| Better CD Sound: The Search Yes to Denon. I’ve sold many over my audio sales days. And yes, definitely upper range for better, more natural sound. Currently auditioning an open-box Denon DCD-1600 - a pure CD/SACD player, no ins and outs, just a straight player with no frills... | |
| Music Direct and my recent exoeriences A: never had an issue with AA. B: can’t call and speak with a human at MD. Left a message, no reply. Just sayin’ | |
