Denon DCM-420 5-Disc CD Changer Coax Out & Variable Out, Remote

Denon DCM-420 5-Disc CD Changer Coax Out & Variable Out & Remote

This Denon DCM-420 is a 5-disc carousel CD changer from the early 1990s that combines solid build quality, a pleasant Denon house sound, and both fixed and variable analog outputs, making it easy to integrate into a wide range of stereo setups.

It uses an 18-bit “double super linear” DAC with 8x oversampling to deliver smooth, detailed playback from standard audio CDs, with a rated dynamic range of 97 dB and very low 0.03% total harmonic distortion. The five‑disc roulette-style changer lets you load several albums at once for extended listening, and the presence of both fixed 2 V line outputs and a variable-level output means it can feed a standard integrated amplifier or be run directly into a power amplifier with volume controlled from the player. This example is in good cosmetic condition with normal light wear for its age, has been tested and confirmed working, includes the original Denon remote control and printed manual, provides a coaxial digital output and variable analog output, and does not support playback of CD-R or CD-RW discs (pressed CDs only).
