Analog & Digital Outputs: The Denon DCD-50 is equipped with a digital coaxial output and a analog stereo RCA output.
Front-Panel & Remote Control: The supplied IR remote control features an ergonomically-designed layout that includes a cursor keypad, number keypad and dedicated function buttons such as random, repeat, info and program. You can control both DCD-50 player and PMA-50 or PMA-60 amplifier with the supplied remote.

When paired with the PMA-50 or PMA-60 amplifier, you can adjust the display brightness of both units at the same time.

No. I put a SACD in my Devon DCD-50 and it said unsupported on the display. It does sound really good with regular CD's however. [ KENT A Feb 03, 2017 ]
