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!
