My X6700 ran extremely hot. Hotter than any other receiver/amp I've owned, even at lower volumes.to owners of 2020 DENONs
do these avr's RUN HOT or not ??? i have read very conflicted reviews some says they are ok, other claim they are boilers ! i am curious mainly regarding the x3700 running in 5.1.4
thanks in advance
As @Mr Wolf says I think it's normal for A/B amps.@Fillius did you manage to find out after a year...if this is normal or not ? the only BRAND that RUNS "COLD" seems to be yamaha...
thanks for the input guys...i guess i could get an x3700 before the years end...as no stock until mid septembre...
I just measured the top of my x3700 after playing a 60hz 4k XBOX game with Atmos for a couple of hours, using an IR therm. I'm running it with 5.1.4, and have placed a center speaker on some struts a couple of centimeters above the unit (yeah, I know not that clever). Anyway the top-grating of the unit was some 44 degrees (Celsius) at the highest.to owners of 2020 DENONs

@Joe C
Forul member here told me it was very unlikely that the new stock will fix the hdmi issue... Yet you told me a V2 is coming?!
I did ask denon by mail about this and they said they have no clue.. Lol
It this V2 confirmed?
Interesting!WARNING:
hi all, just read (on the AS forum) that DENON (following the fires in the AKM plant) changed the DAC on all their 2020 range... no one knows exactly what is inside the v2 models now but i found someone who posted this (he got if from FB!!)
A) 3700H and 4700H goes from 2 x AK4458 to 7 x TIBurrBrown PCM5102A
B) 6700H goes from 2 xAK4458 to 8 x TI BurBrown PCM5102A
C) 8500HA goes from 8 x AK4490 to 8 x ESS Technology ES9010K2M
D) A110 is 8x AK4490
that forum clearly states that the new DACs are inferior to the old ones...and were used by DENON because they did not have other options !!
are these BB dac's the same yamaha uses on their lower end models ?! if it is this sucks! in any case SQ of the new manufactured V2 DENONS will not be the same as the V1 version 2020 !!!!

What a mess
