I am posting about cd players in this forum because I don't find any other for it. Anyway, I am not excited because I got a vintage cd player but I am learning interesting things. The Denon I got, DCD 660 (1989) has a 20 bit lambda super linear converter. (I didn't know it) but reaserching in the web, I found Denon still use it in some high priced units and sigma delta in the low cost units. This vintage unit claims S/N 107 db, THD >0.003 db, channel sep > 100db Do you guys know about this Lambda D/A converter???? Is it a Denon patent??
Thanks........!!!!
P/S I found now that this converter is used in hi-end Denon cd players. DCD-685 and DCD S1 ($8000) use it. I paid $9.00 in the GoodWill without know any thing about this old unit, but I see now why the sound impressed me and don't notice any difference with my Nad cd player. When I got home with it before yesterday, I said, how is possible this 20 year old trash sound like this. That made me research about it because I couldn't believe it.
