They are controllable via android-app or web-interface, they can play internet radio and music from an attached usb stick. What I haven't gotten to work is playing from network resources (because I have neither samba nor an dlna-server running). What is working fine is stream music via bluetooth from my android phone. Didn't try with linux as the desktop is in a different room and has studio monitors attached to it. I like the Digital Room Correction of my Denon amp, some sweeps on the main listening positions and it gives you really good sound in the living room. I have mine running with four JBL control 1 pro and it didn't irritate the amp that there is neither a center nor a subwoofer, it just works. The app and the web-interface are both on the verge of crap, they work good enough to not directly rewriting them, but the fact that denon also publishes the network protocol definition to control the amps really tempts me to write my own control for the amp. And to integrate it into the ongoing diy home automation project. - Arnold
