About the DCM-290

The Denon DCM-290 is a 5-disc CD changer designed to play regular audio CDs as well as HDCD discs and CD-R/RW discs containing MP3 and WMA files. It features a multi-level noise shaping DAC that reduces jitter and high-frequency interference, providing clean analog output. The player supports program playback of up to 32 tracks from the loaded discs, three modes of random playback (full random, program random, disc sequential random), and an intelligent disc scan allowing carousel rotation in both directions. It includes optical and coaxial digital outputs, a headphone jack, and remote control IN/OUT functionality for operation via compatible amplifiers or receivers. The unit measures approximately 17.1"(W) x 4.7"(H) x 15.8"(D) and weighs about 13.9 lbs (6.3 kg). Power consumption is 15 W at AC 120 V, 60 Hz. The DCM-290 is noted for smooth, quiet operation and user-friendly features such as manual search, display brightness control, and a 20-selection music calendar display. It is suitable for audiophiles seeking a versatile multi-disc CD player with support for digital formats and high fidelity sound reproduction.
