Denon DCD 500AE

I have the opportunity to buy one - for a second system. Does anyone have experience of this cd player? More importantly - does it do the business musically?

thanks tonky

I have read a few favourable reviews on the internet but would value some knowledgeable stuff from any of the folks off here.

Hi Tonky,

I've got the dcd500ae in my main system. Got it ex-dem with a generous discount and it's good vfm. Solidly built, musical player. I compared it to budget offerings by CA and Marantz. The Denon especially impressed with its bass performance. Negatives: the transport is quite noisy, so if you set it up close to your listening position this might annoy you at lower volumes.

Hope this helps, Jack
