Denon DCM-270 5-Disc CD Changer

The 270 was the replacement for my DCM-260. I did however go to the same store I purchased my DCM-260 and there isn't much difference between the 260 and 270. I did not find a section for Denon products in general so I am posting this in each component category because I do have a full Denon rack. But if I see just a general Denon review board then I will place it there.
I am probably one of the pickiest people when it comes to quality and workmanship in any electronic product. And it must sound crystal clear if it is audio.
After spending 26 years (since I was 8 years old) tinkering with electronics, getting my degree in computer technology and communications, working in my own business in the computer industry and repairing, building and installing numerous video, audio, radio, communications, and just about any electronics device you can think of, (inhale) I have never found better products than Denon. Denon out does even Marantz over all (I used to be a big fan of Marantz).
After you set up various combinations and open up a few to take a peek at the workmanship and quality of the components, you will know what I mean.
Last year I went on a 4 month vendetta to find an overall "awesome" system to put together and I found a store where I could preview Denon, Marantz, Sony, JVC, Pioneer, Yamaha, and several other high end home entertainment system brands and products in various combination. The Denon line blew me away.
When my search, for the system I could be very happy with, was over, I ended up with the following Items: The Denon DVD-2500, Denon AVR-2700 Receiver, Denon DCM-260 5 CD changer, Denon DRW-585 Dual Tape Deck, Four Paradigm Mini Monitors (which aren't so mini), 25" Boston Acoustics Center, And a 10" Paradigm Floor Sub Woofer (everyone thinks it is a coffee table until I tell them it's a Sub).
Then I got the VCR (just a higher end RCA, cause with DVD you don't use too many VHS tapes any more except to record TV show to watch later). And a good TV set which will eventually change too much bigger and better.
And even a year later I am still standing rapt in awe over my new found love.
The Denon DVD-2500 is most excellent. The clarity in the audio and video using the Optical and Full Digital features is astounding.
Who needs to go out and pay for a movie in a theater when you got a killer rack? The only thing I can find that a movie theater has over a home theater is the screen size.
The Denon AVR-2700 receiver had better clarity than it's next step counterpart. The difference is in the internal amplifiers' noise reduction. Besides the only options that the next one up had that the AVR-2700 did not have, I personally would have never used anyway. They were just some of those "Toy Options" for when you are really bored.
The Denon DCM-260 5 CD changer has no optical outs but in 5-channel stereo with each channel level set proper on the receiver.... WATCH OUT FOR ANY THING NOT BOLTED DOWN IN YOUR HOUSE!!!!! Besides, on the DVD-2500 you can play CDs and DVDs in full digital.
The Denon DRW-585 tape deck makes incredibly clear copies to tape. I know this because my fiance?s truck doesn't have a CD player installed YET. The reproductions to tape were very impressive.
As for the speakers I chose. Well if I wanted anything bigger I would have had to move into a bomb shelter.
I even hooked up this entire system to my computer and can operate most functions from the PC and watch movies on my computer playing from the rack, whether it is from cable channels, VHS, DVD and listen to and record music to the PC as well. That all takes a bit of ingenuity and a few self-engineered items hooked up here and there along with a bit of software revising.
As for my over all rating on Denon Products...Buy, Buy, Buy!!!
As for my satisfaction with the entire system I purchased.... No words can truly describe.
If you are one of those guys that have to run 10,000 watts plus to prove your manhood, get over it. Denons are low watt / high current systems and not for the faint at heart.
On occasion I used to go to some underground and rave clubs where the music was so loud that, sitting in a chair, you would literally move across the floor; and forget talking to someone else in there, even an inch from another?s ear and yelling as loud as you could they still wouldn't hear you.
This system is right up there in the level it can be played, and the sound is still crystal, if you make the proper adjustments from the default settings on the components.
One tip: Use only the best connecting wires, cables and optical lines and you won't be let down.
