Denon D-M38DAB review

It's been around for a while, but it's still an absolute cracker

Impressive build for the money ; digital iPod connection ; exciting, enthusiastic delivery

Nothing at the price

Best microsystem up to £400, Awards 2011. It works best with better speakers, but even with Denon’s own-brand units, the D-M38DAB is an absolute cracker

Denon D-M38DAB review

It might look just like its predecessor, the D-M37DAB, but this little system is a surprisingly worthwhile upgrade

Denon D-M35DAB review

The Denon D-M35DAB has 100 radio presets, a DAB tuner, new-design speakers, MP3 and WMA CDR capability. It looks robust too

IMHO, its just plain fantastic and has no right to be as good as it is for its cost!

Quality System

My rating of excellent is based on the intended usage of the unit: micro-system, not the be confused with a modular/rack system. If you are looking to shake windows and doors, look elsewhere, though, it should be noted that the system has the potential...

Great Sound, Easy Controls, Easy To Set Up, Attractive Design, Powerful

Denon DM38 with speakers

Fabulous build and sound quality for the price.

Quality of MP3 playback from auxiliary sources definitely isn't as good as CD. I cant comment on the ipod/phone port as I use Android.

Consumer review (flipkart.com)

not worthy of price.

It is meant for european music,you will not get of full value of your rupee 31000. Indian music does not sound entertaining.If you increase volume to 15th level, sound start distorting.Not made for indians.
