Hi guys, I'm thinking about buying one of these mainly for the FM & internet radio features so can anyone who has one advise the following.
1) How decent is the FM/AM section?
I listen to a lot of FM radio and for reference I have had some very decent FM stereo tuners, I recently had an Audiolab 8000T which sounded amazing but unfortunately it was faulty, I'm currently using an A&R Cambridge T21 tuner which is pretty good but I'm getting fed up with old tuners so would prefer to go 'modern' or new if you like.
2) Can you connect the RCAs from the Deno to an integrated amp (Rega Brio-R) and listen to the digital output/internet radio from the player via the RCAs or do you have to connect the digital output from the Denon player to a standalone/outboard Dac then from that Dac into the RCA (analogue) inputs of the Rega amp?
I'm not too fussed about all of the problems regarding wireless streaming cause I'll be connected the Denon to my router via a lan cable but of course I will likely want to stream music from my iphone 5s & laptop at some point, btw can you send radio contect from the iphone (JazzFM) to the Denon or is that station already on the the Denon via the internet radio stuff?
Also anyone know of something similar to this Denon player that has most of the features of the Denon but is a bit more stable/up to date?
Thanks
Tony
