Denon AVR-1913 Review
The good: The Denon AVR-1913 has a good set of features, with six HDMI inputs, built-in AirPlay, an iOS/Android app, DLNA compatibility, and built-in streaming audio services like Pandora, Sirius, and Internet radio. The included remote is best-in-class and the user interface is easy to navigate. And like last year's model, the AVR-1913 has excellent sound quality.
The bad: The Denon AVR-1913 is relatively expensive, especially since it lacks a standout feature to distinguish itself from competitors. It doesn't have built-in Wi-Fi or an affordable Wi-Fi dongle. Denon's step-down AVR-1713 will be a better buy for most people, who don't need 7.1 channels or analog video upconversion.
The bottom line: The Denon AVR-1913 has a solid set of features and excellent sound quality, but competing AV receivers offer better value.
