Enjoy stereo sound from a variety of CD types with the Denon DCD-600NE CD Player. It uses a 192 kHz / 32-bit digital-to-analog converter for detailed audio reproduction from the stereo RCA analog output, and also features an optical output. The DCD-600NE will play CDs, CD-R/RWs, and MP3- and WMA-encoded discs.

AL32 Processing

AL32 Processing is an analog waveform reproduction technology that utilizes data interpolation algorithms to add in the points that should exist before and after large quantities of data to smooth out the waveform and restore information lost during the digital recording. This is designed to produce detailed playback that's free of interference, expressive in the lower range, and faithful to the original sound.

Supports CD, CD-R/RW, MP3, WMA, and USB Playback

Enjoy extended playback support for your high-resolution audio collection. The DCD-600NE can play standard CDs as well as CD-R/RWs in audio, MP3, and WMA format.

Short Circuit Paths

The circuit patterns of the DCD-600NE are engineered to make signal paths as short as possible, helping to reduce interference between circuits and the left and right channels, thereby minimizing the adverse influences on audio signals. This helps provide a clean audio output that's transparent and faithful to the original recording.

Optical Output

The DCD-600NE features an optical output to connect to the digital input of your amplifier or receiver.

Pure Direct Mode

This mode deactivates the digital output and the display, which could otherwise color the signal to help output clean, detailed, accurate audio.

Direct Mechanical Ground Construction

The vibration-resistant design helps mitigate the adverse audio effects of heavy components within amplifiers. The power transformer is installed immediately above the insulators, near the foot, to mitigate unwanted vibration. In conjunction with a metal bracket connecting the CD mechanism and chassis to the feet, unwanted resonance from the rotation of the disc is also reduced for enhanced sound quality.

Auto Power Off Function

Auto Power Off helps you conserve energy by automatically powering the CD player off if it's left unused for a set period of time.

I have been a DENON fan since the 80's. Great sound and features that I really like. Bluetooth capibilities for speakers and being able to stream music. Just enjoy a movie with Elite sound. Systems lasts, still got my first one.

I purchased Denon DCD-600E because I wanted a high quality player without extraneous features that I'll never use (bluetooth, usb port). After a week of playing a variety of music; rock, jazz, r&b, folk, I've concluded that it produces the best sound reproduction of any CD player I've ever encountered (I bought my first CD in the spring of 1986). Instruments and voices sound more distinct and more lifelike than before. It also plays perfectly the CD-Rs that I've burned on my computer. I like the layout of the controls, with the eject button offset below the play, stop, etc. row. My only complaint is a trivial one. In order to change the display mode one must use the remote. It seems to me one more button on the unit, perhaps just to the left of the display, would be appropriate. Personally, I don't use the remote as I almost always play each disc from start to finish. Highly recommended.

Awesome value

Have owned this player now for a few months and it is a wonderful addition to my audio setup. Pairs well with my NAD C-368 via the optical input. Has a very clean, well designed appearance with reasonably good build quality.

Good but,

I abandoned CDs a few years ago (but not my collection) and recently decided to move back towards a more deliberate mode of listening to music. No more streaming. I researched relatively reasonably priced higher end players and this seemed to fit the bill. I just wasn't prepared for how good it really sounds. Sonically, leaps and bounds over my previous players from Sony. Wonderful player.

Does this CD player play commercial CDs that are "live" or have music that flows from one track to another without inserting a gap between the tracks? Note that this used to be called gapless playback, but apparently some say that is different now related to "streamers". So whatever it is called these days I just want it to play "live" and Pink Floyd-like CDs without inserting periods of silence between tracks.
Asked by: Ross
The player will not insert gaps, where they do not already exist.
