Reviews of the Denon S-52

  • 6.7

    CNET Review

    April 7, 2008

    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.
