Denon DCM-380

Date Published: 1/8/08

The Denon DCM-380 is the next logical step in the advancement of CD changers. Many people have embraced MP3 technology on their computers and in the portable audio world. And if you have MP3 files on CDs, the Denon DCM-380 is the CD changer for you.

The DCM-380 five-disc changer can play standard audio files on CD, CD-R, and CD-RW. In addition, it can play the rare HDCD discs--these discs, if you can find them, sound very, very good.

The DCM-380 has a 32-track programmable memory from any or all of the five discs. It also has a three-mode random play. It also has a convenient function on the remote that will rotate the carousel either clock-wise or counter, to quickly access the correct disc. The DCM-380 has a coaxial digital output and a headphone jack. As MP3 gains more and more popularity, the DCM-380 is perhaps, the only way to go.
