Re: [SurroundSound] Re: Problems with QUAD playback on new Denon 6300H AVR

I get the four channel icons to light up too (both input and output), but alas, no sound from the rear.   Unfortunately it too late for me to return it.

That'd odd because my Denon (AVR-4311ci) certainly plays 4ch PCM files  (either from a DVD-A disc player,  or decoded on the fly from FLAC files by foobar2k on my laptop)

Four little channel icons light up, as expected.

Heads up folks, finally got a call into Denon about this playback issue.  

 

Per their technical support, the Denon 6300H, their flagship $1600 AVR, only supports 2 channel FLAC files.  I was shocked to hear that, and not happy.  Frankly not sure if its just pure BS.  Seems like BS since this unit plays all other FLACs (stereo, 5 channel & 6 channel), just not 4 channel.

 

They claimed this limitation is in their manual, but I could not find any reference to it. This will be my first and last Denon unit.  :^(  

 

Now in process of converting all my quad sounds to 5.1, PITA!
