Denon Receiver

[Adam]

Good evening:

Can I connect the X5 SS through my Denon Receiver without any issues?

I know it says you can't with the PS6.

Thank you,

  Both the x5ss and the p6 can be connected to the p6

Futher to your post it doesn't say you can't use it with your receiver Its referring to initial setup

How old is that info ? I did not bother to check YT.  

The P6 has been getting all sorts of fixes, since it was introduced last year.  Sure when it was first introduced, like any modern device it had a few bugs.

But if you take some time, you can read the release notes of the various updates and you will see there were many audio bugs fixed, including for Bitstream audio, passthrough codecs etc... Even updated HW Codec libraries not long ago to fix rare but potential glitches with some types of streams.

Example of one from August 2024 where amongst other things, they addressed the following:

Quote

- Improved BT device pairing in settings
- BT improvements - changes aligned with original SDK
- Fixed BT audio path and playback of sound on BT audio equipment
- Fixed Unsupported codec passthrough (new changes verified)
- Fixed Bitstream Audio

If you have a receiver, you will most probably enable passthrough and let the receiver handle the decoding.  There was an issue with some passthrough, but they have been addressed over the number of updates.
