New Denon Headphones Make Mysterious Appearance At Line Show

Yesterday, at Denon's line show in Jersey City, three pairs of noise-isolating earphones and three pairs of updated performance over-the-ear headphones were on display. However, they were not part of the presentation and there were no press releases. They're nice looking, and nice sounding, so I did some digging for more information, which you can check out after the jump.

Denon Launches Four Compact S-Series 2.1 Systems With Wi-Fi, USB, iPod and Other Options

Denon's compact home theater systems just got some big improvements. Both the S-302 ($1699) and the S-102 ($999), which are due in September, can upscale DVDs to 1080p; the S-302 bumps up all analog incoming video to 1080p as well. The S-302 also has built-in Wi-Fi and can display cover art of the music streaming from a PC or Mac. The new S-32 and S-52 are in the "clock radio" or iPod dock family, though they are far more loaded than the typical competitor. Both the S-32 and S-52 are wireless and networked; on top of that the S-52 will have an HD Radio tuner, a slot-loading CD player and a USB jack for local content. More »

• Networking connectivity for both PCs and Macs (via Twonky Media)

Denon Introduces $2,000 DVD-3800BDCI Blu-ray Player

Today in Jersey City, Denon unveiled its flagship DVD player, the DVD-3800BDCI, coming out this fall. It will be among the first to sport the BD-ROM version 1.1, which means it will have dual audio/video decoders to take advantage of picture-in-picture content, and has an SD card slot, so that you can download web content. It does not have an Ethernet jack, however, so you will have to use a PC to download content to SD. It's also, according to Denon, the world's first high-def disc player to use the Realta HQV video processor for super-badass video cleanup. The processor will clean up Blu-ray discs, if that tells you anything. More »

Denon Introduces Networked ASD-3N and ASD-3W iPod Docks, X-Space DHT-FS3 Surround Bar and RC-7000CI RF/IR Remote System

Today at the Hyatt Regency in Jersey City, Denon unveiled a massive line of new home-theater gear, mostly centered on the themes of network connectivity and easier setup.
• Networked ASD-3N and ASD-3W iPod docks ($179.99 and $229.99, out in August and September, respectively, with the "W" adding integrated Wi-Fi). In addition to providing a TV interface to access both video and audio content on an iPod, the docks pull music and photos from PCs and Macs on your network, and can be connected to any component, not just Denon stuff.
• X-Space DHT-FS3 surround sound bar and "super slim" subwoofer, which not only complements the docks but can be a nice low-profile surround-sound option under a flat-panel TV. Rare that these things fit below your TV unless they're wall mounted. We saw this before, but didn't expect a US arrival.
• RC-7000CI IR/RF Remote Control, which becomes an RF two-way remote system when you add the RC-7001RCI adapter—basically an RF dongle with its own IR blaster. When you use it with Denon components, you can see metadata, like what's playing, right on the remote's screen.
