December 17, 200817 yr comment_185595 Oooo, top-loader. Me likely top-loader. I know nothing about the player except that it was Denon's top of the line player in '94 and it cost 500,000 JPY at the time. Report

December 18, 200817 yr comment_186097 Damn, dude. That second one is gorgeous. x2 The aesthetic force is strong with that one... Report
December 19, 200817 yr comment_186191 Dare I utter that I think they're both fugly? Particularly the second one. Report

December 19, 200817 yr comment_186238 I definitely like the first one more. Why did more CD players not have digital in? Surely we are not the only subset of audiophilia that likes DACs, right? Report
December 19, 200817 yr comment_186330 Dare I utter that I think they're both fugly? Particularly the second one. Compared to the Sony R's they indeed are. Me want a Sony CDP/DAS-R10... Report
December 21, 200817 yr comment_186721 More cd players seem to be coming out with digital inputs nowadays, though. A welcome change. I've heard the argument that "they want you to buy the DAC too", but that's silly. The 840c has absolutely exploded on the market, in large part because of the balanced capability and the digital in at a hotly contested price point. You can't tell me that some other companies wouldn't like to make that money, as well (I'm looking at you, Rega.) Report
December 23, 200817 yr comment_187167 It uses 4 x PCM1702 From what I've read about it on diyaudio, the output stage is supposed to be somewhat poorly done and should be modded Report
December 23, 200817 yr comment_187169 The reasoning is probably that it unnecessarily complicates the design for a feature that until recently no one was clambering for. Report
December 23, 200817 yr comment_187174 My favorite looking CDPs: Oracle beastie SimAudio Andromeda Report
December 23, 200817 yr comment_187188 I like the Simaudio Andromeda the best out of these pics... the SuperNova also looks pretty good. Report
December 24, 200817 yr comment_187780 I just happened to come across a Denon DCD-S1 CD player going for slightly under $2k in my country, so if anyone wants this CDP, then do let me know and I'll try to help you out as best as I can. Report
