Densen announces top-of-the-range B-440 CD player

Densen claims to have evaluated audio design going as far back as the '40s in order to take a fresh approach for the B-440, with low distortion, low noise and a fast audio stage the end results.

All digital stages, analogue stages and microprocessors have individual power supplies, while elsewhere there are gold-plated RCA connections, custom-made capacitors and Densen's own control software.

There are standard analogue outputs, plus BNC and Densen's own 'Digital Denlink' connection, which allows you to upgrade to a separate DAC and Transport.

Available in either an 'albino' – we presume that's just a curious way of saying 'white' – or black finish, the Densen B-440 will sell for £2500, and comes with Densen's lifetime warranty.
