I have a Denon 5 disc changer DCM 340 with 20bit Linear 8x oversample.
I would like to replace this with a single disc player. I am looking at a
local Denon DCD 1500 II. Does anyone know if this would be comparable
sounding player? Is it 20bit or 16bit? I have read many good reviews of
these Denon era players. I have also considered spending more to get a
nice NAD, Music Hall or Cambridge Audio player. I believe I could get one
of those units for around $400-500. I'm not nuts about spending the
extra cash and am thinking that if I can get an older good player for a
great price it would be the way to go. The reason I am going to a single
player is I don't really utilize the 5 disc changer anymore and it seems
like a good idea to get a better transport. The DCM 340 has been very
nice to use, sounds good and build quality is ok. Thought maybe the
older Denon may have a better transport and build quality but similar
if not better sound. Any comments? Thanks- Jon
