    CD player, Bluetooth in and out, streamer, HMDI ARC, aux input, phono input, radio, and a powerful D-class amp for the size of this unit. Denon has picked the best caps and components for this N12 a 4th generation 'ceol' device. The CD is what got me looking at this for my bedroom, ARC for my TV was just icing on the audio cake. With thousands of CDs on hand, the N12's redesigned CD tray and mechanical isolation mechanism work wonderfully. Paired my Bluetooth headphones and they are programmed in. The real surprise was how good Heos works with my Amazon music streaming, unbeatable good sound. All controlled by the app and your phone, use my music account a lot more. There is an option for alarms, also an always-on clock, and when I turn my TV on the N12 comes on, and my Roku remote controls the volume. My aux-in is my gaming laptop which sounds good when playing or on my computer in general. This a solid product built by a reputable manufacturer with great design and quality parts. Setup may not be super easy to someone unfamiliar with the process but it is worth it and this little streamer does many things and sounds good too.

    The Denon Ceol backs a punch for a mini system. Awesome sound, easy connectivity, wifi, Bluetooth and CD all in a compact unit.

    I really wanted to like this one. It's is a nice looking amp with all the right inputs for my needs. I would have preferred the navigation on the front rather than the top, but Denon did a good job with the aesthetics. Looks more costly than it is. I was able to get a great sale price of $420, but ended up returning it. I paired it with a set of Q Acoustics 3020i which sound awesome with my NAD C316BEE V2, but fell short with the N12. I just wasn't happy with the sound. Though it would probably be fine in a smaller room with a better matched set of speakers.

    Purchased for xmas '23, had to return it to Best Buy due to inability to connect to bluetooth headphones, Denon did not have a solution, was told by Denon to reset to factory specs, that did not work. Purchased a second unit directly from Denon, and the second unit connects to bluetooth headphones, but no sound comes out from bluetooth headphones, was told by Denon to unplug unit..wait 60 seconds and plug unit back in. That works, except you have to unplug the unit EVERY TIME. Seems like Denon has a bluetooth transmitter issue. Very disapointed , especially with the cost of this unit

    Solid quality, klicks on all service (CD, streaming, radio, amplifier) cylinders. Just the right piece of equipment with my 10 speakers throughout the house and my new volume control unit for the various speakers. Denon has done it again!
