Denon DCD 700AE

Advantages: State of the Art Sound
Disadvantages: None that I know of

...Before I start regarding this system, a word of advice, really shop around, I personally saved over £100 by buying this over the internet compared with what the high street electrical stores were charging. I paid £327 for the DF-102 System and £68.99 for the SF102 speakers as seperates, instore the system sells for £499.99. The Hi-Fi comes in two systems, the CD Player (DCD-F102) and a AM/FM Stereo-DAB Receiver (DRA-F102 DAB), both units are silver, and the Speakers are Silver with a removable black front cover.

Advantages: good quality playing and stylish.
Disadvantages: may not have the best radio reception.

...I was bought a Denon recently for a present for my birthday and i have been pleasently supprised by it, it is a very nice and stylish CD player, is easy to use and is simple in design and has a good sound quality when listening to CD's, to be fair i have not yet had any problems with it such as the CD's skipping or not playing which i have had in the past with other CD players. It is also quite handy as it has a built in radio which is always good if you are not in the mood to listen to a CD and it has good quality radio reception assuming it does not have a substancial arial to it, this may be a problem if you live in an area with poor radio reception. over all it seems to be good quality, stylish and has good features such as the screen and is pretty small and compact if you want to move it about....
