Denon AVR-5308CI AV Receiver Review

 

The AVR-5308CI shares nearly all of the same features found on Denon's $7500 AVP-A1HDCI flagship processor. The AVR-5308CI performed as we'd come to expect from Denon's flagship products - excellently

Dual HDMI outputs ; Independent control of HQV Realta video processing on each input ; THX Ultra2 Certified ; Assignable amplification ; Digital to analogue conversion for multi-zone outputs ; Component video for Zone 2

No anamorphic output scaler for video inputs ; Doesn't make espresso

Denon AVR-5308CI A/V Receiver

 

Tom Waits once wrote a song constructed solely from a lengthy string of clichéd advertising pitches and Ron Popeil-style retail provocations. Some were familiar ("That's right, it filets, it chops, it dices, slices, never stops"), and some were...

As impressive as the picture was, the Dolby TrueHD and 5.1-channel PCM sound impressed me more. For audiophiles, surround sound isn't worthwhile if it lacks suppleness and misses the sophisticated textures and low-level dynamic contrasts presented in...

Denon AVR-5308CI A/V Receiver

 

Fifteen minutes later, as I grunted to curl the monster ultra-high-end AVR into its chest-high slot on my equipment stand, I asked myself the same question.

UltimateAVmag.com: Denon AVR-5308CI A/V Receiver

 

When I answered the door and saw the UPS man standing there with a massive box, I knew that Denon's AVR-5308CI had finally arrived after a series of misadventures. (Don't ask.) "Oh boy, I've been waiting for this A/V receiver!" As the man in brown...

Superb sound from 2-channel to 7.1 sources, Extremely flexible configuration, Every input imaginable (7 HDMI!), LAN compatible

Non-intuitive interface (although better than many), Good, but not perfect, auto configuration, Main remote did not fit my ape-like paws

Who needs a 75-pound receiver? I do, now that I've lived with the Denon AVR-5308CI. Its sound is superb, its video processing is state-of-the-art, and it offers access to just about any source I could dream of. Add to that it's phenomenal flexibility,...
