Design and processing:
The front panel made of aluminum provides high of very high quality, as opposed to the 710 AE Denon speed adjustment is (pitch control) no longer exists. Overall, the front panel is held sher minimalistic, most functions can be controlled via the remote control.
Sound:
The CD player is at home connected with me on two ADAM Artist 5, this music was only until now played through the computer. But it is simply worlds apart this CD player and otherwise via USB-fired pit. Such a brilliant sound I've rarely seen, one perceives instrument passages that you previously did not even know, and the stereo resolution is gigantic. Here I would like to not dwell too long, since everyone has a different taste, but I never expected such an increase incredible!
Plus points:
- Very good sound
- Very low reading time
- Extremely low drive, barely perceptible noise
- Very good stereo imaging
- Headphone output on this high-impedance headphones can also be connected
- Also easily scratched CD's are still read
- Dimmable two-line display ...
Bad points:
- ... On this will not be displayed once the track during CD playback
- The CD starts still automatically when you turn the CD player
- The USB connection can not FLAC files can be played MP3 files work nevertheless. (A real shame especially if you want to put together a playlist and it can "only" play in mp3 quality)
- Poor instruction book and in CD format available
Neutral:
- The new remote control is not only intended for the CD player but also for the associated amplifier and network player, if you have only one device, you would need really only 1/3 of the remote control, but this is very nicely designed, looks good and in the purchase of other equipment you get two more remotes. If a times in the crack of the sofa "disappear", or again not to be found, one has two more.
- AL 32 Processing: Here I know myself unfortunately not
Conclusion:
Overall, the price-performance ratio is satisfactory, I would have wished that Denon had the negatives that already existed at the older model eliminated. If enough money, you should buy two CD players, the Denon 710 and the Denon 720, try both and then decide for yourself if the extra cost of 100 euros is justified. Probably the people thought behind Denon: "How can we 100 euros more for the current model (Denon 710) require to be able to even fancier Weighing drive which we have already anyway ...?" Smarter employees: "We simply build again the same model with a different front panel and new remote that we can naturally produce even more favorable, apply the new model with AL 32 Processing what the layman anyway do not understand and you're done. " Completed maximizing profits and saving the money for improvements.
Therefore, 3.5 stars.
