When Densen launched its B-800 FM tuner, it became an instant hit, receiving several awards over the years, and becoming a hit for Densen.
Compared to the earlier incarnations of the B-800, the new circuits are further refined, and as a result, the B-800MK3 has an even more transparent and dynamic sound than the older incarnations, while preserving the strong detaillevel, precise soundstage, and generally musically performance..
The analogue stages, have had Densens strong focus, and as usual for a Densen design, they are class A stages with no feedback at all.
Since Densen have designed all in the B-800MK3 themselves, the software can be upgraded if the function of the B-800MK3 is altered.
However the gain of the frontend is adjusted by Densens unique Gizmo remote.
Most of these features can be adjusted on the back of the B-800mk3, as the front only contains the primary adjustments.
Seen from the outside the B-800MK3 can give the impression of a simple Tuner with an easy userinterface, however under the skin, the B-800MK3 contains several advanced features, that allow the user to adjust search level to choose the minimum level of signal quality of stations the Tuner should stop at and DX/local adjustment and gain level on the frontends input.
B-800MK3 contains the possibility of upgrading with a DAB module, however Densen has decided not to launch such a module at present, since Densen Head Honcho Thomas Sillesen simply things DAB sounds to poor..
Further to this, the B-800MK3 contains the possibility of upgrading with Densens DNRG external powersupply.
The powersupply contains a custommade transformer, and Densens own capacitors with a total capacity of 20.000uF making the B-800mk3s powersupply rather unusual for a tuner.
Internally the front end is encapsulated, to avoid high frequency interference with the delicate audiocircuits.
Further to that the user can calibrate the front end in 2 steps, to match it perfectly for various signal levels.
In the B-800MK3 the frontend is a completely new design, which are hand calibrated before each unit leaves the Densen factory.
This is a part of a clear strategy for Densen to have all competences in house.
As usual for a Densen design, everything is designed inhouse by Densen, and no external consultant has been used.
Now with 3 generation Densen has improved the design in several important areas, to perfect the performance even further.
In generation 2 the B-800 was upgraded with RDS.
