And so that no misunderstanding: I am not a fetishist HIFI can detect (and wants) if a CD in the rear sound space is something superficial which affects the lower sound level of the upper tones in differentiated vibrations .... or something like that. I hear music. From pop to jazz to rock and back again. There are even a few classical music CDs.
And I'm from the Denon CD player excited !!! In conjunction with my 25 year old AKG headphones is listening a pleasure CDs. Maybe I make it myself with my getting on in years a hearing, but the sound is excellent, clean and sophisticated. The controls are simple and functional. Clearly structured the whole front panel. I would have wished that the volume of the headphones with the remote control would be regulated. But you can not really ask for at this price.
Overall I am very pleased with the CD player. If he now also in the long-term use as is, as first impressions are, then I can only recommend this player.
