012 Denon DNP 730AE networked audio player review

Why do audio streamers always come in odd housings? The Denon DNP-730AE looks just like what it is: an audio component. Time to do a review. (English and Dutch subtitels - Nederlands ondertiteld)

[@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel]

You find the players I have reviewed here: thehbproject.com/en/reviews/Sources/Network%20player/. I can't give personal advise, sorry.

[@rolandpater2245]

It would have been nice if you had shown how the device works, how you set it up, and how you browse/play files from the dlna server.

[@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel]

I know. That is what I do nowadays. This review is already a few years old. Sorry.

[@rolandpater2245]

@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel Thanks for your comment. I'll check your channel for other reviews.

can i use a app on adroid to control device like onkyo has onkyo app?

[@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel]

I suppose so, but I know nothing about Android.

[@MrScorpions2006]

Will it be possible to play flac files through its USB ?

[@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel]

No the USB is only for hard disks.

[@pmeuree]

Yes it's possible, I did it

[@hassanminhas7432]

Can it be used as a pre amplifier?

[@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel]

It has a volume control but no inputs. So you can connect it to a power amp or active speakers but not select other sources than the streaming ones.

[@MrLercan2000]

hı can ı use it with Android devices

[@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel]

+Levent ercan Absolutely.

[@PaulGraham1977]

Will this play FLAC over network?

[@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel]

It can playback FLAC stored on a PC or NAS in your network.

[@fredrit323]

pointless if you have a cd player ( denon dcd 720 ae ) like I do , you can connect your IPhone trough the usb port , stream music online with the same quality , play files from mp3 players , usb sticks etc. and play any cd you like...

[@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel]

+fred rit Everything is pointless if you don't need it for you have another solution.

[@sportodevy833]

With DCD 720AE you cannot play flacs, you cannot play 24 bit files, you cannot play from NAS, you cannot play Tidal, Spotify (without mobile phone) etc.
