Denon D-F109 DAB Mini HiFi System

Denon D-F109 DAB is high-sound-quality component based DAB Hi-Fi System with CD, Radio & Networking features which replaces the DF107 and takes performance to the next level - an important change is the addition of a network player for streaming music content from NAS drive, or on-demand sources. The D-F109 system comprises three components:-

• DRA-F109 stereo receiver
• DCD-F109 CD player
• DNP-F109 network player - this is a break through development in the midi system category which can stream using a wired connection or via the built in wifi antenna, as it is a fully featured network player, the following features are included:-
• built in apple Airplay, for streaming from Apple devices or iTunes
• internet radio offering thousands of free radio stations from all over the world
• dlna 1.5 offering network streaming from NAS drives, Windows devices and Android phones
• last.fm - a great way to find new music, based on music choices you already know and love
• Rear panel mounted USB port to play music from iOs devices, USB stick or USB drive
• For flawless music streaming, the unit features WMM (Wireles Multi Media) where priority is given to the music streaming on the home network, resulting in fewer audio dropouts
• File formats supported include WMA, MP3, AAC, ALAC (Apple Lossless), and two HD audio formats, WAV HD and FLAC HD at 24 bit with 192kHz sampling frequency
• Previous customers who purchased D-F107 systems can now add the DNP-F109 to add streaming music functionality to their system

Combine these 3 items with the optional Denon SC-F109 Bookshelf Speakers for a complete audio system. The audio system is available in either silver or black finish. The DF109DAB is aimed at the customer looking for great sound in a compact footprint, so that it can easily be positioned on a shelf or table/ desk, all with great sound and all the latest streaming technologies.

A very high quality sound is produced by the DF109 system, due to the following factors:-

• full digital signal chain - the new receiver has two digital inputs to connect the CD player and Network player - as both of these music sources are originally digital, no unnecessary signal conversions are needed. This has a special advantage when playing back high resolution files like FLAC HD, which can be heard in full resolution quality
• custom electronic components in the signal path - capacitors are critical components for the final sound quality of the product, the D-F109 system makes use of high quality capacitors in all three components.
• low noise design techniques - a shorter signal path is empoyed, so less noise is added to the audio signal
• physically rigid casework preventing distortion - noise caused by vibration is elimenated by using a double layered chassis bottom plate and alloy aluminium heatsink
• tailor made speakers SC-F109 which match perfectly with the aesthetic and sound design - this 2 way speaker design has a 12cm double layer woofer and a 2.5cm dome tweeter, born from an extensive European sound tuning process. The sophisticated construction helps reproduce music as naturally as possible

Each of the main units components is housed in a 230 mm x 300 mm compact size, offering improved sound quality, ease of use, and connectivity with portable players. Additionally this model offers iPod Direct connectivity via USB port.
New additions includes: AirPlay Support, Improved antenna for better WiFi reception, control via Denon Remote App for iOS & Andriod. The CD player can play normal CD's but also discs containing WMA or MP3 files.

The DRA-F109 receiver has the advantage of an optical digital input, allowing you to connect your TV or set top box to the receiver via an optical cable - as TV's get thinner over time, the sound quality of the internal speakers becomes poor, so the DRA-F109 allows a massive improvement in TV sound quality.

The receiver has FM and DAB/ DAB+ reception which enables many favorite radio stations to be enjoyed, whilst it also has an external analogue input to allow connection of any desired analogue source, such as a turntable (phono preamplifier required).
