Denon Envaya DSB100 Bluetooth Speaker
Denon is on another small speaker kick, introducing the Envaya Mini DSB100 speaker. This is a smaller version of their Envaya DSB200. It’s designed with a similar sonic signature, but reduces the form factor further to create a truly portable speaker that is both colorful and water resistant. The Denon Envaya DSB100 bluetooth speaker can run for up to 10-hours on its rechargeable Li-ion battery. Denon even made sure the included speakerphone had a noise canceling feature to make it practical for real-world use when you’re listening to tunes and a call comes in. The new Envaya speaker is available in black with a blue cloth grille or a white enclosure with an orange cloth grille. The Envaya Mini is water resistant and also includes a carry case for easier portability.
The bite-sized Denon Envaya DSB100 bluetooth speaker uses two 1.6″ (40mm) drivers plus some fancy digital sound processing (DSP) technology to create a really wide soundstage that would otherwise seem impossible for such a small form factor. Using digital treble processing, Denon yields a widened 3D audio image and more detailed vocal and instrument fidelity.
Like the Denon DSB200 Bluetooth speaker, the Envaya Mini DSB100 includes the aptX Bluetooth CODEC for near-lossless audio streaming and low latency. NFC pairing also means that you can simply tap to pair a compatible smart phone—there’s no button pressing, no manual pairing, and no waiting for your device to be “discovered”. Recharging is done via a mini USB connection underneath a panel that opens and there’s even an auxiliary input for legacy connections.
Aside from music playback, the low latency—just 32 milliseconds—makes this a great portable system for gaming or even watching videos from tablets and smart phones.
The Envaya Mini DSB-100 will be available this month (December 2014) for $149.

Yep—the Denon Envaya DSB100 can be purchased here: http://www.audiogurus.com/denon-envaya-dsb100-bluetooth-speaker-6233.html
Just received the Envaya DSB100 and must say that I am blown away by how great this little speaker sounds. The output is clear, deep and plenty loud. My UE Boom Mini sounds like a clock radio by comparison. Thank you Audiogurus for being the only online retailer in the U.S. that I am aware of to carry it and thanks for delivering it so quickly. I will be a repeat customer for sure.
