•B-410XS參考規格

稱Densen 為產品識別度最高的品牌可一點都不為過，Densen 的產品不論是唱盤、DAC、前級、後級還是綜擴，都是同一個樣子，且相同尺寸，絕對不會看走眼。Densen 的型號命名方式也很一致，除了最新的DenDAC50 之外，其他都是B 開頭接3 位數字，然後數字越大的等級越高。其中1 開頭代表綜合擴大機，2開頭是後級，3 是前級，CD 唱盤則是4 開頭，因此這次評論的主角B-420XS很明顯的就是CD 唱盤。

Densen 目前一共有4 部CD 唱盤，等級由低至高分別是B-410XS、B-420XS、B-440XS，以及B-475XS，但令人迷惑的是，它們的外型看起來完全一樣，連背板的輸出、入端子都相同，當中除了旗艦唱盤B-475XS 採電源分離設計，多了一部尺寸相同的電源機箱之外，其他三部只能靠印在面板的型號分辨，那它們的差異在哪裡？基本上，在相同的架構下，B-420XS 具備比B-410XS 更大顆、份量更充足的環形變壓器，加強了電源供應；B-440XS 使用和B-420XS 相同的電源供應，但數類轉換與類比輸出電路板大了一倍有餘；B-475XS 與B-440XS的差別則是B-475XS 將電源部分整個外移，一口氣用上3 顆環形變壓器與數量驚人的濾波電容陣列，供應能力給擴大機使用都綽綽有餘。

The all new B-410XS is the new entry level CD-player from Densen. It is the first in a strong line of new CD Players, which all combine CD Playback with a input that allows to use the CD Player as DAC.

Densen has a strong reputation among audiophiles due to the Densens CD players highly engaging musicality.

The task for the Densen development team has been to not only replicate the qualities of the former models, but to make a new generation of CD Players that surpasses the old players in every aspect.

The B-410XS is the successor to the B-410+.

The design of the B-410XS started when the B-410+ was launched. During the lengthy development phase, a completely new atapi controller was made for control of the CD Drive. Using Densens own software, the controller not only controls the drive, it also controls the complete user interface with remote, and display. The display now matches Densens B-110, B-150, B-250 amplifiers.

The CD Drive is modified at the Densen factory with a clockcontroller that allows the motherboard to control the system clock, to avoid jitter by using same clock in both sending and receiving end of the datastream.

The powersupply of the B-410XS uses a large custommade toroid transformer, which has 4 individual outputs, so the B-410XS uses 4 individual powersupplies. The B-410XS contains 4 custommade capacitors each of 10.000uF giving a total storage capacity of 40.000uF which would not be out of place in a poweramplifier, but which in a CD player is exceptional.

The DAC and analogue board is separated from the main CPU board, and can be upgraded as technology is progressing. Allready from the beginning the B-410XS can be upgraded to the B-420XS and B-440XS players. However, upgrade from B-410 and B-410+ to B-410XS is NOT possible.

The DAC is a 24 bit type which is mounted under a shielded box, to avoid digital interference on the analogue stages. Naturally the B-410XS can have the absolute phase of the signal inverted, so even recordings with wrong phase can be played correct so even recordings with wrong phase can be played correct.

The analogue stage uses Densen’s unique non feedback class A topology. It is further perfected from the earlier designs, and are one of the key elements that secures the extreme high sound quality of the B-410XS.

Soundwise the B-410XS is the result of Densen headhoncho Thomas Sillesens desire to make a CD Player that not only surpasses the excisting Densen models, but a CD player that will be a benchmark for what can be expected from CD players not only at the pricepoint of the B-410XS, but also at pricepoints much higher. The B-410XS is transparent, dynamic, precise, engaging, musically correct, with a precise soundstage, and the ability to create a sound so good you forget you are “just” listening to a CD Player.

The B-410XS has double outputs, BNC digital output and Densen’s own Digital output format which allows for easy upgrade to separate DAC and Transport, if Densen decides to launch a separate DAC. The digital outputs can be switched off. It also has DenLink for easy communication between Densen products and for use in multiroom systems.

As with all Densen products the keywords for this player are: Life is too short for boring hi-fi
