Denon DCD-50 CD Player, Music Player for HiFi System, CD / MP3 / WMA files, Digital Coaxial Output, Vertical & Horizontal Placement, OLED Display, D/A Conversion Block - Black

Extremely happy with the Denon DCD-100 CD Player purchased from the UK, since this unit was not available in the US market where I reside. This CD player was perfectly matched with the Denon PMA-150H, Denon Home 150 Wireless Speakers and Denon S-M41 Speakers which is currently set-up in my home office. The functionality and audio quality of the Denon Design Series exceeded this Audiophile's expectations. The HEOS App is very intuitive, whereby most of the functions are readily controlled on my iphone 12 Pro. Greatly appreciate the simplicity of connecting all the component units together. Definitely a superb Hi-Fi component system that is worth the investment.

This is my second dcd-50. The first one refused to play any of my CD's. It would read them, show the number of tracks and duration, but when I pressed play it would whirr and click for about a minute and then say "unsupported". I phoned Denon they said take it back. I did and then ordered another from Amazon. The new one worked fine for about two weeks and then started to have the same problem. It now refuses to play about 2/3 rds of my CD's including the ones it was happily playing last week! Shame because it looks nice, particularly with the PMA-60 it sits on top of, but unless I am extremely unluckily this product is simply a dud.

Searched for some time to find a CD player that was small, good looking and at the right place. Took some doing but this fits the bill perfectly. Looks incredible and was more than pleasantly surprised by the playback quality. Definitely punches way above it's weight when it comes to sound quality versus price. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this player, especially having lived with it for several months.

This is another piece of very high quality kit from Denon. Build quality is excellent - and the sound, as you'd expect, pretty awesome. Clever design too, with either horizontal or vertical placement possible. I have it paired with a Denon PMA-50 amp and Q Acoustics 3020i speakers. And that combination sounds exceptional, especially considering that they are all 'compact' components.

overall a good cd player. However, when I try to play some of my discs it will not recognize them and just puts up a message on the display " unsupported " which is odd as they play fine on my other cd player. This is a bit of a disappointment as it ruins an otherwise excellent product. After writing this review on 23/02/2021 I decided to turn it on it's side, because you can use it in the horizontal or vertical positions and to my great surprise I tried the discs that would not play in the horizontal played perfectly in the vertical. . . . odd????. anyone know why this should be?

Whilst I stream a lot of music these days and I've ripped my cd's to my NAS drive to play through my speakers, I still like to play my cd's but didn't want to go for a large player. This Denon fits the bill well as I use it vertically and has the 'form factor' in my living room alongside my amp and TT. Sound quality is excellent and I'm enjoying playing my old cd's again.

Looks great listened to Supertramp's crime of the century sounded good played fine tried to play three more CDs but cd player wouldn't play any of them so put it back in its box and will be returning

Very pleased. The sound quality is pretty good relative to the cost. The appearance and size are great. As mentioned in other reviews the loading mechanism is laboured but this is a minor issue. Generally good value.
