Is the AVR-X2800H good for PS5 and Xbox Series X?

Yes. It passes 4K at 120Hz with VRR and ALLM through its HDMI 2.1 inputs, and it supports 8K. Enable the 8K Enhanced setting on the input you use for the console.

How many speakers can it power?

Seven, in a 7.2 or 5.2.2 layout, with two subwoofer outputs. That covers Dolby Atmos and DTS:X without extra amplification.

Does it support Dolby Atmos and DTS:X?

Yes, both, along with Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS Virtual:X for height effects from a standard layout.

Can I stream Spotify and Apple Music to it?

Yes. HEOS, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth and Spotify Connect are built in, and TuneIn, Pandora and SiriusXM are supported through HEOS.

How does it compare with the AVR-X3800H?

The X3800H adds two more amplified channels, four subwoofer outputs and an optional Dirac Live upgrade. The X2800H is smaller and simpler but covers a 7.2 setup well.

Can I use it for a second room?

Yes. It has a second-zone pre-out and speaker assignment, so you can play a different source in another room.

Our take on the Denon AVR-X2800H

The Denon AVR-X2800H is a 7.2-channel AV receiver with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X decoding, seven HDMI inputs and three HDMI 2.1 outputs that pass 8K and high-frame-rate 4K with Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and HLG. Its discrete high-current amplifier is rated at 90 watts per channel (two channels driven), and Audyssey MultEQ XT room calibration plus a guided setup assistant handle speaker setup. HEOS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and AirPlay 2 cover streaming, and a second zone lets you send audio elsewhere in the house. It sits in the middle of Denon's range: more power and channels than the entry AVR-S series, but without the AVR-X3800H's nine channels, four subwoofer outputs and Dirac upgrade. Owners rate it highly for gaming features and ease of setup; the main complaints are its size, the remote and the on-screen menus.

Pros

Dolby Atmos and DTS:X on a 7.2 layout, with two subwoofer outputs
Audyssey MultEQ XT calibration and a step-by-step setup assistant

Cons

Only 90 W per channel, so hard-to-drive speakers may want more power

Large, heavy chassis needs ventilation space in a cabinet
Basic remote and dated on-screen interface
No QMS, so some source switches can still cause a brief blank screen
