There was a longer discussion of Danish "soft d" on the list a few
months back, but the upshot is that it's an (non-sibilant) alveolar
voiced fricative. [D_-] in X-SAMPA, in the IPA proper an edh with an
underbar (diacritic for "retracted").
Most Danes won't notice if you use a dental voiced fricative instead.
