Review on Denon DCD-1600NE Super Audio CD Player: Enhanced Design, Powerful Processing & Modern File Compatibility by Darryl Wheeler

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Sounds good, but does it smell?

This SACD player sounds fantastic. Plays SACD, DVD-Audio and CDs perfectly. Very simple controls, no frills. However, it smells very strongly of plastic when using it - not like a burnt smell, but like plastic. It doesn't overheat so doesn't pose a hazard. The smell kicks in as soon as the disc starts playing - it's been a little over two months since I've had it, hope it goes away soon. I will try to update this review in about a month.

Pros
  • UNMATCHED SOUND EXPERIENCE - Solid build quality, clean aesthetics, contemporary design and professional Denon rework make this stylish player a must-have for your audio and home theater system
Cons
  • Good, but not great
