The Denon Home Amp is a compact 2-channel streaming amplifier delivering 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms, built around an Axign Class D power module and tuned by Denon's Sound Master team. Designed to bring any pair of passive loudspeakers into the HEOS ecosystem, it handles music from virtually every streaming source, local network files, USB drives, and physical inputs, all in a chassis that measures 86 x 217 x 234mm and weighs just 2.1kg. It fits in a bookshelf, on a rack shelf alongside other components, or tucked discreetly behind a TV.
Beyond its streaming credentials, the Home Amp is a practical TV audio upgrade. The HDMI eARC input connects to any compatible television with a single cable and passes HD audio formats including Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio directly to the speakers, making it a capable alternative to a soundbar where real loudspeakers are preferred. A subwoofer output with configurable low-pass and high-pass crossovers, Dirac Live room correction support, 3.5mm IR input for control system integration, and Crestron, Control4, and AMX compatibility make it equally at home in a custom installation as in a straightforward living room setup. Up to 64 HEOS zones can be linked through the HEOS app for whole-home audio distribution.

Why Consider the Denon Home Amp
The Home Amp is a strong choice for anyone who wants real loudspeakers in a room that currently relies on a soundbar or TV speakers, or for someone building out a HEOS multi-room system room by room without running full-width components everywhere. The HDMI eARC connection handles TV audio cleanly, the HEOS platform covers every major streaming service, and the Dirac Live option gives it room correction capability that very few amplifiers at this price point offer. Its small footprint and low operating temperature also make it a practical fit for enclosed rack and cabinetry installations where heat management matters.
Ideal for
- Rooms where a full-width receiver or amplifier would be out of place or too large
- TV audio upgrades using real passive speakers instead of a soundbar
- HEOS multi-room installations requiring distributed amplification across multiple zones
- Bedrooms, kitchens, or studies needing a compact but capable streaming amplifier
- Custom installations with Crestron, Control4, or AMX control systems
- Listeners who want Dirac Live room correction in a compact, affordable package
