Denon HEOS Drive Streaming Amplifier | 4 Audio Streams

Denon HEOS Drive Streaming Amplifier | 4 Audio Streams

The Denon HEOS Drive is an 8-channel rack-mount streaming amplifier occupying 2U of rack space, purpose-built for whole-home audio distribution across up to four independent zones. It eliminates the need for separate amplifiers and streaming hardware in multi-room installations, delivering 60 watts per channel into 8 ohms with all channels driven, or 130 watts per channel in bridged mono mode.

Each of the four zones is served by a dedicated USB port, and four pairs of stereo pre-amp outputs allow connection to external power amplifiers where higher output is required. Digital inputs include two optical and one coaxial connection, plus a rear Type-B USB supporting PCM files up to 32-bit/384 kHz and 11.2 MHz DSD. Supported streaming services include Spotify, TIDAL, Amazon Music, Pandora, Deezer, TuneIn, iHeartRadio, SiriusXM, SoundCloud, and Napster. The unit operates on 100-240 V AC auto-switching power and weighs 15.9 lb.
