The good news: Denon’s new owner, Harman, is a big audio company backed by Samsung. HEOS mostly works on your home network, and AirPlay 2 gives you another way to play music.
The bad news: Harman now owns several overlapping audio brands, so HEOS could be merged or replaced as Harman simplifies its lineup.
If you own Denon (HEOS)
- Use AirPlay 2 or Spotify Connect where your device supports them.
- Watch for app changes as Harman combines its brands.
