I aloso got this product yesterday. I'm so satisfied. Thank you for your kind explanation. form SOUTH KOREA.

Great work, Tom. 😊

[@jesushuerta9878]

Hi .I see in specs that this unit has a lot of harmonic distortion (THD =10%), but at the end.. hows the sound? do you notice any hiss with this kind of unit ?

[@RanTausi]

Just bought a week ago second hand OLD model ,DM38DAB with original denon speakers The unit is like new and I am really impressed by the sound quality. For me Bluetooth is not a deal breaker as the unit has two aux input , so very easy to connect external Bluetooth device.

[@photomusicman9413]

Great review Tom.

[@gekonst]

Hi, is the bluetooth only for mobile devices sending sound to it? Or is it also for DM41 sending sound to wireless headphones?

[@tillywitch6]

I have bought one and am totally thrilled with it.

[@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey]

Glad you like your Hi-Fi as much as we do Roz! :)

[@Eliskoopa]

I also bought one and although I am pleased with it, I noticed that the sound from a CD is actually worse than from Bluetooth. It seems lifeless and flat in comparison. Have you also noticed that?

[@johnmcmanus5582]

Eliskoopa the cd sounds significantly better than Bluetooth! The removal of USB is a massive fail on an otherwise great piece of kit

[@gooseywhispers]

hi is there a way to change the bass and treble on the unit itself or do you have to go through menus on the remote control ?

Annoyed that the USB port has gone. And no FLAC support either??? I have a desktop PC - which has bluetooth - and it would be a few feet away from the Denon (if I bought one). Would I be able to play my USB sticks on my PC and have them play via Bluetooth through the Denon? Many thanks.

[@javierrosmellado3580]

I have it a few weeks ago, everything perfect, clean and crisp sound, without distortion, but compared to my previous Onkyo my complaint or what I have noticed "strange" is that after a while of being working, and especially at a certain volume I notice that it is It heats up the chassis, especially the right side, I have modular hifi amplifiers and it doesn't get as hot as a hifi rack amp but I don't remember the previous Onkyo getting that hot. My question is: Is it normal? Can the temperature it reaches affect the discs? I deduce that if the chassis is hot it is to cool the interior as much as possible?

[@Andrewtech114]

Yes is normal its ho is it is because there is a lot of eletronics on the inside

[@1coteca]

Nice system! I used to have a DM39 then I upgraded to the CEOL N9 for wireless capability and high resolution flac playback.

[@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey]

Great choice, I personally loved the fact the N9 has high resolution flac playback :)

[@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey]

@Quincy Breed USB was a big downgrade, but Denon was looking forward and how big streaming were bringing the cost of the unit down while keeping the features most people use... BUT i agree that removing the USB was a mistake.

[@xtraspecial4677]

Frank Harvey Hi Fi Excellence hi in you’re opinion is the denon dm41 as good as the denon pma 60 .

[@bitTorrenter]

A great improvement over the DM38. I was able to connect: 1) Panasonic TV via Optical (1) 2) XBox via Optical (2) 3) Panasonic BD player via RCA, using a cheap DCA converter. Optical (Out) on BD player to DCA, and 3.5mm to RCA cable from DCA to Denon. 4) Smartphone using BT. Using Dali Zensor 1s the sound was far superior than the speakers on the TV.

[@MOGGS1942]

I love my Denon DM40, and was quite excited to hear that a new model was coming out. Sadly, I am not into bluetooth, and there is no USB on the new model. So, I guess it's no change for me.

[@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey]

The DM40 is still a great piece of Hi Fi!

[@wernerholt5490]

Speakers Denon SC-M41 + Denon DRA-800H receiver. Can You tell how it sounds?

[@paulm2322]

Just bought this and very happy with it except for one thing. I can’t find a particular radio station after tuning DAB. Is there a way to manually tune DAB? I’ve retuned it a few times and it has picked up 82 channels but not the channel I want to listen to. Cheers.

[@tufftraveller4784]

Your WiFi router is probably interfering with the signal. DAB isn't that great to be honest.

[@LittleRichard1988]

This one if definately more superior to the Panasonic SC-PM250. Even though it doesn't have a USB this one does have an auxilery input so it can be used with either a record player or a cassette deck. If my current system ever fails and I decided to get another micro/mini system I would go for a Denon as Denon are really good but in my case I would most likely go for hi fi seperates.

[@GladiusYTR]

Is the subwoofer out for an active sub with satellites? Can it be used in conjunction with the normal speaker posts or is it one or the other?

[@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey]

Instead of medium-sized or floorstanding speakers you can use an active subwoofer with small satellite speakers using the output, so effectively yes it is to replace the normal speakers. If you need any further help drop us a call on 02476 631 707, or just leave us another comment. 🙂

[@GladiusYTR]

@@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey I have medium sized speakers but I also have a 2.1 computer system with a large active sub that I'd like to keep using. So you confirm that I can't use them simultaneously with this unit?

[@jigrodrigues]

Hi there mate. Tks for the video! I'm not an old man but I am more of an engines guy and less the electronics type. So please bear with me and please help me out in two questions (I want to buy this model and I cant figure it out from denons website): 1) there is not an usb port but can I connect through cable an mp3 player? 2) will the bluetooth function connect with a wireless headset? Many thanks.

[@maldad7925]

A bit late response but, 1. Yes, you can plug a 3.5 mm to RCA cable from the player to the Denon input. 2. No, the bluetooth function only receives signal, it does not send signal.

[@FusionMusic]

Anyone know if the new Denon D-T1 is a replacement over this or just a lower priced model in the Denon line up? I'm thinking to purchse a new system but not sure if I should buy D-M41 or D-T1.

[@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey]

It is certainly derived from the D-M41and features a lot of what the DM41 does www.denon.co.uk/uk/product/compactsystem/bluetoothsystem/dt1 However, both mini systems would be fantastic.

[@ifyouseekhayley]

Thanks for the review. I don't mean to sound stupid but haven't owned a hifi in about 15 yrs... do you buy the speakers separate? Does a lot of the way it sounds not have a lot to do with the speakers you buy rather than the device itself?

[@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey]

Hi! Thank you for the feedback. The DM41mini system is indeed a Hi Fi seperate meaning you'll have to get a pair of speakers. The device itself can have an impact, with newer mini systems there tends to be updated hardware specifications offering better sound reproduction. The speakers do have a great impact on the sound of course, but there's a cut off point where no matter how expensive the speakers are it won't sound much better due to the mini system itself offering a higher output. Feel free to drop our sales team a call on; 02476 631 707 or drop by our live chat on hifix.co.uk and our sales team can further help you out if needed :) Have a great week.

[@CarzorStelatis]

There are two versions: * RCD-M41DAB - the one shown in this video. Lots of places seem to be selling this as "DM41DAB" to try and get the benefit of the What Hifi review. * DM41DAB - the one What Hifi reviewed, an RCD-M41DAB unit in a set with Denon SC-M41 speakers

[@dec07100]

Hi,will this work when connected to a soundbar via the analog in ?

[@munmunyee]

2 years late, but analog in means that some other source is feeding in to the receiver. Analog In does not output data, only receives. So either an external CD player, TV output, external DAC, or phono preamp will transmit data to the reciever, which in turn will output on the speaker posts. There is a mono output designed for subwoofers, and you can get a y-splitter to plug into a soundbar, but the sound coming out of the soundbar will be mono, not stereo.

I have a problem with this system: "crackling" sounds coming from the amplifier's case (both in CD and analog in modes). They appear once every dozen minutes and they're very annoying, since I can't fully focus on music. I complained to the store and they sent a new amplifier, but it has the same drawback. Did I damage those amplifiers by connecting them to my PC by a cable to the headphones input? I didn't hear this crackling on my D-M39, although it had its transformer burned after five months of connecting it to my computer the aforementioned way. Did any of you have the same problem and manage to eliminate it? Please, help - I'm afraid that this award-winning system will destroy my love for music!

[@extremeneo2600]

Hi John! The DM41 would be getting a good amount from your speakers knowing they're bookshelves :) Bluetooth does lose quality compared to a good solid cabled connection.

[@johnmcmanus5582]

Frank Harvey Hi Fi Excellence Thank you so much for the response. In which case what would be the best way to connect an iPod? I previously had the dm 39 which had a USB port. This was very convenient as it allowed me to use the denon remote and the display panel on the dm 39 displayed the track etc. Ultimately I just want the best sound possible using an iPod as source. I still have the dm 39 and wonder if in your opinion i might be better off back with that ?

[@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey]

@John Mcmanus As the DM41 dosen't have a USB port the only way i can think of connecting an iPod to it is via Bluetooth, but as you mentioned before it can lose sound quality. The DM 39 would probably be your better choice if you want to use USB. If you do want a change it may be worth looking at the Ceol N10 - www.hifix.co.uk/denon-rcdn10-network-mini-system If it's just an iPod you want to use we do have an iPod speaker system you can check out www.hifix.co.uk/pioneer-xwnac3-ipod-speaker-system-open-box-white at a great discounted price.

[@johnmcmanus5582]

Again, many thanks 👍 I’m currently using an old idock via rca cable into the analog input which is a big improvement on Bluetooth. Is there a vast difference between the dm 39 and dm 41? To read what hifi you would think it’s a massive difference! I’m looking at the ceol and it looks impressive, however that will have to wait a little while. Once again thank you for your help

[@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey]

There's improved technology within the unit but the Dm41 is heading into future wireless technologies.

[@tipp55]

I have my DM41 a couple of months now and to be honest I'm a little disappointed with it. The rotary volume control is quite stiff and when I press the mute button on the remote control, the unit makes a loud clicking sound like an internal relay switch is activated. Also, there's a 2 second pause when changing FM preset channels. The unit doesn't feel as 'premium' as I expected . I'm thinking of replacing it with another brand. I've had a few older and less pricy systems that felt nicer to use.

Hi Azaz z, My mistake i think thinking of a previous model sorry about that - you can connect your iPod/iPhone and play music through Bluetooth, Press Bluetooth on your controller to switch the input source to “Bluetooth”, when using for the first time, the unit will go into the pairing mode automatically and “Pairing” will appear on the display of the unit. Activate the Bluetooth settings on your mobile device. Select “Denon RCD-M41” from the Bluetooth device list on your mobile device. Enter “0000” when the password is requested on the screen of the Bluetooth device. This will allow you to them play your music on your DM-41, hope it helps. Sorry for the initial confusion.

@@diegocanale1124 More precisely: You can stream FLAC Files without Aptx Codec as well, but with reduced Quality (no 16 Bit with Bluetooth). And yes, the difference in Sound is very noticeable, especially with a System like the Denon M41. That's why Aptx Support is so important on good Audio Systems, when you want to stream your Music from a Tablet / Smartphone whatever. Notice: *Both* devices have to support Aptx in order to establish a lossless connection (not just the BT Chip in your System, but also the one in your Smartphone / Tablet). Most cheap Notebooks have no Aptx Support (and it's never mentioned in the specifications), because they use cheap Bluetooth Chips, and stream in lossy SBC Codec.

Playing FLAC files via USB should absolutely be THE DEFAULT way for playing music in this time. Who is buying a hifi device to play music from the phone?

[@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey]

A lot of people do now, we're in the streaming age. I do however always question why they removed the USB from it completely, i guess it was to bring the cost down of the unit and be more efficient for streaming. I do agree with you though, USB is the better method for a lot of people, including myself.

Hardly "wireless" when there is no wifi or bluetooth transmitter! It must cost pennies to put in bluetooth that transmits as well as receives. Wtf were they thinking!

I would steer everyone away from buying anything from Denon, everything I've owned by Denon has a short shelf life, gone wrong, broken, etc an amp, 2 cd players and have just switched on my tuner to find there is no light on the digital display rendering it utterly useless, if I was a cynic I'd call it built in obsolescence . Loads of other manufacturer's out there to choose from so go elsewhere. Sick and tired of shoddy goods out of China that go to land fill within nano seconds of human reality.

Denon isn't Chinese, nor is it made in China either. It's Japanese, and if you didn't know, Japan have high standards, that's why their steel manufacturing is considered one of the best in the world. I'm still using my 1996 Denon System, owned for 15 years, I've had it professionally serviced 3x since 2009, the power supply and a few ports on the back, tend to burn out every several years from continuously use, I've probably put thousands of playing time on it. Denon really is a good quality company made exclusively in Japan, I'm sorry you've experienced major issues with your modern Denon systems, but please understand, for everyone who's had an issue there's someone who hasn't.
