Question about the denon Denon DNS3500

[wayne]

Does any one know if the Denon DNS3500 can play mp3 direct from your hardrive/ pc without the need to burn the mp3 onto a cd?


Also whats the main difference between this and the S5000 is it just the spining platter?

Any help much appreciated?

Think it's only the 5000 / 5500 that has alpha mix / mirror mix mate

Yeah this is defo the one i want Denon DNHS5500 Media Player Midi Controller - £739.00 its a midi controller built in as well which is what i want.

One last question has any one any expierence of buying from America cos i could get one for £200 quid cheaper brand new incl postage.. do you need a converter to use it here ont he different power supply and if so how much are they?

Cheers all 4 the help so far

Yeah, don't!

You'll end up paying import tax on it, so if it's only a saving of £200 it just aint worth it, unless you are willing to take a gamble and ask the seller to send it as "gift" with a value of less than $20 - to avoid paying the import tax, you'd be daft to as if it went missing in the post, you wouldn't be able to claim owt.

sure i remember that Jack said on here that he bought some from america and didnt have any probs though. Obviously theres a risk, but sometimes it is worth it. Im thinkin of doin the same thing so would be good to hear some other opinions...

I bought mine brand new from the states and it came very quick and I saved alot doin it that way

Only things to watch are:

You will need a converter as we are on 240v and the US arent. (Not too expensive from £2 - £18)

I got hit with a small customs charge :|

Defo would do it again

 

[wayne]

This has arrived from america 2 days ago and i am made up.

Good delivery time with no problems.

This peice of kit is the dogs bollox- mirror mix, dump; effects; 2 decks in one; midi controller, plays off your flash drive ( the list goes on)

Still learning to get to grips with it

No none in total i saved £250 on brand new price in England (including postage and insurance etc) the only thing i had to pay for on top of that was £20 for the adapter for the mains. Spent a lot of time checking the feedback on the seller to ensure they were legit.
