I've got one, it lacks the big hifi sound you get with separates but I love it, it's brilliant.
Get a subwoofer
I aloso got this product yesterday. I'm so satisfied. Thank you for your kind explanation. form SOUTH KOREA.
Just bought a week ago second hand OLD model ,DM38DAB with original denon speakers The unit is like new and I am really impressed by the sound quality. For me Bluetooth is not a deal breaker as the unit has two aux input , so very easy to connect external Bluetooth device.
Great work, Tom. 😊
Great review Tom.
I have bought one and am totally thrilled with it.
Glad you like your Hi-Fi as much as we do Roz! :)
I also bought one and although I am pleased with it, I noticed that the sound from a CD is actually worse than from Bluetooth. It seems lifeless and flat in comparison. Have you also noticed that?
Eliskoopa the cd sounds significantly better than Bluetooth! The removal of USB is a massive fail on an otherwise great piece of kit
hi is there a way to change the bass and treble on the unit itself or do you have to go through menus on the remote control ?
Pioneer dm 40 Bluetooth I might buy this to pair with my speakers lovely heard great reviews
It would be a great choice Lloyd!
What speaker cables were you using for the demo?
Does this receiver have a low pass filter for the main speakers when connecting a sub? Or do the speakers always get full range frequency?
Hi .I see in specs that this unit has a lot of harmonic distortion (THD =10%), but at the end.. hows the sound? do you notice any hiss with this kind of unit ?
A great improvement over the DM38.
I was able to connect:
1) Panasonic TV via Optical (1)
2) XBox via Optical (2)
3) Panasonic BD player via RCA, using a cheap DCA converter. Optical (Out) on BD player to DCA, and 3.5mm to RCA cable from DCA to Denon.
4) Smartphone using BT.
Using Dali Zensor 1s the sound was far superior than the speakers on the TV.
Hi, is the bluetooth only for mobile devices sending sound to it? Or is it also for DM41 sending sound to wireless headphones?
Does it turn automatically on when the TV is turned on? I mean Auto Power Link like on Samsung devices. Thak you
This one if definately more superior to the Panasonic SC-PM250. Even though it doesn't have a USB
this one does have an auxilery input so it can be used with either a record player or a cassette deck.
If my current system ever fails and I decided to get another micro/mini system I would go for a
Denon as Denon are really good but in my case I would most likely go for hi fi seperates.
I have a denon 40 paid with KEF Q350 sounds amazing.
Good choice Marc!
Nice system! I used to have a DM39 then I upgraded to the CEOL N9 for wireless capability and high resolution flac playback.
Great choice, I personally loved the fact the N9 has high resolution flac playback :)
@Quincy Breed USB was a big downgrade, but Denon was looking forward and how big streaming were bringing the cost of the unit down while keeping the features most people use... BUT i agree that removing the USB was a mistake.
Frank Harvey Hi Fi Excellence hi in you’re opinion is the denon dm41 as good as the denon pma 60 .
Is the sound better than the Teac CR-H500NT mini receiver ???
Hi
Now you have a couple of years supporting these what is the cause of the failure that brings up a P on the display and a red dot?
Does the bluetooth go both ways?. Ie. to send the signal to a UE boom bluetooth speaker.
When theyre new boxed , do they have the sticker under the cd tray ?
I love my Denon DM40, and was quite excited to hear that a new model was coming out. Sadly, I am not into bluetooth, and there is no USB on the new model. So, I guess it's no change for me.
The DM40 is still a great piece of Hi Fi!
Hello
What should I do if the product Denon bluetooth does not pair with the given source, more precisely, it plays the given music with a delay (youtube) and the sound is delayed for a few seconds and the sound is interrupted
is there trebble and bass adjustment on this system?
Are you able to run this through to another amplifier?
The Bluetooth doesn't recognise my new Samsung tablet or new moto smartphone, but it does recognise my old Huawei tablet. Disappointing for streaming my UA-cam music? I didn't know there are different Bluetooth formats when I bought it.
Thanks for the review. I don't mean to sound stupid but haven't owned a hifi in about 15 yrs... do you buy the speakers separate? Does a lot of the way it sounds not have a lot to do with the speakers you buy rather than the device itself?
Hi! Thank you for the feedback. The DM41mini system is indeed a Hi Fi seperate meaning you'll have to get a pair of speakers. The device itself can have an impact, with newer mini systems there tends to be updated hardware specifications offering better sound reproduction.
The speakers do have a great impact on the sound of course, but there's a cut off point where no matter how expensive the speakers are it won't sound much better due to the mini system itself offering a higher output. Feel free to drop our sales team a call on; 02476 631 707 or drop by our live chat on hifix.co.uk and our sales team can further help you out if needed :)
Have a great week.
There are two versions:
* RCD-M41DAB - the one shown in this video. Lots of places seem to be selling this as "DM41DAB" to try and get the benefit of the What Hifi review.
* DM41DAB - the one What Hifi reviewed, an RCD-M41DAB unit in a set with Denon SC-M41 speakers
Try hooking it up with Q Acoustics 3020 speakers, which are available for £149.00 per pair. You can thank me later.
I have it a few weeks ago, everything perfect, clean and crisp sound, without distortion, but compared to my previous Onkyo my complaint or what I have noticed "strange" is that after a while of being working, and especially at a certain volume I notice that it is It heats up the chassis, especially the right side, I have modular hifi amplifiers and it doesn't get as hot as a hifi rack amp but I don't remember the previous Onkyo getting that hot.
My question is: Is it normal? Can the temperature it reaches affect the discs? I deduce that if the chassis is hot it is to cool the interior as much as possible?
Yes is normal its ho is it is because there is a lot of eletronics on the inside

Annoyed that the USB port has gone. And no FLAC support either???
I have a desktop PC - which has bluetooth - and it would be a few feet away from the Denon (if I bought one). Would I be able to play my USB sticks on my PC and have them play via Bluetooth through the Denon? Many thanks.
Speakers Denon SC-M41 + Denon DRA-800H receiver. Can You tell how it sounds?
I used to have the dm39. Sounded good but somewhat limited functionality (no wireless).
Hi there mate. Tks for the video! I'm not an old man but I am more of an engines guy and less the electronics type. So please bear with me and please help me out in two questions (I want to buy this model and I cant figure it out from denons website):
1) there is not an usb port but can I connect through cable an mp3 player?
2) will the bluetooth function connect with a wireless headset?
Many thanks.
A bit late response but,
1. Yes, you can plug a 3.5 mm to RCA cable from the player to the Denon input.
2. No, the bluetooth function only receives signal, it does not send signal.
Just bought this and very happy with it except for one thing. I can’t find a particular radio station after tuning DAB. Is there a way to manually tune DAB? I’ve retuned it a few times and it has picked up 82 channels but not the channel I want to listen to. Cheers.
Your WiFi router is probably interfering with the signal. DAB isn't that great to be honest.
Sound test over UA-cam? Do you think it's Hi Fi Excellence?
I'm looking for a hifi system that has speakers with lost of bass and also plays sound

Did I hear a relay click on startup as well?? 😯
hi, it's a shame that it cannot send the audio to Bluetooth speakers or Headsets !! How can they forgot to do this ??!!
Are the loudspeakers kef Q150 or Q350? The sound is amazing.
They were indeed the KEF Q150 Bookshelf Speaker! I agree, they do sound fantastic. :)
What is the best speaker.for DM41?
@@sunyu777 Boston Acoustics A26
Is the subwoofer out for an active sub with satellites? Can it be used in conjunction with the normal speaker posts or is it one or the other?
Instead of medium-sized or floorstanding speakers you can use an active subwoofer with small satellite speakers using the output, so effectively yes it is to replace the normal speakers. If you need any further help drop us a call on 02476 631 707, or just leave us another comment. 🙂
@@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey I have medium sized speakers but I also have a 2.1 computer system with a large active sub that I'd like to keep using. So you confirm that I can't use them simultaneously with this unit?
Anyone know if the new Denon D-T1 is a replacement over this or just a lower priced model in the Denon line up?
I'm thinking to purchse a new system but not sure if I should buy D-M41 or D-T1.
It is certainly derived from the D-M41and features a lot of what the DM41 does www.denon.co.uk/uk/product/compactsystem/bluetoothsystem/dt1
However, both mini systems would be fantastic.
Please make video with Ceol N10 or 11 thanks😜😁✌️
Ilike Denon dm39 , with USB.
This is only being sold online in the US;and the price is $499.99 plus tax and shipping? Why aren’t these items being stocked in the floor of our department stores?
We have them stocked in our store in the UK in our store and across numerous other retailers in the UK.
What's the max volume and is it a loud hifi? I want to use it for movies and music.
It's great for Movies and Music, we use one for demos sometimes paired with Kef and Q Acoustic speakers.
@@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey what is the max volume?
Какую акустику рекомендуете к этой системе?
The KEF LX 50's would suit this system nicely, but it really depends what sound you're going for and personal preferences on sound.
does it have tone controls for bass and treble?
Yes, it has
I have my DM41 a couple of months now and to be honest I'm a little disappointed with it. The rotary volume control is quite stiff and when I press the mute button on the remote control, the unit makes a loud clicking sound like an internal relay switch is activated. Also, there's a 2 second pause when changing FM preset channels. The unit doesn't feel as 'premium' as I expected . I'm thinking of replacing it with another brand. I've had a few older and less pricy systems that felt nicer to use.
Did it sound good on radio and cds?
I personally haven't had a chance to try radio, but CD's sounded great. If you drop our sales team a call on 02476 631 707 they can offer further a insight on the Dm41! :)
Can you use it with Bluetooth speakers?
The Dm41 does have wireless connectivity, so they should work with the device. Call Us On: 02476 631 707 and our sales team can confirm this. :)
Which song is being played in this video? Song and the singer name please.
Hi Chandradeep Kwatra,
The song name is "All The Roadrunning" by Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris. :)
a real nice good looking little system....but please make this rack mount
Hi Dharama! We have a range of Hi fi Racks available to purchase on our websuite - www.hifix.co.uk/manufacturer/hi-fi-racks
Audio Andy Denon has rack mounts out there? Like the DN-3500/Z or the Denon DN-500BDMKII..you should check it out;and let me know how good they are?
The USB is gone ... will stay with the DM40.
The DM40 is a great system, it is a shame the DM41 didn't include a USB option for input.
Agree. Really a mistake getting rid of USB....would've been a perfect system with it.
Sorry for sidetracking, as DM41 is the an update to DM40, anyone know if DM-T1 is the update to DM41? Or just entire different line?
It seems to me that DM-T1 is different. A shrinked down version, in terms of power and price.
Travis Smith No one use’s USB anymore,, Not missing that... Everything is done through the air.. Bluetooth is still going great Nice unit sounds mind blowing with Bose speakers
Hi,great video,i am owner of 39 model,i have dab antenna but i cant get dab radio,maybe you know how fix this issue? Thanks
Hi Adrian, that is strange indeed. We have something you can try that has worked with other customers. Disconnect the Denon from power, wait roughly 30 seconds, then plug it back in, while simultaneously pressing "
Any luck with this, Adrian?
@@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey omg its working,why i never seen your message before lol thanks alot guys😁
This was 2019 ? What’s out now in 2021 I’m just about to buy this unit
The Denon Dm41 is still the most up to date model for the DM range :)
CD after 1 year not working, used 10 times.
I have no sound d when on radio but sound when cd ?
I alreafy took dennon to the dump...
Дэнон аудио чампион💪💥.
So this model doesn't support FLAC?
My phone supports FLAC, can't I play those files using Bluetooth?
Do you mean LDAC? No this system doesn't support LDAC or aptX
I mean FLAC files
@@1985cactus Play flac file on a pc and use optical in to get the quality...
@@garyblake9665 Yeah, wouldn't it be the most logical things that when you buy a device like this you don't expect that you will need a computer of phone too to be able to play the music?
I have a problem with this system: "crackling" sounds coming from the amplifier's case (both in CD and analog in modes). They appear once every dozen minutes and they're very annoying, since I can't fully focus on music. I complained to the store and they sent a new amplifier, but it has the same drawback.
Did I damage those amplifiers by connecting them to my PC by a cable to the headphones input? I didn't hear this crackling on my D-M39, although it had its transformer burned after five months of connecting it to my computer the aforementioned way.
Did any of you have the same problem and manage to eliminate it? Please, help - I'm afraid that this award-winning system will destroy my love for music!
I'm a little confused. are you playing music from your PC to the dm41 ? what cable are you using are you going from the 3.5mm headphone socket of your PC to the analog input of the dm41? what are the ohms rating of your speakers?
@@extremeneo2600 Yes, I've been connecting the PC's 3.5 mm headphone socket to the analog input of the D-M41 to play music. The speakers' impedance is 6 ohms.
USB gone : NO BUY : why, just why? bluetooth cannot stream hi-fi, I was expecting Flac 96/24 on the new model - what a letdown!
VonSeux Can't FLAC files be played through Bluetooth?
only APTX Bluetooth can stream loseless flac...the standard bluetooth is adp and it's lossy..still decent for spotify
@@diegocanale1124
More precisely: You can stream FLAC Files without Aptx Codec as well, but with reduced Quality (no 16 Bit with Bluetooth). And yes, the difference in Sound is very noticeable, especially with a System like the Denon M41. That's why Aptx Support is so important on good Audio Systems, when you want to stream your Music from a Tablet / Smartphone whatever. Notice: *Both* devices have to support Aptx in order to establish a lossless connection (not just the BT Chip in your System, but also the one in your Smartphone / Tablet). Most cheap Notebooks have no Aptx Support (and it's never mentioned in the specifications), because they use cheap Bluetooth Chips, and stream in lossy SBC Codec.
Ya I like the USB stick because it saves phone storage
@@diegocanale1124 can't that be changed in developer options on Android
Am I right in thinking the DM40 comes with speakers and the DM41 doesn't?
Wrong; DM41 comes with SC-M41 speakers.
Currently £199 at Richer Sounds, with a 2 year guarantee, which can be extended for a reasonable fee I believe.
Richer sounds are usually expensive, and everything they sell is always £20-£50 more than what you can find elsewhere.
Does this company sell a specific Bass subwoofer for this system?
Hi reddaB, i don't believe Denon do have a sub specifically for the DM41. We have selected some speakers that perform well with the DM41 which can be found here on our website - www.hifix.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?cat=0&q=dm41
Hope it helps :)
Frank Harvey Hi Fi Excellence Thanks for your reply! Researching a new system for mum. Her Technics has died of old age :(
No worries! We are very happy to help out, our sales team are very knowledgeable and can further assist you, drop us a call on 02476 631 707 and we can try help out further and possibly recommend other alternatives :)
Also if you're anywhere near Coventry you can come visit our showroom with your Mum and have a Demo of a few systems/speakers to see which ones she likes the most, again just drop us a call if you'd like to book a demo.
@@reddaB it's hard to beat those old systems I got a Philips HiFi unit given to me and I love the sound it's way better than any new cheap HiFi
I am planning to pair it with mission lx-2 speakers? Do you think it's a good match?
Hi! Yes Denon DM41 DAB will be a perfect match for lx-2 speakers :)
It sounds fine, but one thing that puzzles and, frankly, worries me, is that my music sounds significantly better when streamed via Bluetooth than an actual CD. CDs sound flat and lifeless in comparison. How is that possible?
Hi,will this work when connected to a soundbar via the analog in ?
2 years late, but analog in means that some other source is feeding in to the receiver. Analog In does not output data, only receives. So either an external CD player, TV output, external DAC, or phono preamp will transmit data to the reciever, which in turn will output on the speaker posts. There is a mono output designed for subwoofers, and you can get a y-splitter to plug into a soundbar, but the sound coming out of the soundbar will be mono, not stereo.
Ramsey Bolton!!!!
Yeah Darko I opted for the DM40 because it has front panel USB and supports FLAC!!! The DM41 supports neither. Bluetooth sucks.
I guess Denon are edging more towards the future, but it is a shame for them to remove the USB and FLAC playback as you get much better sound.
Can't you play FLAC through Bluetooth?
The cd sounds fantastic but ! Bluetooth loses much quality of sound. I’m currently using monitor audio bronze 2 speakers. Is the dm41 getting the best out of them ?
Hi John! The DM41 would be getting a good amount from your speakers knowing they're bookshelves :) Bluetooth does lose quality compared to a good solid cabled connection.
Frank Harvey Hi Fi Excellence
Thank you so much for the response. In which case what would be the best way to connect an iPod? I previously had the dm 39 which had a USB port. This was very convenient as it allowed me to use the denon remote and the display panel on the dm 39 displayed the track etc. Ultimately I just want the best sound possible using an iPod as source. I still have the dm 39 and wonder if in your opinion i might be better off back with that ?
@John Mcmanus As the DM41 dosen't have a USB port the only way i can think of connecting an iPod to it is via Bluetooth, but as you mentioned before it can lose sound quality. The DM 39 would probably be your better choice if you want to use USB. If you do want a change it may be worth looking at the Ceol N10 - www.hifix.co.uk/denon-rcdn10-network-mini-system
If it's just an iPod you want to use we do have an iPod speaker system you can check out www.hifix.co.uk/pioneer-xwnac3-ipod-speaker-system-open-box-white at a great discounted price.
Again, many thanks 👍 I’m currently using an old idock via rca cable into the analog input which is a big improvement on Bluetooth. Is there a vast difference between the dm 39 and dm 41? To read what hifi you would think it’s a massive difference! I’m looking at the ceol and it looks impressive, however that will have to wait a little while. Once again thank you for your help
There's improved technology within the unit but the Dm41 is heading into future wireless technologies.
Teach me : DENON DM41DAB or MARANTZ MCR 612 ? I intend to buy one.
They're both under the same distributor so the tech inside is very similar, features however can differ on each unit and Marantz is know for a more premium feel.
@@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey Thanks . I intend to connect a soundbar but I see that no one has digital audio out put. I need a network cd player with this facility.
dm-41 o df-109 ??
The DM-41 is a fantastic system, but it comes down to personal preferance at the end of the day.
Good review. Put your notes by the camera then it doesn't look so obvious 😉
Thank you Jesus Is Lord! We appreciate the feedback and will work on it in future videos!
Jes
dab any logo on display?
No USB connector
stupid question, i can plug my iPod into this somehow right?
Hi Azaz z, Yes the front USB port will allow you to connect your I-Pod, i'm not sure if there's any limits on the generation of I-pod but most should work :)
many thanks
surely i can connect an rca cable with a mini jack no?
hold on usb? i can't see a connection
Hi Azaz z, My mistake i think thinking of a previous model sorry about that - you can connect your iPod/iPhone and play music through Bluetooth,
Press Bluetooth on your controller to switch the input source to “Bluetooth”, when using for the first time, the unit will go into the pairing mode automatically and “Pairing” will appear on the display of the unit.
Activate the Bluetooth settings on your mobile device.
Select “Denon RCD-M41” from the Bluetooth device list on your mobile device. Enter “0000” when the password is requested on the screen of the Bluetooth device.
This will allow you to them play your music on your DM-41, hope it helps. Sorry for the initial confusion.
No USB so it’s a no go for me
What a shame it lacks an USB port.
Can u use UA-cam with Bluetooth to listen to music ? If yes I'm getting this bad boy 😁
Listening to this video from my DM39 (2 models earlier than the DM41 which needed a seperate BT adapter to aux). Of course you can, just use youtube on your smartphone, connected with BT to your DM41 or use youtube on your smart TV, connected with BT or an optical cable to your DM41
Does it come with 2 speakers?
Just me or do those power outlets look a little sketchy ? lol
Ughh Bluetooth for an audio quality demo ? Does it play SACD's ?
It will only play 2-channel SACD which isn't the best for complete set-ups, the Bluetooth is great though. I think Denon made the system with this day and age in mind where mobile phones and tablets dominate the industy.
I understand that Blueooth isn't the best for an audio quality demo though, but it does still sound great :)
Cd player has not worked for 3 years and DAB keeps dropping out so unimpressed.
Denonstration
No USB Socket 😣 Bad move 🤐
Strange it didn't have one, maybe on their next model it'll return.
Nice hifi until the laser packs up out of warranty.....
what kind of accent is this?
Hi Adam! I believe Tom's accent descends from Birmingham!
Midlands i.e Birmingham UK or area.
@@ianedlin40329 Brits wonder about the accent, non-Brits about the language ...
You sound like Rodney Trotter from Only Fools and Horses.
No USB? Are you kidding us? How should I play music? From the phone that is ringing all the time. From the computer with it's fans? From CDs? Honestly I hated CDs, vinyl and tapes from forever. Playing FLAC files via USB should absolutely be THE DEFAULT way for playing music in this time. Who is buying a hifi device to play music from the phone?
A lot of people do now, we're in the streaming age. I do however always question why they removed the USB from it completely, i guess it was to bring the cost down of the unit and be more efficient for streaming. I do agree with you though, USB is the better method for a lot of people, including myself.

I would steer everyone away from buying anything from Denon, everything I've owned by Denon has a short shelf life, gone wrong, broken, etc an amp, 2 cd players and have just switched on my tuner to find there is no light on the digital display rendering it utterly useless, if I was a cynic I'd call it built in obsolescence . Loads of other manufacturer's out there to choose from so go elsewhere. Sick and tired of shoddy goods out of China that go to land fill within nano seconds of human reality.
I have a denon tuner..
.ma y years ex service
@@user-kt8wy3ye4j Is always an exception to the rule, if your happy, fine.
Denon isn't Chinese, nor is it made in China either. It's Japanese, and if you didn't know, Japan have high standards, that's why their steel manufacturing is considered one of the best in the world.
I'm still using my 1996 Denon System, owned for 15 years, I've had it professionally serviced 3x since 2009, the power supply and a few ports on the back, tend to burn out every several years from continuously use, I've probably put thousands of playing time on it.
Denon really is a good quality company made exclusively in Japan, I'm sorry you've experienced major issues with your modern Denon systems, but please understand, for everyone who's had an issue there's someone who hasn't.
Hardly "wireless" when there is no wifi or bluetooth transmitter! It must cost pennies to put in bluetooth that transmits as well as receives. Wtf were they thinking!
This is awful, what's the point if you can't plug in your MP3 player??
WTF those power wires walking on the wall, the electrical outlets with that white color smashing on the wall cream color, and creaks on the wall,
british are construction butchers, come into the 21st century when you build houses , british
that looks so outrageous
back to the subject now
my YAMMY beats this DENON on every aspect starting with usb port , ending with flac 24/192kb sound and yamaha speakers coming in the package
Well it is built to 16th Century standards...
