Denon DP-S1: any experience with it?


A denon dp-s1 transport in very good condition is going to be available for sale. I have good memories from the only occasion I auditioned it ... but it was a looong time ago.
A few questions:
- how does its performance compares with other transports, like the ones from wadia, cec, ML ...
- when was the production of the DP-s1 discontinued? (the model was launched on 1993)
- are there any reliability issues with this transport? Does denon still keep spare parts for it?
- What would be the fair price for such a unit? (it was one of the latest units produced)

Thank you in advance,
Vermeer

He's gonna "PIMP IT OUT" with quality parts along with the power supply. He's also gonna look at my dac(Altis)
I heard it at the S'phile show on '93 and at the Tower Books "Superstore" in Vegas(The complete system). It was rated Class A for awhile at the same time as Wadia etc. and was well built. I'd buy one if i were in the market.
It amazes me that people don't take care of thier stuff. My transport has an Acrylic finish that was destroyed by the previous owner. luckily, I can send it to the factory to re-applied.
