Many Bluetooth receivers just use the basic DAC inside the Bluetooth chip. Advance Paris uses a separate one — the Cirrus Logic CS4344. It’s a 24-bit\/192kHz converter picked for better sound.

Standard aptX streams at 16-bit\/44.1kHz — about the same as a CD. aptX HD streams at 24-bit\/48kHz, which is hi-res quality. That means more detail in your music. Your phone needs to support aptX HD too. Most newer Android phones do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the WTX-1100 work with my iPhone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. iPhones use AAC for Bluetooth, and the WTX-1100 supports AAC. You won’t get aptX HD quality from an iPhone, but AAC still sounds good. For the best quality, use an Android phone with aptX HD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I get the best sound from the WTX-1100?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse a phone that supports aptX HD. Play music from a hi-res service like Tidal or Qobuz. Connect to your amp with the RCA output. If you have a better external DAC, use the optical or coaxial output instead. Your amp and speakers matter too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use more than one output at the same time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The RCA analog output, optical Toslink, and coaxial RCA all work at the same time. This is handy for comparing your external DAC to the built-in one, or for feeding two devices at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the WTX-1100 compare to the WTX-Tubes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth use aptX HD, Bluetooth 5.0, and the same output types. The difference is the output stage. The WTX-1100 uses a Cirrus Logic CS4344 DAC for clean, neutral sound. The WTX-Tubes adds two vacuum tubes in a Class A circuit for a warmer, softer sound. Pick the WTX-1100 for accuracy. Pick the WTX-Tubes for warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill there be a delay when watching video?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor music, you won’t notice any delay. For video, there can be a small gap between the picture and the sound. aptX has about 70ms of delay. aptX HD has about 130ms. Most phones adjust for this on their own. If you use the WTX-1100 mainly for music, this won’t matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many devices can it remember?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to 8.

You don’t have to use all of them at once — you can start with 2 speakers (stereo) and add more over time. The “.2” refers to two separate subwoofer outputs, which gives you the option of placing subs in two locations in the room for more even bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need 8K TV to use this receiver?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The AVR-S980H supports 8K pass-through, but it works perfectly with any 4K or 1080p TV as well. The HDMI 2.1 ports are also where you get benefits like 4K\/120Hz, VRR, and ALLM for gaming — features that work with current 4K TVs and game consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is HEOS and do I need it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHEOS is Denon’s whole-home music platform. It lets you stream music to the AVR-S980H and to other HEOS-enabled speakers throughout the house, all from one app. You don’t need HEOS to use the receiver — it also works with Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, and Spotify Connect. But if you want whole-home audio or wireless rear surround speakers (via firmware update), HEOS is how you get there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this as a stereo amplifier for music?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbsolutely. The AVR-S980H works just as well as a two-channel stereo amplifier for music listening as it does as a full surround sound system. You can connect a turntable, stream from Spotify, play from a CD player, or stream hi-res audio. It’s genuinely versatile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it work with my turntable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, if your turntable has a moving magnet (MM) cartridge and no built-in phono stage, plug it directly into the dedicated phono input. If your turntable has a built-in phono preamp (common on most entry-level and mid-range tables), plug it into any standard line input instead and switch the built-in preamp off if it has that option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s the difference between this and the older AVR-S970H?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AVR-S980H is the 2026 update to the 2022 AVR-S970H. Key additions include: Channel Level Monitoring for easier setup and troubleshooting, 1440p gaming pass-through, AMD FreeSync support, a new browser-based web control interface, and future wireless surround support for Denon Home speakers via firmware update. Core specs like power output and HDMI 2.1 remain similar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the wireless rear surrounds available now?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot yet at launch. Denon has confirmed that support for using Denon Home 200, 400, and 600 speakers as wireless rear surround speakers will arrive via a future firmware update. The date hasn’t been announced. Wired surround speakers work fully from day one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat speakers should I pair with this?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AVR-S980H works with virtually any passive (non-powered) speakers with 4–16 ohm impedance — bookshelf speakers, floor-standing towers, in-wall speakers, and so on. For surround sound, you’ll typically want a matching center channel and surround speakers from the same brand or line.
