According to our CD player expert
Even in this price range, Denon knows how to stuff its CD players with modern technology that Denon also uses in its much more costly designs. For example, the DCD-520AE has a 32-bit / 192kHz Digital-to-Analogue Converter (DAC) and can use Denon's Master Clock Design to eliminate jitter (digital time errors). If the DCD-520AE is combined with the Denon PMA-520AE amplifier, you can operate both devices with the same remote control. In addition to playing standard CDs, the DCD-520AE can also play CD-R / RW discs with MP3 and WMA files.

Simple but good CD player. I advise everyone to pay close attention to the price. I paid 250 euros; a day later there was 193 euros as the price........ What a difference.

I had just bought a new player from the Teac brand a few weeks ago, but I was not very satisfied with it. All the more so because I make my own digital sound recordings (mixes) via my PC studio program with 148 tracks. It is therefore a requirement for me that once the recordings have been burned to a CD-R, they must be of excellent quality.
With this Denon player I get to hear exactly how the recordings sound. I was also able to determine that this Denon can work with any brand of CD-RÂs, which is important to me. I admit that I am a demanding person and want to get the most out of it.
Furthermore, this Denon has no problems to play CDRW, MP3, MWA. The operation is simple and you can switch on the device via the supplied remote control. You must turn on the power button on the device the first time. If you switch on the Denon and leave it on, it will switch itself into a standby mode after a while, although the latter is not 100% true because when the Denon is in standby you would expect that if you press the button to open the CD tray, the Denon would come out of standby. But to get the Denon back from standby, you have to press the power button via the remote control. I also miss a button on the remote control that allows to open and close the CD tray. But this Denon with its price / quality is a good purchase that I can recommend to anyone who loves music.

Can recommend this product to anyone, price/quality and easy to connect to amplifier. Operation very simple. Next time I would choose the silver version.
