Denon DCD-800NE

Advantages: High-quality assembly, playing files from a USB drive, beautiful appearance

Disadvantages: Does not support Cyrillic in file names, limited choice of supported lossless formats. The disadvantage for me is the sound of the DAC installed on board

Comment: Plays in conjunction with the Denon amplifier of the same 800 series. First I was connected by InAcoustic interconnect cables. But I absolutely didn’t like the sound: it’s detailed - yes, but not emotional, not involving, rather flat. The stage is narrow. I listened and listened, I was very upset, because the sound is not mine at all. But I connected it to the amplifier using a top-end Belkin cable - and, lo and behold, the sound changed, which, in fact, was to be expected (the DAC in the amplifier is different). Although the DAC on board is simpler, I like the sound much more. He is alive. Yes, the detail is a little overwhelmed, but not critical. The sound has become softer, more emotional, and more voluminous. The scene unfolded. A bit sorry for the money for interconnect cables. In short, as a digital transport, this device left a pleasant impression, but I did not like the sound of the DAC. I recommend that you definitely listen before buying (preferably in your path), because everyone's ears and preferences are different.

Advantages: I took the 6006 after Marantz and, to be honest, was pleasantly surprised (albeit a budget model) - the sound is an order of magnitude higher (there was a BAS, which I lacked, intelligibility in the instruments). I mainly listen to branded CDs, I will experiment with a flash drive (while wav 16 | 44100 b 24 | 96 are going great)

Disadvantages: There is no continuous playback from the flash drive - recordings where the track goes to the next track are interrupted for a split second (for example, pink floyd is the reverse side of the moon)

Comment: we will try bottles

Advantages: I have long wanted to update the sound source of my system. Yes, I still doubted whether it was worth it, whether I would feel the difference in the sound. A Panasonic SAHE200 receiver is used as an amplifier, and a Panasonic DVDRa82 was used as a source. In general, in the end I decided to change the device. The choice fell on DENON. I decided to connect immediately for myself by analogy. So far, according to first impressions, I can say one thing: the sound has changed for the better, there is no mess in the sound, as was the case with DVD (it was connected as a transport via coaxial). Even without listening much to the details, more nuances in music and vocals became noticeably audible. I don't know how to say it, but there was more air or something, I wanted to listen to my good old discs - everything came to life so much. Through USB, the sound seemed (although it is) even better. I tried FLAC 16/44 (I didn't have time to try it with a higher resolution) - the flight is complete, all the instruments are not together, but you can hear each one separately (I listen to metal mostly). I didn't bother with the interconnect cable - I connected the one that came with it - everything suits me.Maybe there will be a difference if you take a more expensive cable, but I'm not an audiophile, so that mad doughs pay for the same copper cord. In general, I am completely satisfied.

Disadvantages: Perhaps just a non-removable network cable.

Comment: Maybe with an integrated amplifier it will be even better, but in this case I am satisfied with the result.

Advantages: I had a DCD 520 and compared to it the 800 is better in sound. Flak reads everything.

Disadvantages: This is important for me personally. The main drawback of this model is the inability to select tracks when listening to MP3 discs. When I realized this, I sat down and almost cried. Even the remote has buttons for this function. At 520m, this option was, but not here, on a steeper model. This is hell. Now, inserting the disc, you need to flip through the tracks in turn to get to the desired song. I would have torn my hands off the manufacturers for this.

Comment: -

Advantages: Good detailed sound, solid build, excellent universal remote control.

Disadvantages: It is impossible to select the track number on the remote control by numbers when playing mp3.

Comment: An excellent model, replaced the DCD Denon 710, the sound became more detailed and softer, the bottom is more collected and reliable. The device must be warmed up for at least 100 hours, then everything falls into place. At the first turn on, the middle bulged out, with bass in general it was not clear .... after a while everything started to play as it should! Reads all formats and is very fast, flac sounds decent. Good device, universal!

Advantages: Normal entry-level turntable.

Disadvantages: Screws.

Comment: Overpriced. They could have put a better DAC instead of CD, since now they mostly listen to Flash drives. Something like a network. But the most negative impression is the screws sticking out of the bottom. As if a screwdriver with self-tapping screws stupidly greeted the board through and through. Could not plant on the bushings. No need to mislead, according to the YUSB, the player plays records without pauses. Unless, of course, your track is broken down into tracks.
