FOR AUDIOPHILES....COHERENCY,COHERENCY,TIMING IS EVERYTHING.

Finincky with some CD's...maybe it was the unit we got...unfortunately,Denon dropped out from car audio..they are only doing hi end for the Japanese market. And the new units?Wheww...$2000 and over...CRAZY.CRRRRAZY.

Bested when last tested with other hi bit players from Nakamichi Cd45Z and a Clarion,. Only Clarion came close and bested it in the slam factor in the Bass. Midrange and coherency were its strenghts. Overall, i would prefer this unit over the newer productions. The NMakamichi came as a disappointment,dynamics were restricted,a little on the "too safe side" but not sounding bright compared with the oldie Alpine 7909.
