Anyone using a Denon AVR-X2700H?

I am thinking about getting this unit but it’s not listen on the Roon/Denon page.

I did see, however, in a What-HiFi review that all of Denon’s 2020 X-Series AVRs are now ‘Roon Tested’ devices.

Does anyone have any knowledge?

My plan is to connect my Roon Nucleus via HDMI to the AVR.

It will work fine with hdmi*. The roon tested status is for airplay only. Denon does not support the raat network protocol.

(*The only problem I ever had with hdmi/denon was it would sometimes report wrong handshake info for supported audio formats. It was rare, never figured it out. Got a topping d10 to pass pc usb audio via s/pdif coax, which works great up to 24/192.)

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll see how it works!
