Hi-fi specialist Denon has been jumping head first into the consumer digital audio game in recent months and its latest offering sets out to be the radio for all occasions.

The S-52DAB Networked Audio System Table Radio features DAB/FM radio, a CD player, concealed iPod dock and, to top it all off, in-built Wi-Fi to stream over 7,000 Internet-based radio stations or music from your PC/laptop to the radio. Phew!

The radio can decode the usual MP3 and WMA formats, but also AAC, WAV and FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec). You can also attach USB sticks or storage devices and yes, there is, an alarm. The audio quality should be no slouch either thanks to four internal, tuned speakers with long-throw drive units and bass radiators.

Of course, at £500 the radio that can do it all and do it well doesn’t come cheap, but you get what you pay for.-Martin Lynch
