For almost 20 years now, Denon's M Series has been developed to meet the needs of modern day audio enthusiast that want a small size stereo system with the least compromises on sound and build quality.

"Simple & Straight" circuit design for sound purity and free of colouration

Denon's popular M series gives you high sound quality based on the "simple & straight" concept.
Circuitry is uncomplicated, signal paths are short and all adverse influences on sound quality have been minimised. The circuit design and the way the chassis is built ensure that the sound you hear is utterly faithful to the original performance.

Triple Noise Reduction Design - preserves signal purity

In an audio component where various circuit board and wire layouts can detrimentally influence each other, it is not possible to obtain satisfying specifications or sound simply by strengthening the power amp circuit.
Denon has therefore eliminated three sources of noise to ensure that the sound is as clean as possible.
Distortion from the input selector, electronic volume and power amp has been suppressed to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and produce an even smoother, dramatic sound.

Directplay for iPod and iPhone via USB

You can also listen to music files from your iPod by simply connecting it to the USB port with the USB cable that came with the iPod. Digital signals from the iPod are transmitted "as is" to the D-M40 and are processed by advanced audio circuitry to produce a clean, high-quality sound. Moreover, the D-M40's USB port is not only capable of playing MP3 and WMA files, but also lossless FLAC,WAV and AAC.

Enjoy Premium Sound in any room

The compact size of 210mm width and just 310mm depth (plus speakers) allows for an easy setup of the RCD-M40 on a bookshelf, in a bedroom or in the home office, it will easily blend into your daily life delivering impeccable performance at the same time.

WHAT HI-FI 5 Star Review

*****

"Denon has done it again - the D-M40DAB is a seriously impressive micro system for the money..."

Verdict

"It is difficult to be over complimentary about the D-M40 as a micro Hi-Fi system at this price; Denon has produced something even better than last year's Award winner."

Sound

"In short, it is impressive. We load the CD of Bill Wells and Aidan Moffat's album Everything's Getting Older and are struck by the improvement on the D-M39; our 2014 Award-winner in this bracket. There is more detail, most noticeably in the mid-range and bass, better organisation and more confidence and space in the treble. Moffat's vocals on Let's Stop Here feel more alive."
