I have a 6700 bought last Winter. Do I have any rights to request a replacement model which DOES have the fix, under warranty?
Hi stblob, I do indeed. Thanks for the spot - now corrected.When it became apparent in late 2021 that the initial rollout of HDMI 2.1 supporting AV devices by a number of high profile manufacturers was badly affected by a hardware bug in the associated chipset, the industry had to scramble to get workarounds and fixes in place.
You mean 2020 right?
Unfortunately they're bundling lower quality DAC's with the updated fixed HDMI 2.1

of course DAC matter...they have been selling a product for 8 months with a sound quality and certain "reliability"...that products gets very good reviews..and BAM denon decides to get another chipset that sounds different....does not tell anyone about it (except on DENON japan site...) and does not send review samples to the press ?!!
The V2 DENONs are NOT the SAME as V1 DENONs that is a fact !
the new DAC's are lower grade Burrbrown and older ones compared to the ex AKM! these Burrbrown if i am not mistaking are used by old low grade yamahas (RX-v300/400/500 et v600 series !!!)
so no that is NOT GOOD news !
@Andy Bassett should update this article with this critical info !!! most people are willing to get the hdmi bug version as it has the superior AKM !!!!!
Does the lower grade DAC affect the 2700h or am I good to try and swap my defective hdmi 2.1 model?
The quoted serial number is a direct cut and paste from the email received from Sound United's PR company so should be correct.Are we sure the serial number guide is correct. I had a X2700H on back order since june and it arrived last week. Its serial number is ********17138 so maybe they added an extra 0 to the example?
try and register your amp for the spk618 adaptor box, if you have the new version of the amp it wont let you order the box, it will tell you that you are setup for 4k (or somethng like that), if its the old version of the amp you will get to order the boxAre we sure the serial number guide is correct.

I never said they didn’t matter I said plenty of people debate how much difference they make. In objectivist circles the prevailing view is that all modern DACs easily achieve red book standard so are effectively transparent. Most also achieve transparency with hi-res too. Other people will argue that the implementation is more important than just putting in the DAC with the best specs.@fordster @Dobbyisfree @Hixs
