If Santa was exceedingly nice this year and brought you a flat-screen TV and/or a new iPod, Denon may have a little something else for you. The S-301, big brother to the S-101, improves upon its less powerful sibling in many respects. Yes, you can interact with the new
virtual
iPod interface once an iPod is plugged in (don
t worry, it
ll play back all your purchased music, but it won’t have the iTunes interface); yes, it can play DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD; yes, it can play back JPEGS stored on CDs or DVDs. Most importantly, however, is that it has HDMI inputs. Now you don
t have to sacrifice style over subtance. Well, not for $1,600 you don
t.
