Whenever we review new products, we spend a lot of time thinking 'wouldn't it be great if it had this' or 'we wish that would have worked better'. Denon, like Apple, seems to nail what we fickle reviewers are looking for, resulting in some of the highest scores we've ever dished out.
We were taken aback by the sleek coolness of Denon's latest DVD system, the S-101 which we saw previewed ahead of its release next month. It connects to Apple's third and fourth generation iPods via a proprietary cable, flashing off its domination of the white music player by raising the Denon logo on its screen. From there, it proceeds to own the little blighter by taking its lowly AAC-compressed music files and running them through its super-smooth 24-bit filters to improve the sound. It's just a shame that the iPod drawn on screen looked like it had been squeezed directly from a Commodore 64.
If you're sat straddling the cutting edge on the machete of technology, then Denon's two-speaker system will fit right in with your fancy 32-inch LCD screen. It's not too expensive either at £850, but to find out whether it's value for money, wait for our full review. -GC
