Ok after visiting this site http://freett.com/Tfactory/Audio/AZ6829/InsideAZ.html

and hearing about how the az6808 should sound identical to the az6829 I decide to open my az6808 to see inside.

/EDIT: Old Tread
How does it sound. The quick answer is it seem less detail than the dcp-150 but a bit more coherent than the dcp-100 but it less aggressive than the dcp-100 so making a bit it less fun well the dcp-150 is sometime less fun than the dcp-100. It's a warmer because the denon are very clear and bright with the ety 4S at least. But it has good attractive sound presentation with a good amount of detail. I like it better than my PowerCD.

So I guess I still concider the DCP-150 is the king of PCDP.

Duncan I tought you were supose to quit this pcdp business Can't resist the call Well I'm beyond broke so That does it for me. I guess the next thing I realy want to hear is AOS Picolo or PACE. Did anybody compare them to the vintage pcdp? But I need to find a job first. And I still don't have an amp.
