About the Denon RCD-N7

Because you love listening to music
It's everywhere you are. The CD player in your old truck. The flash drive at work. On your iPod® at the gym. When you finally get home after a long day, wouldn't it be great to have something that plays it all? That's why Denon came up with the RCD-N7. Gather up your CDs, hunt for the thumb drive in your coat, lasso that iPhone® ringing on top of the dresser and bring them all here. Pop something and relax. An optional firmware upgrade gives you Apple AirPlay® — super-convenient access to your iTunes® library, with control from your iPhone, iPod touch®, or iPad™.
