Excellent CD Player and better than those twice the price
This is a Re-Review. Had used the Denon DCD520AE for some time and was gob smacked how good it was.Since buying an OPPO UDP-203 BD Player (The OPPO has OPPO's dedicated Audio CD circuitry, so essentially a high end Audio CD Player when Audio CD's are played) , it didn't sound obviously different from the Denon on a quick play at the time, plus I had no room in the Unit for both. So, I boxed up the Denon for keeping.Since I came across the reviews again and I now have room for all my equipment, I couldn't help review the Denon DCD520AE again. Compared to The Marantz 6005 initially now the OPPO UDP-2003, The Denon DCD520AE leaves the others behind. The Denon has a wonderful clean open and dynamic sound, Highs are spot on, mids are open and musical and the Denon really do the lows well "Where did that botton note come from, I said, not heard it before".George Michael - Ladies & Gentlemen has a very wide frequency range and is very dynamic. Dynamic and great clarity on the Denon, but sadly the OPPO and the Marantz not so dynamic and dived into screeching on some of Georges's loud highs. The Denon DCD520AE kept its control and dynamics and smooth sound, but with great definition and clarity and tops too.Contrary to one Reviewer, the Denon has got Track Scanning. It's underneath the Track Skip buttons on the remote and if at the front panel, quick press is Track Skip and hold for 1 second they become the Scan buttons.Sadly, the Denon DCD520AE is difficult to get hold of now, but if anyone is looking for one and finds one ... GRAB it.Speakers Tested with it:Monitor Audio Reference Series Floor Standers MR6Amps Tested with it:Marantz PMA6006 UK EditionPioneer A-20 (My favourite)

basic no nonsense CD player
This unit came up to my expectations, very good sound quality fed through my Bose unit. It is very simple to install and the unit is a pleasing silver colour and is well worth the cost. Do not find the remote at all useful and is obviously not specifically designed for this unit, however, it is not needed as my remote for the Bose works fine.

NIce and simple.
I simply needed a new player and was looking for something straightforward and high quality.I was spoiled by my old beast which had the smoothest yet most detailed sound I ever had, Cambridge Audio cd2.Couldn't afford to spend high so looked for a player from a high quality manufacturer and Denon won.Display is basic and I don't like the massive remote (I will not be replacing my Audiolab amp with a Denon just to use all the functionality).I cannot complain about the excellent build quality or value for money and therefore the reasonably high audio quality at this price point made this an easy choice for me. Onkyo and NAD were the brands I looked at.

Very happy with this Denon CD Player.
Was searching for a CD player for my hi-fi system in my sitting room, and when I say this Denon CD player on Amazon for such a price, and after having gone over various reviews, I opted for this basic CD player. As it was a Denon I was assured of good quality and build. I was not disappointed at all. Before I was listening to CDs from my smallish DVD player, which had a great disadvantage as I could not skip tracks and go to the part of the CD I wanted. This solved that problem. Even though it does not have a USB option to play saved music on pendrives, you can easily simply transfer music files like mp3s onto a CD and you may record about 8 to 10 CDs on a single CD, which is quite convenient, as each CD would have a separate folder and the recordings of that particular CD may be played separately. The quality of transfers to CDR is quite good, at least on my system. Would definitely recommend this CD player without any reservation. So 5 stars.

Superb quality, easy to use, really pleased
Bought a Denon AV system 18 years ago, which was superb and still going strong!!! So I chose this mainly out of brand loyalty Vs price etc.Looks great out of the box. Simple to set up, had optical inputs too. Build quality is superb, and the unit feels "substantial".We retired a Linn CD player recently, and this was the replacement, so the bar was set high.Sound is clear, well balanced and thoroughly musical, sound stage is convincing and it adapts to material seamlessly, with no apparent preference. Remote is comprehensive, but easy to understand and use.Really great sounding, solid, easy to use, would buy again.

Just as good if not better than CD Players twice it's price ...
Brought this after my old CD Player finally died. It is partnered with a Pioneer Amp and Denon Speakers, and I have to say, " Wow ". What a cracking CD Player for the money. Just as good if not better than CD Players twice it's price that I had listened to before purchasing this one.Lovely smooth & punchy bass and very clear mid range and treble.Looks smart and stylish and just the right amount of buttons on the front panel that you need.No it doesn't have a headphone socket, but if you want that then just use your Amp for that.I have never used headphone sockets on other equipment with them, only the Amp, so no big problem there.Well worth the money, buy one if you are thinking about replacing your old machine. You won't be disappointed......

one of the features which was annoying was when programming a cd the player would create ...
I bought this cd player from amazon in july 2014. In February 2018 it stopped working. It is not a case of cleaning the laser as shown on youtube. The amazon seller has not replied to my email asking for advice. I bought my first cd player in 1985. This was my third. Obviously the other two lasted on average 14.5 years each. This has lasted 3.5 years. The same amazon seller is still selling this same model. On another note, while it was working, one of the features which was annoying was when programming a cd the player would create a gap between songs. For example if I wanted to listen to the old side one of the Beatles white album and programmed those tracks it would create a gap between Back in the USSR and Dear Prudence. There is no excuse for that - my other cd players did not make gaps and lasted alot longer.

Ottimo lettore cd!
Ho comprato questo lettore cd per sostituire un lettore Onkyo C-7030 che dopo soli tre anni aveva l'ottica difettosa e la riparazione non era conveniente. Questo Denon, invece, per il momento sembra di buona fattura anche se costa meno rispetto ad altri modelli. Il suono è eccellente e pur essendo un po' spartano nei comandi, soddisfa tutte le mie aspettative. L'unica cosa che manca è l'ingresso per le cuffie ma, secondo me, non è indispensabile. Infine, come al solito, la consegna di Amazon è stata velocissima.

Rapport qualité Prix exceptionnel
Je l'utilise dans ma chambre en complément d'une chaîne de marque entrée de gamme ampli Marantz, et enceintes bibliothèque DAVIS.Je l'ai depuis hier et j'en suis ravi, à 150 euros, il n'y a pas de meilleure offre sur le marché dans cette gamme de produit. très belle présentation, télécommande au top, et ça sonne bien ! Parfaitement emballé (pour une fois! ), livré rapidement et courtoisement. Merci Amazon.N'oubliez pas de changer les câbles RCA fournis bas de gamme et aussi les piles de la télécommande qui vont invariablement couler d'ici 2 ou 3 mois.Je certifie sur l'honneur que ce témoignage est sincère.

Très bon son
Reçu rapidement.Très belle finition. Très simple d'utilisation.Agréablement surpris de la qualité du son pour le prix. En effet, je l'ai testé avant de le transmettre à la personne pour qui je l'ai acheté.Quand à l'utilisateur final (87 ans), qui écoute exclusivement de la musique classique, en est enchantée par la qualité du son et sa simplicité.Il n'y a pas de connectique BT sur ce modèle mais le modèle supérieur est de même conception et possède cette connectique.

Muy bueno a un precio contenido
Es un reproductor de CD básico, hace lo que tiene que hacer perfectamente, su diseño es bonito, su precio es bajo y suena realmente bien, lo he conectado por conexión óptica a un reproductor de audio en red cuatro veces mas caro y no distingo el sonido de este del directo por sus salidas RCA.
