Denon CEOL RCD-N10 stereo receiver | Crutchfield

[@Mr_Kenneth]

Great review 👏 and a great looking bit of kit. just bought the stylish grey colour as a xmas gift for my sister. Looking forward to buying the extra speaker too. Its £499 in the UK

[@bernicewood8476]

Thank you for this. I have narrowed my choices down to this and one other and this helped me decide. (Because it shows how I can use my existing speakers).

[@crutchfield]

You're welcome, Bernice. Glad we can help. If you need anything further, please let us know.

[@RP-ms7lu]

I think match this with kef q150

[@carlosw1687]

hello, thanks for your review. I have two questions: 1)Does the FM radio station memories are kept even if you disconnect the stereo from the wall outlet? I usually disconnect all of my electronics when Im out of home. I listen to FM radio a lot! 2)Also, does the CD player has the "resume" feature? I mean, if you are playing a CD and for some reason you have to stop it and turn off the stereo, even disconnect it... Once you get back to playing the CD in the tray, does the stereo remembers the track and the minute and second you were playing? Or do you have to start playing the CD all the from the beginning? It's very important feature even more so when playing mp3 CD's with lots of files. Thanks in advance

[@crutchfield]

The unit does not specifically mention that it can retain those settings and position when the power is unplugged and we have not had an opportunity to test. We recommend checking with Denon's support by calling 800-497-8921 to check if it can remember those details

[@RP-ms7lu]

IF you are in search of a nice hifi system, I suggest you get this N10 available at discount and mate it with kef q150 and hear the brilliant sound ! Beats twice priced system easily. Try and hear !

[@crutchfield]

The Denon CEOL RCD-N10 is no longer available for purchase through Crutchfield. For a current model, you will want to purchase the RCD-N12 in the link below, paired with KEF bookshelf speakers it does make for quite a potent system quality-wise!🤘🥰👏 www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc166/p_033RCDN12/Denon-CEOL-RCD-N12.html

[@FlickYourEndOut]

Does the front usb port provide enough power to allow the use of a standard external USB hard drive? Or just flash drives?

[@crutchfield]

A portable hard disk drive (a.k.a external hard drive) will require an external power supply to work with the USB port on this device.

[@christiandingwell4455]

I have this system connected to a pair of Dali Oberon 3 and I think it's a good combination at a resonable cost.

[@crutchfield]

Very nice! What sources are you listening to most often?

[@vascoernesto78]

Dios it display the song title when playing a CD? Also since this is a receiver, I can plug in my record player, right?

[@crutchfield]

Denon does not show support for CD Text from commercial Audio CDs; but compatible data tags stored on CD-R or CD-RW discs can show Title, artist and album names. You will need a separate phono preamp to connect a turntable.

[@RiggerHippie]

You can plug in turntables that have built it pre-amp

[@priest1506]

Hi, thank you for the very detail review! I was wondering if the Denon N10 (or N11) can connect to a bluetooth speaker (Naim Muso QB) to stream cd? I would like to get the Denon N11 (without speakers) and connect to wireless speakers (which I have some at home) to play my cd collection. Is sit possible with this device or do I need another solution? Thank you very much

[@crutchfield]

The Denon N10 model does transmit audio via Bluetooth, but the current version, the N12 does. You can find it here: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc227/p_033RCDN12/item.html

[@juandlopezb]

Hi, Everywhere is out stock, this system has been discontinued? will be a new version? and a second question this can be connected to a turntable? thanks for the help!

[@crutchfield]

Hi Juan David. The Denon CEOL RCDN10 is a current model. Sorry, there is currently no ETA on for it. But you can reserve one by ordering now. We won't charge you until we ship it.

[@JuanDavidMena-oo5li]

Hi! I have The Powered Speakers Edifier S1000 MK II and I just need to listen to my CDs, I am thinking of purchasing the Yamaha CD Player S303 and I don't wanna spend more money in other devices, but now that I just watched this review, I am wondering which would be worthwhile alongside using my active speakers The DENON N10 or Yamaha?

[@crutchfield]

This Denon unit cannot work with active speakers. It only has speaker level outputs that work with passive speakers. The Yamaha player is better for your setup and it can be found here: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc227/p_022CDS303/item.html

[@FlickYourEndOut]

Can you browse files stored on a NAS or do you have to view the NAS on another device and stream them via Bluetooth to the Denon?

[@crutchfield]

It sure can work with NAS devices as long as they are DLNA compliant

Hi Eric. Really enjoyed your review and was hoping you could help me out with a few doubts. I really enjoy music but not to clued up on technical knowledge. I have a Audio-Technica DD Turntable, a Sony TC-K611S cassette deck and Dali Spektor 2 speakers. I was wondering if this Denon RCD-N10 can support my existing equipment!? Thanks

[@crutchfield]

Hi Jon, sounds like you have a great setup so far! We're happy to help you match a new receiver with a bit more info. What model is your turntable? Do you have a phono preamp for it? Are there any specific features you need? Thanks!

Depending on the outputs--maybe. What type of audio outputs do your piano have?

[@sanvitoalessio1504]

Stereo output two pairs 1/4 " balanced ...nothing more...thank you for the a answere.is a korg D1.

[@crutchfield]

You can connect but will need some additional gear. The Rolls MB15b ProMatch in the first link below takes a balanced input from pro audio gear and converts it to RCA line-level. Since it has XLR female inputs, you'll also need two of the Hosa Balanced 1/4" to XLR adapters in the second link for your 1/4" male connections, and an RCA cable to connect the Rolls to your DENON RCD-N10. www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc166/p_172MB15B/Rolls-MB15b-ProMatch.html www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc166/p_979GXJ235/Hosa-Balanced-1-4-to-XLR-Adapter.html

[@Timbo_tango]

Isn't it possible to use the front headphone jack and plug in a 3.5stereo jack to L/R RCA lead to get it to run as a preamp?

[@crutchfield]

The headphone jack does offer a signal output option. It does incorporate a headphone amp though. What are you hoping to connect to specifically?

[@Timbo_tango]

@@crutchfield a multi room amp

[@crutchfield]

You may want to consider incorporating the amp via Heos instead due to the headphone amp and since when using the headphone jack output, audio will no longer be output from the Denon's connected speakers. What is your exact setup? What model is your amp? What sources do you want to listen to in each zone?

[@Greggg-e8t]

I’m thinking of getting this and connecting it to my home 350 and its wired speakers simultaneously. Is that possible?

[@crutchfield]

You can use the Denon CEOL RCDN10 as part of a multiroom Heos system. What sources are you looking to stream? What brand/model speakers do you want to power?

[@Greggg-e8t]

@@crutchfield thanks for the reply. I have a home 350 and I considered the ceol and a second home 350. Stereo pairing both 350s and playing music from cds and a usb stick. Finally i decided to get more traditional speakers and use them with my tascam cd player. I won’t get the ceol and I’ll sell the 350. Nothings can be as as trustworthy as the good old cables. Btw i bought the edifier 2000mk3. Connected to a tascam cd200

Good eye! The Denon RCD-N10 is equipped with four spring-post terminals to connect a pair of 4-to-16-ohm loudspeakers. The spring-post terminals will accept bare wire (up to 14AWG), but do not support the use of banana plugs.

[@elementkx]

I would consider if it had a rear USB input for a computer.

[@crutchfield]

Although its USB input doesn't support the direct connection of a computer, you could wirelessly stream music files stored on a Windows PC using the Denon HEOS app.

[@solfergav]

Very happy with mine... Except for the fact Optical 1 displays "Unsupported" when I play Netflix or Disney+ via my Samsung TV. I get no sound. Plays sound fine when it's normal TV channels though 😡

DAB+ is not a feature on the CEOL RCD-N12, nor is HD radio which more common to the U.S. The Denon does feature a built-in AM/FM tuner with 50 station auto-preset memory tuning.

[@TechTalkTobi]

could i also use 250 Ohm Headphones on it ? ... somebody know this ?

[@crutchfield]

Denon does not specify an impedance compatibility range for the 3.5mm headphone output. You can set the gain (High, Mid, Low) of the headphone amplifier in accordance with the impedance of your connected headphones. In most cases, a dedicated headphone amp would work best with headphones rated above 200-ohms.
