Hey Audiophiles!

Do you want to take your music with you?  Are you dissatisfied with the
current crop of portables?  Maybe this portable CD player is for you:

 - dual 16-bit D/A converters
 - eight-times oversampling digital filters
 - 94 dB S/N
 - ruler-flat frequency response
 - optical digital output

The CD player itself is very well engineered (ergonomically speaking), and well
built.  Other features:

 - hold/resume switch
 - bass boost
 - seven different playing modes 
 - remote control

The CD player is in excellent condition (like new!) and comes with:

 - owner's manual
 - cord to attach line out on CD player to aux. inputs on your stereo
 - one battery
 - AC adapter
 - velvet carrying case

(In other words, I'm selling it with all the stuff it came with.)

In addition, I purchased (over the one or two years I've had it) the following
things, which I'm also including:

 - extra battery
 - battery charger

I'm asking $300 CDN for all of the above.  For an extra $30, I'll throw in a 
pair of AKG K260 headphones (large, comfortable, _great_ sound) with an
adapter to convert the 1/4" headphone jack to a 1/8" jack for the CD player. 

Questions you might have:

1) If it's so great, why is he selling it?

   I like to take my CD player for walks, and found that the Denon tended to
   skip when I did so.  I got a Sony Discman to replace it (which doesn't 
   sound anywhere _near_ as good) which doesn't.  As I've only the two ears,
   I'm selling the Denon.

2) Is there anything unique/special/different about the player?

   Yes.  Apart from its fantastic sound, it's also serial number 1.  It was
   the first one manufactured by Denon for sale in North America.

3) How well is it built?

   Very well indeed.  This thing is actually built like a tank.  The only
   plastic on it is the little cap over the optical digital out.

You must see it/hear it/have it!  It truly is a great player, and for a while
I was considering keeping it and selling the Sony!  E-Mail if you're interested
