The players are based on extruded aluminium casings that minimize vibration and magnetic distortion, on non-feedback Class A amplification stages, discrete analogue stages, on advanced and jitter-free clock circuitry, and custom-made CD transports with is optimized for perfect data transfer.
All Densen CD-players B-410 (discontinued), B420, B440 and B475 (along with their plus and XS siblings) can be updated to the newest models at a modest price. They can also be upgraded to the next model – B-420XS to a B-440XS for instance. For more information send us an email on service@densen.dk. Furthermore they can all be updated with external powersupplies like the 1-NRG and 2NRG resulting in a strong update path, and even stronger performance.
