The player is nice looking and compact but it will not play some of my CD that works in my old player, it will say my CD is not supported?

The player can recognize up to 255 folders and 255 files. The unit will also supports ID3-tag and WMA-tag data for the display of song/artist/album information from MP3 and WMA music files.

- WMA: sampling frequency of 64-192kbps and sampling frequency of 32, 44.1, or 48kHz
32-Bit/192kHz DAC: The DCD-50 contains Denon's own 32bit/192kHz D/A converter, renowned for its high degree of precision, to bring you the best sound quality possible with wide dynamic range, extremely low noise, and no distortion.
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. There are also push-button controls on the front-panel of the CD player to operate Power, Eject, Play/Pause, Stop, and Previous/Next Track.

Front-Panel Display: The Clear View OLED screen on the front-panel features automatic display orientation that detects if the DCD-50 is placed vertically or horizontally and adjusts the display accordingly.

The dimmer function features 3 levels of display brightness, adjustable via the remote control. When paired with the PMA-50 or PMA-60 amplifier, you can adjust the display brightness of both units at the same time.
Vertical or Horizontal Placement: The DCD-50 can be positioned vertically or horizontally alongside the PMA-50 or PMA-60 stereo amplifier.

Customer Q&A
Crutchfield asked
Why did you buy this?
Big fan of Denon products! It's the only one Crutchfield carries currently, and a bit more than I wanted to spend; but it's Denon, so I know I'm getting quality and longevity. I had a multi-disc player for years (different brand), but decided to focus on a single-disc player; (less parts that move). I have a large CD collection and still am old-school on music CDs since I don't have iPods. [ Kerry Lane Jun 08, 2018 ]

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 ]
