Denon DNP-720AE Review

 

While the world is wondering if CD players still exist, we recently saw the advent of one more product category that could further hasten the so-called extinction of CDs in the AV world — the network audio player. A network audio player simply has the...

The idea of a network audio player is to be a single point source to all the digital music that you have with you and the Denon DNP-720AE does the job with all its integrity. Be it an iPad, USB drives, portable media players, storage drives or a...

Denon DNP-720AE Network Audio Player Preview

 

we looked at was less than impressive. While Denon has a reputation to maintain, it is clear that they'll have to put together something special for consumers to plop down their hard-earned cash.

Who is the target audience for the Denon DNP-720AE Networkd Audio Player? Obviously custom installers but we think there are quite a few others that will be interested. With Apple's AirPlay on board, you have just about all the advanced network...

Denon, DNP 720AE - £300

 

Denon has entered the network audio player market with an inexpensive, iPod-friendly player. Malcolm Steward streams his tunes

The elegant simplicity of the unit is appealing

Performance should be more consistent and predictable

Performance can be good, or not so good, depending purely upon the music you play

Denon DNP-720AE review

 

Denon's DNP-720AE audio streamer is designed to fit seamlessly alongside your hi-fi and AV separates. It has AM and FM radio tuners, but lacks DAB. However, it supports a massive range of internet radio stations, plus Apple AirPlay, Napster and...

This smart hi-fi separates style media streamer looks and sounds great, although some rivals outdo it for features

Excellent

 

Excellent piece of kit. Obviously look around for the best deal but at just over £200 this is a very good buy. Easy to use and feature packed, having looked at the competition and the prices this is the top in terms of facilities and cost. Now that the...

Excellent solution to my CD storage problem

 

I bought this along with a WD MyBookLIve NAS. I connected them both by ethernet cable to my NetGear router. My first task was to upgrade the firmware on both of them to the latest version - simplicity itself! I ripped some CDs in flac format to the NAS...

Not quite what I'd hoped

 

Bought this unit to convert my 600 CDs into a high quality 'jukebox' through the hifi. I installed a WD network hard drive to hold ripped files at max quality. Plus points - Easy to initially set up. Found home wifi immediately Sound quality on...

No Napster

 

I've had this product for six months or so and am fairly pleased with it. My one real disappointment is that within a month of purchase Denon withdrew support for Napster, so note that the product description isn't up to date. I'm using it with a Denon...

Brilliant Audio Streamer

 

Having bought a Denon amplifier and digital radio some time ago before the idea of streaming music had really taken off I had used a Freecom product to stream music to the Denon amp. While this worked reasonably well it was not reliable despite being...
