"BEST Hi-Fi DAB/FM tuner
Portable radios are fine and dandy, but if you've got a traditional hi-fi system, you'll want a dedicated DAB separates unit to complete the package. In terms of looks, the TU-1800DAB certainly fits the bill. It's a slender and stylish DAB/FM/AM design, its solidly built fascia blessed with an attractive brushed-aluminium finish and brightly lit dot matrix display. Hit the Autotune button and the Denon locks onto all available stations in your area - you can then take advantage of the staggering 200 presets on offer (100 DAB / 100 FM/AM). And, once up and running, it's immediately apparent you're listening to something really special. Tunes from stations such as Radio 1 and Classic FM are delivered with fantastic fluidity, rhythm-driven drive and expressive dynamics. Voices on Radio4 sound clear, natural and refined.The TU-1800DAB marks a highly successful transition for Denon from its high-quality analogue tuners to the realm of digital radio. A worthy Award-winner.
Verdict Denon's superb track record of tuners continues with the slick TU-1800DAB. A quality unit."
On the digital side there is a high quality D/A converter that features 192kHz/24bit DACs. Furthermore a choice of optical or coaxial digital outputs gives the Denon TU1800DAB the ability to record digitally, using any digital recorder.
For radio junkies Denon have provided no fewer than 200 presets - 100 for DAB and 100 for AM/FM. A dimmable display makes the Denon TU1800 suitable for all lighting environments, whilst a full remote control makes operating the TU1800 a simple and restful experience. If you like radio then you'll love the Denon TU1800!
