Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was using the Denon DCD-1700NE for a past couple years and just moved up to the DCD-3000NE. The 1700 is nothing to sneeze at as it’s a very good SACD/CD player, but…the 3000NE takes it to another level (as it should). Built like a tank at 37lbs and dead quiet in operation as well as noise floor, extremely black space between tracks. SACD micro and macro details will leave you speechless, from solid lows through clean, smooth, detailed midrange to shimmering and airy highs the presentation is simply amazing. ESS Sabre ES9018K2M 32-bit/384kHz quad DAC brings every nuance of the music to your ears. With Denon’s 7th generation Ultra AL32 processing, my large collection of Redbook CD’s sound better than ever and may even rival some of my SACD’s! This is a truly great machine. With the right setup of preamp, amp and speakers, this Denon just shines and could be the last SACD/CD you’ll ever need. Expensive, yes. Worth the expense, absolutely!

Paired with a Marantz amplifier, absolutely amazing sound.
