Apple will succeed where other failed lamentably in Japan several years ago, and lord I wish I could remember the name of the technology used six years ago on Sony, Sharp, Kenwood, Pioneer and Denon Compact Hi-Fi systems that actually does pretty much the same thing as Apple AirPlay but failed to catch-on.

Anyway, Denon has for us today in Japan a new Compact CD player the RCD-N7, your average Compact Hi-Fi with Radio and CD player but coming with Wi-Fi, DLNA ver1.5, iPod & iPhone 4 Dock and Apple AirPlay support.
Less Sexy but still pretty much useful, our RCD-N7 comes with Windows Media Player 11 support as well as being capable of handling the following media types: MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV (linear PCM), WMA Lossless and FLAC.

Also compatible with Denon iPod Touch and iPhone “Remote App” the RCD-N7 and also features a “VTuner” for Internet Radio.
