I haven't played WAVs through the Denon, but I wouldn't bother with WAVs. See http://www.naimlabel.com/musicstore-downloads-information.aspx for a detailed comparison of file formats.

Hi Paul The Denon in my experience performs rather solidly if you want basic playback of tracks and whole albums, and of course it has AirPlay and you can plug an i-thingy or HDD / USB in at the front. If you buy one and it doesn't have the latest firmware, it's just a simple case of updating...

Hi. Yes, still around! 1. I don't know this and couldn't find it on my system. 2. I have just this minute tried this: will play FLAC gaplessly, but will not play mp3s gaplessly. 3. Don't know -- haven't tried that. Best wishes, Paul

In case anyone's interested, after a recent firmware update, the Denon dnp720-ae now does gapless FLAC playback, and also it's now possible to search ("fast forward" and "rewind") within a track. Seemed a long time coming, but I'm really glad Denon has done this (I bought mine in the early days...

Hi Richard Yes, it sounds like something is definitely not right with the system and needs sorting out. At the very least, I would expect Denon / the retailer to send you a replacement. Good luck with everything. Paul

Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear about your problems. When I bought my Denon dnp720-ae network streamer a couple of years back, I had a few teething problems, all of which I fed back to Denon's very helpful technical support, and some of which they addressed in future firmware updates(!). I...

I think it's functions such as playing all tracks by all albums by a particular artist, for example, that are not possible with an HDD (for example, if you wanted to play all tracks in sequence from say 3 albums by the same artist); not sure about random / shuffle. I think I'm right in saying...

Hi HDNumpty I asked myself the exact same question (before deciding on whether to buy the Stream Magic 6), and the helpful guys at Richer Sounds allowed me to plug in one of my portable HDDs directly into the USB port of the SM6 to see if the FLAC files on the drive would play OK. They did, and...

I too am concerned about the less-than-100% reliability of the player. More specifically, I have found that when using the app for the iPad, and playing tracks with two connected 128GB memory sticks (mostly FLAC files), a message "Connecting to Music" appears on the iPad, and the Stream Magic...
