Denon DCD 510AE vs Cambridge Audio TOPAZ CD5 v4

[admin_exported]

Hi folks,

:type: Denon DCD 510AE vs Cambridge Audio TOPAZ CD5 v4 - is there much choice between the these budget CD players (other than £20 odd squids)? I can't find any 'side by side' reviews so I thought I'd ask you guys and galls. I have read a comment that the Cam. Audio can be a bit more in your face and brash, where as the Denon is smoother. Any comments anyone?

Thanks

Both good players but I'd favour the Denon for its smoother sound. Plus I like the design of Denon components - really classy looking.

Bear in mind there's a new DCD-520AE due soon...

Thanks for the helpful replies!

:type: Been scanning all stuff on WHiFi and Richer Sounds and now I'm considering the merits of the Denon M38 DAB. Audio wise, how does this compare to separtes of equible cost? Richer Sounds look like they have a good deal with the M38DAB but would I get stuffed on budget finding favourable speakers for them?

Thanks again,

Vinca
