Denon CEOL-N11 DAB Audio Receiver with CD Player, HiFi Amplifier for TV Sound, Bluetooth, 2x Optical Input, DAB+, Google Assistant / Siri / Alexa Compatible, Music Streaming, HEOS Multiroom - Black

Product Information

The Painted Ladies’ version of Vic Simms’ Poor Folks Happiness drove forth with a full bassline, vocals and guitars well defined. There are some rather swish touch buttons on the scratch-resistant top of the unit itself; these keys are back-illuminated and light up when you touch them, though not enough to help in a darkened room since the labels don’t illuminate, so you can’t tell what you should press.

Looking for options to use the CD function on the RCD-N11DAB and the multiroom set-up I currently have with the Home 150. There’s not the full open soundstaging of full-sized hi-fi separates with a higher-specification amplifier, but there are plenty of hi-fi attributes delivered here, and definite musicality.The OBERON woofer features a wood fibre cone with a blend of fine grain paper pulp, reinforced with wood fibres, which creates a stiff, light-weight and well-behaving structure. With the X1, Pro-Ject goes back to its roots and underlines the recipe for success that has been cultivated ever since and which started everything almost 30 years ago. To use Spotify, the HEOS app simply opens your normal Spotify app, and you select the Denon as the playback device.

QualiFi strongly advises EXTREME CAUTION regarding the purchase of any of our brands from an unauthorised source. Connect other audio components such as a turntable through the RCA input or upgrade your TV sound with the optical connection, for enhanced shows, movies and games. If the item is of a lower value we will issue you with a credit note for the difference which you can spend with us at a later date.Play a CD, tune in to the radio or stream wirelessly with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or through the HEOS multi-room app.

Thanks to the two optical inputs and the TV remote learning function you can enhance your audio for some blockbusting fun or for an immersive gaming experience. I have a large Victorian conservatory where I want to set up a streaming system like this Denon package, and may need speakers with more oomf. Mountain Grey' is the standard grille supplied with the light finishes (White and Light Oak), while 'Shadow Black' is standard on the dark finishes (Black Ash and Dark Walnut). Download the HEOS app to your phone connect to the internet,and away you go it really is that easy once you have connected your speakers. Bluetooth here lacks any codec above the base-level SBC, not even AAC, so might be considered a weakness, except that there’s nearly always a workaround via HEOS to play from the same source at a higher quality.We couldn’t, among the various HEOS menus, find any way to change what the display shows when the unit is playing, though you can choose whether and how it shows the time when it’s off.

Indeed it is our favourite radio platform, the only one to offer our local community radio station along with quite a few others – 100,000 stations, says TuneIn, along with 5. We were pleased to find that this works for free Spotify as well as subscriptions, which isn’t always the case with other streaming platforms. The rounded edges and rustic fabric of these new DALI front grilles add a lighter and more contemporary visual look to the OBERON series. Or, group multiple HEOS compatible devices and speakers to fill the house with the same song , using your home network. But this is mini-system sound quality, and a significant uptick in sound quality will be possible if you're prepared to ditch DAB and the CD player.

The new rounded front grille adds a lighter and more contemporary visual look to the speaker series. For some, sparse tracks with well isolated notes and vocals it can sound lovely, but it becomes a bit incoherent where there's more going on. There are a good many other settings, some of them available only by crouching next to your CEOL and using the full-sized physical remote or front panel buttons to investigate. There’s also a tray-loading CD player, positioned above the main display, on a front fascia which, despite the multitudinous abilities within, is a veritable study in minimalism, just a power button on the left and a second press button on the right, plus a minijack headphone output (we’d prefer full-size, really) and a USB-A slot front left.
