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.
