About the DCD-1420
The Denon DCD-1420 is a stereo CD player made in Japan from 1988 to 1990. It features a 20-bit digital converter using two PCM54P chips with additional resistors to extend resolution from 16 to 20 bits, providing high fidelity sound reproduction. The player supports CD and CD-R playback (not CD-RW), includes both coaxial and optical digital outputs, and offers a range of playback functions such as shuffle, programmed playback, repeat, and direct title selection. It has a frequency response of 2 Hz to 20 kHz, a dynamic range of 97 dB, signal-to-noise ratio of 108 dB, and very low distortion (0.003% at 1 kHz). The unit weighs 6.3 kg and measures 434 x 135 x 310 mm. It comes with a remote control (RC-217) and has both fixed and variable analog outputs. The DCD-1420 does not support CD-Text, MP3, pitch control, or auto play. Its robust metal chassis and precise digital filtering contribute to its clear, crisp sound quality.
