Even if you never owned a single CD in your life, this might be a great time to get your first CD player. I find really good CDs on the street, and $1 a piece in thrift stores. Cheap CDs are plentiful. Or you're looking to replace an aging 'player the DCD-600NE might be just the ticket. It's $299.

It was not released in the U.S. It was called Fruediana. I don't think you will find it on any steaming service either, perhaps, but I doubt it. I have a copy and love it .

Like many guys out there, I still buy and make CD's to this day. With the availability of streaming which could only be dreamed of decades ago is to me an extra great music source, not a replacement. I still love that physical feel of owning a physical medium and I feel my fellow vinyl lovers out there, it's yours forever to hold and own. I've tried hard to hold on to D.A.T and Mini-disc (still got 'em) but Tascam did saved me with their high-capacity memory card digital recorders that gave me back everything that I loved about the Mini-disc, minus the problems.✌️

Unfortunately, this is a common theme in his videos. They often tend to be vague and lacking in detail. And you're right..."functional"..."basic"..."fine place to start" -- that could be said about ANY CD player. "When you hit PLAY, it plays"..."when you hit STOP, it stops". Yeah...got it. How about details about the sound quality, the functionality, how the whole "pure direct" thing works. I understand that when "pure direct" is selected, it deactivates the digital outputs and the display. However, when I disengage "pure direct", I still don't see the display on the CD player. This is stuff people need to know.

I learn about gear that is out there from YT. I choose my price point and make an investment decision only after attempting to audition the equipment I am choosing. The Big Problem is finding dealers who carry the gear I want to hear. Not for nothing, I lean heavily toward legacy gear not only for bang for the buck but b/c I have heard this or that audio product once before over the years. So, I confess most YT reviews are of little informational value for me. Ditto for print reviews. Most. Some speak to my listening preferences - I like big, clearly define sound stages that make me feel I’m in a concert hall or an opera house sitting in high priced orchestra seats at eye level with the performers. Then, I am inclined to listen up and take note. Doesn’t stop me from listening to or reading reviews. It just there is little informational value in them. I guess I’m afraid of missing out on something in the market. That keeps me listening... :)

I'm curious if the DAC in the PMA-600NE would have improved the output from this CD player. With so much being written about DAC technology improving sound I'm wondering if you could hook them up together and compare the sound with and without the DAC built into the amp. Also compare to other inexpensive DACs. This is an issue as the DAC in the amp might make it even more of a bargain than it already seems to be.

I (sort of) took your advice on the Denon amp (399) you refer to. Hooked it to the Klipsch 600M's (439 on sale) which you and Sean and Dorko talked me into -- and an existing Monoprice ($300) powered sub. I think that will satisfy me for awhile (with an 8 year old AT120 ($250) record-rotator with Grado high output MC cartridge ($199 on sale)). Currently, CD's play on a DVD player (free) with coax to the Denon. I can see this CD machine ($299) in the future when the DVD player needs replacement. I'm more into listening to serious music than remortgaging the house to impress people ($0.10 ears) who don't know what I'm listening to. But, I digress. In a space of 1000 sq. ft., half of it with 17' ceilings, I cannot anticipate hearing anything louder there. The Klipsch's and the sub are loafing; the amp is not. But, twice the 50 watts per channel would only yield 3 dB more loudness (nature's diminishing returns). On jazz, it sounds very much like what I remember, visiting the Village Vanguard and the Blue Note. I find it's far better (for me) to be listening for a competent horn player, or a well played piano, or a brilliant acoustic instrument improvisation, than searching for some tiny discrepancy in my music player. Thanks for the advice. -Just one man's view, a musiphile.

Thanks for all your insights and interesting presentations. You mention that this cd player can be used as a transport by means of the optical output. I wonder if that is correct as I understand it, a transport does not have a DAC built in, but relies on an external DAC. The specs on this Denon mention a DAC IC PCM5142, Burr Brown (192kHz/32-Bit). But my question is more on which format/ resolution is outputted to the optic. Is it always 16bit/44kHz regardless of the resolution of the recording/ file on the media? And is the max capabilities of the internal DAC only used to convert to the analog outputs? I have been trying to get my head around this issue and are still looking for a good CD player. I have a LYNGDORF Tdai1120 as my main amp. Did you do a review on this amp? Or is class D's not your cup of tea? Enjoy your videos.
@SteveGuttenbergAudiophiliac

Thanks for watching! When you use the optical output of any CD player it is then functioning as a transport. You are essentially bypassing the CD players internal digital converter. The resolution of all CD players is the same, limited by the resolution of the CD itself, 16 bit, 44 one sampling rate. Of course many players and digital converter‘s poop sample from there, but the native resolution of the CD format is always 16 bit, 44.1. I hope that helps.

Yup, still have plenty of CDs here as well and still buy them (not to mention record to them as well on occasion). I don't have 3000 CDs, but I am very near 1000. I am particular about what I purchase on CD format (never classic rock and the like, but newish music, especially electronic or ambient and classical as well as jazz are good enough for me on CD. Plus there are some special made CDs as well. Anyway, I did not know Denon was still putting out CD players these days. Another good suggestion is Marantz, they have the CD5005 at $399 MSRP, which means $299 on the store shelf or make that, Amazon as stores are dying thanks to the wretched internet. There is also the CD6006 for $100 which just offers USB playback if you want to pay $100 more for that. While Marantz and Denon are part of the same parent company and likely made in the same factory, the Marantz CD players do have an edge on the Denons. For one, they are surprisingly heavy due to a big ol' tordial transformer in them with a power cord to match. They offer a tiny bit more connectivity in back, but unfortunately, they share the exact "drive you crazy" remote. Still, a very solid player.

Steve, you need to put this up against a Yamaha CD-S300 and the Onkyo C-7030. I believe the 7030 might be at the end of its run, and going up in price. All three are/were $299 and have good reviews on various boards. We need to know - which one is best?

Love my CD player, which really saw a lot (over my TT) of use when my kids were little. Less worries if someone bumps something, jumps up and down and you can throw in whatever they like as well. Got a nice deal on a Roksan Kandy K2 30 euro more (330) than this Denon for IMO a much higher quality bit of gear.

Do you own denon. I have noticed their tower speakers, amp & cd player being pushed by you. Can a reviewer be impartial yet recommend brands. If you could build a system for less than £3000 what would you recommend leaving a favoured brand name out. I trust your reviews since I bought the B&W 607 s2 anniversaries.

The Onkyo 7030, the Teac P650, Yamaha has a decent one. etc.......There are many entry level players out there that do a fine job. And most of them have at least one digital output if you want to use your own DAC.
