Since the trade announcement of Denon's new system 6 months ago we have been excited by the prospects. Now that we have got our hands on them in our own environment we're even more impressed! It is easy to set up, simple to use, and sounds great. Music from Spotify/Napster, from your computer/phone/tablet, and from internet radio are all supported. Add-ons to turn any hifi system into a streaming system and to build a full multi-room system will follow shortly. Other products planned for next year, which we aren't allowed to talk about yet, will make this the most flexible and comprehensive streaming system available.
So why are we excited? Most of our top systems are now using streaming from a NAS drive as the best source but can fall down on the flexibility to control more sources and connections. Ironically cheaper options that we recommend are more comprehensive in functions but don't compete on sound performance. Most people's reaction is that they wouldn't hear the difference, but that is dead wrong! It's obvious.
Where Heos scores is that it can do ever ything functionally, almost more than anything, and it also sounds better than anything at the price. It's not a Linn DS, it doesn't sound close to that, but for many people it will be the best solution and that's what we love, great performance, simple solutions. Hifi has come a long way, you can have a brilliant system without any pain.
Call in for a listen and see how easy it can be.

Shown above is the £ 349 Heos 5, which I think will be the most popular model at Lyric, although for another £ 150 you might spring for the Heos 7?
