Reviews of the Denon S-52
-
CNET Review
The Good: Fully featured tabletop radio with AM/FM/HD radio, iPod dock, USB port, XM satellite radio compatibility, network/Internet audio playback (including Rhapsody), and CD player; clock with dual alarms.
The Bad: Extraordinarily expensive; mediocre sound quality; tedious character input; no iPod video output.
The Bottom Line: While the Denon S-52 is chock-full of impressive features, its subpar sound quality makes it hard to justify the steep asking price.
Manufacturer: Denon Electronics Ltd.
Part number: S-52
