    Default Denon DCD-1700NE - Should I try, again?

    A previous thread spells out succinctly my utterly disappointing experience with the 1600NE. The 1700NE has been out for a bit, now.

    What are the chances Denon has corrected the smell issue with their "new" models?

    Should I roll the dice, again?

    Anyone own the 1700NE?
    Lyrics are the ramblings of man, sometimes inspired by The Creator, most often, not.
    But music (melodies, harmonies, rhythms), that's God stuff.
    Always was. Always will be.


    One of the biggest lies ever told was that only certain kinds of people should listen to certain kinds of music.

    no ... plenty of other models to try . i would walk away and not risk dissapointment again
    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    What is it 'they' say ? Never go back. We only face one way, forwards. Is there ever any point in reinventing the past ?

    2 out 3 against it

    (or is that really 3 out of 3...)

    Points taken.

    Just ordered a DCD-A110. I’ll let you know if it smells!

    So... does it smell? Did it? Purchased new or 2nd hand?
