Product Description
The Denon DM38DAB takes everything which made the DM37DAB an award winner and makes it even better. Now featuring DAB+ as well as DAB, FM and AM radio reception it packs a quality CD player, MP3 and WMA playback from CD or USB devices and a 2 x 30 watt amplifier into its compact shell. Direct digital play from USB connected iPods means you use the DM38's digital-analogue converters for clearer, higher quality sound.

An excellent all in one Hi-Fi.
Pros,
Great sound!
Looks good.
DAB works very well
USB supports ipod and iphone so no need to buy the dock. Also you can have it on two different modes, the first mode lets you use your mp3 player to select the tracks. The second, is that it lets you view all the tracks on the screen of the hi fi and lets you select the one you want.
Cons,
Although it has addressed some issues it still has a few,
Firstly, the overbearing bass. One tip put the speakers far apart.
Secondly, the FM radio receiver is weak. I cant pick up some of the main stations.
And lastly, the voloume control. Sometimes 11 is to quiet and 12 is a bit too loud. However Denon has improved it from the DM37 volome control.
All in all, this is one great little Hi-Fi. It has improved over the DM37 which won the what Hi-Fi award, however it does has a few cons. Would defo advise people to buy this.

Reading the reviews I was worried about DAB reception; I had read somewhere that the Ariel's supplied with the product were not good enough. One report I read commented that DAB could not be received. Accordingly, in preparation, I ordered a better DAB Aerial from Amazon. However although the product was delivered a few days ago this Aerial has not yet been delivered. As it turns out I do not need it at all. Setting up the Denon DM38 today, the Aerials supplied worked perfectly. I just plugged in the Aerials, as indicated in the user manual, not even bothering to stretch them out or unwind them. Turning the unit on, without any trouble at all, the unit immediately located 60 DAB channels. Maybe I live in a high DAB signal area. Checking everything out; it all worked superbly. The unit looks good, taking up only half the space of my old SONY radio tuner. Sound is brilliant; Disks play correctly; Auxiliary 1, (the feed from my television set),performs very well. Can't fault it. At the price it's a damned good buy. I am well satisfied and very pleased.

The DM38 has received very good reviews in the hi-fi press and elsewhere. Everything they've said about it is true - it's excellent. I wanted to add DAB to my system and initially looked at separate DAB/FM/AM tuners. I hadn't considered all-in-one systems before and certainly not micro size. Having found the reviews, the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. So I replaced my elderly but capable Hitachi FM/AM tuner, and my old Pioneer CD deck and Sherwood amp (both very good). I've retained my Pioneer turntable and 40 year old (yes, 40) Wharfedale Denton speakers, and now have a very acceptable, but obviously not high-end, system. (Incidentally, the speakers are on a par with or better than many current ones in packaged systems.) It may lack a few features of high-end separates, but it's very user friendly with big bonuses of USB input for MP3s and single remote. Tuner sensitivity is excellent, even with the indoor DAB wire aerial supplied, but I'm going to add an external one. I've been pleasantly surprised how good even low bit-rate DAB stations sound. On a green note, standby power is less than 0.3W; that's even less than some gadgets, which switch off mains to a cluster of devices, consume themselves while monitoring for operation of remotes. All in all, a very good purchase that I would thoroughly recommend.

Very good product, but not excellent.
A month ago I bought the Denon and my opinion is very favorable but not perfect. It has a very good finish and many features. Even I have not tried all but a few. Read more
