DCD-600NE Compact CD Player | CD Players for Home Stereo System | Vibration-Resistant Design | 2 Channels | Pure Direct Mode | Pair with PMA-600NE for Enhanced Sound Quality | Black

So to be clear this is for the 900 NE - not the 600 NE -- as they are separate models (900 is pricier one). But Amazon has grouped them all together. So I bought this "by accident". About 3 months ago I started collecting vinyl, BUT many things I wanted were not available- so "by accident" -cd's followed. I then bought a $200 all in one Victrola thingy that was trash for the records.....and then the cd function just....stopped working. And yet- I'd amassed dozens of records and CD's....despite the "intention" to "have a simple vinyl collection". So the Denon 900NE arrived today. The first couple of listens are PHENOMENAL . I'm hearing things in the music that I didn't even hear on the Victrola - like it's CD player didn't pick it up; and this does. Sound is clear, crisp, and sharp and carries easily across my studio apartment. I didn't have an amp so I just hooked it up directly to my Audio-Technica speakers (the real ones- the bookshelf pair)- and sound is phenomenal with JUST those, no amp required. We'll see how this goes with time; of course, but for now I'm super excited about this. I "thought I was starting a record collecton" but with how amazing this is so far; I wouldn't be surprised if the CD thing got much larger. I did also buy the two year coverage on it, just to be sure, as I do live in a warm climate.

This unit is very easy to use all the functions respond smoothly and quickly

They give you a remote but it doesn't reject the CD! This remote is really for someone who has all Denon components. I don't have any other Denon components but the remote does play, stop, pause, go back and forth, etc. I called to see if there was one that had the ejection and there is not. I thought that was weird. Other than that I am happy with this CD player. I was happy to find one, especially at a reasonable price.

This is a fantastic player for the price. I’ve had it for almost 3 years now, constantly being used no issues. But most importantly the sound is excellent reminds me of my very old not working denon 1520 cd player from the 1980s. I’ve had no issues with skipping even though I have wood floor and grandkids lol. Highly recommend it.

This CD player worked fine, and sounded great, for six and a half months. A couple days ago, it stopped reading discs, displaying the "Can't Read Disc" error. That error was common for many of the CD-Rs that I had burned, but never for commercial CDs. Now every CD, commercial or otherwise, triggers the error, without exception. I tried leaving it off for a few hours, unplugging it, just to see if it were just some weird glitch, but that didn't resolve the problem. (I saw that at least one other Amazon reviewer reported this problem within having the unit for less than a year, so it doesn't appear to be a one-off problem.) So, faced with the cost to ship it to a repair center (and probably springing for shipping insurance, too), and given the reports I've seen of repairs taking four to six months (with no guarantee that the warranty would be honored), I decided to take the cover off and see whether cleaning the lens would help. I tried a dry cotton swab first, which didn't help. Isopropyl alcohol on the lens didn't help, either. I also sprayed the inside with compressed air, although that was unnecessary because the inside of the player was entirely dust-free. And there were no obvious failed components inside (e.g., broken belt, disconnected ribbon cable, etc.). I've decided to consider my Denon purchase a sunk cost and put whatever money I'd spend on the repair toward buying another CD player. In almost fifty years of owning stereo equipment, I've had only one item that failed so soon after acquisition, and that was a cheapo Radio Shack all-in-one system that I purchased about 45 years ago. Everything else has lasted years or decades. Too bad, because the sound of the Denon player was outstanding. I rarely buy extended warranties but, like others, I recommend doing so if you purchase this CD player. I now wish I had done so.

I bought this Denon because my Onkyo 6 disc carousel was causing certain CDs to skip or freeze. I am a longtime Onkyo sycophant going back some 30 years now, so I assumed the CDs were somehow "bad". I finally got tired of spending money on replacement CDs, and I began to open my mind to the possibility that perhaps everything I had ever believed about Onkyo was wrong. Thankfully, I didn't throw away those old "bad" CDs, and the first thing I did when I hooked up this new Denon was to try those old "bad" CDs. Zero issues on this new Denon. Zero skips. Zero freezing. The CDs weren't bad, the Onkyo CD player was bad! So I have now deprogrammed myself from being an Onkyo cult follower, and now I'm all in on Denon products. When my Onkyo receiver finally goes bad, it will also be replaced with a Denon. Go Denon!

Midrange pricing but you get an excellent product. The sound to me is super. You also get a remote that works correctly right out of the box (of course you have place the batteries in first).

This is a great product for our Church. We have had a Denon CD player for years. We upgraded and now an play thumb drives
