It’s a great sounding receiver don’t get me wrong. However, at $3500 I don’t think it’s worth the extra cost unless you are running similar set up to mine:
5.2.4 (Left, Right, Center, Surround Left, Surround Right, Dolby Front L, Dolby Front R, Dolby Surround Left, Dolby Surround Right, 2 Subwoofer)
4800 to me gets the job done unless need 2 extra amplified channels to bi-amp your front left and right speakers. If you are not bi-amping or need 140 watts the 4800 at 125 watts is just fine. I hope my review helps.

I bought the 6800H, its super great. It has all the bells and whistles you will ever need. and it is future proof. Also it easy to set-up and you can add 4 subwoofers to you HT room. You can also add a power amp to the system which is so cool. The sound is amazing, running 9.2 speakers system and my wife loves it.

I’m blown away by this Denon 6800. I bought it to replace my Yamaha rx 2070. I was very happy with the Yamaha but a couple of friends of mine are Denon fans. They have the 4400 and the 4700 so I knew the sound quality of Denon and I was impress how they sounded on their systems. We set it up and they did their tweaking and the sound quality was amazing. My speakers never sounded this good with the Yamaha. I have a 7 speaker GoldenEar system 2 original Triton 2s , 1 SuperSat 50 , and 4 SuperSat 3s. It sounds like a mini IMAX theater in here. If you’re looking to upgrade your receiver I highly highly recommend the 6800. If you catch it on sale like I did don’t hesitate.

I got the X6800H primarily to try Dirac. I upgraded from the X6500H but unfortunately I keep experiencing video dropouts, randomly. The device input doesn’t seem to matter but once it goes out switching inputs doesn’t help. I have to power cycle to get video back. This happens about once a day. There’s also another issue with eARC through the LG G3 television. A couple places online are saying that the 800 series have issues with eARC and the LG G3 and possibly C3 televisions.
They are using a new HDMI board and chip set. They removed QMS support and that was to help with black screens when devices are changing refresh rates. But they had issues getting it to work so removed support but the stuck blackouts happen when switching inputs, as they do with most HDMI AVRs like my old X6500H but with the X6800H it randomly will not come back until you power the AVR off and back on.
The eARC it seems to also be new to the 800 series as folks with X4800H AVRs have been dealing with it for almost a year. Someone on AVS posted that Denon support finally says they know about it and may have a fix in a future firmware.
All I know is, I’m not the only one, swapping cables don’t help, and reconnecting the X6500H fixes both issues. My Denon support person has been giving me the runaround saying nothing can be the AVRs fault and then telling me to send it in for service and will not respond to requests about known issues.
So you have no info on what Denon support has told others about the 800 series and eARC audio issues?
I provided the information in my previous reply.

I have only had this for a month but so far so good. Great sound with a lot of features. Before buying this unit i owned the Denon x6700h. It was a great receiver as well however, my house experienced a power surge during a thunder storm and it fried my receiver so i had to purchase this unit which replace the 6700

I upgraded to this as my previous AV did not have any external outs for amps. Decision between Denon and Marantz came down to actual size of the unit. The 6800’s physical footprint is significantly smaller than all other Denon and Marantz with these specs. I didn’t want to change my brand new console center piece unless absolutely necessary so this fit perfectly. This new release unit has all the specs of the top of line model with tons of power. No issues with it whatsoever since initial setup approximately 2 months ago. It is loaded with latest updates and future proof, relatively no need for me to upgrade this for many years to come. Very satisfied with my purchase.
