The D-F102DAB replaces the D-F101 and does so with great panache.
Each D-F102 starts life as two mini hi-fi separates, a CD Player
and a Compact DAB/RDS Receiver, both packed with Denon's latest
audio technology and importanntly for 2007, Denon's ECO Stand-by
power circuit, using less than 0.1 w in standby.
When these are connected together, an array of remote & intelligent
features come into operation, turning the components into a smart,
easy-to-operate mini Hi-fi. The key to this product is that Denon
care about music as well as looks, the electronics are way above
average and the speakers are designed in Europe and voiced for UK
tastes.
The D-F102 will fill all but the largest room with a quality and
richness of sound that is very rare in systems of this class and
unusually, the 102 has inputs for a phono turntable and an optional
cassette deck.
Each miniature component is based on Denon's Advanced Evolution
hi-fi. The 102CD is an advanced 192kHz/24bit player, the 102DAB
receiver uses audiophile design & components and a fully specified
DAB/RDS tuner. Partnered with the new Denon Euro speakers, the sound
quality is superb for a system of this size & price. As usual
Denon don't force customers to buy things they don't need. The speakers
and cassette are options.
