How much does a Denon DCP-150 go for on eBay these days?

Main Entry: ker·fuf·fle Pronunciation: k&r-'f&-f&l Function: noun Etymology: alteration of carfuffle, from Scots car- (probably from Scottish Gaelic cearr wrong, awkward) + fuffle to become disheveled chiefly British : DISTURBANCE, FUSS |

When I listen to the DCP-150 I tend to be a little more critical as it stands up and makes you notice just how well this PCDP sounds. The level of detail for a PCDP thru the DCP-150 IMO is also slightly better than the DCP-100. The DCP-100 is PCDP that is fun to listen. It's not as detailed and the sound stage is a bit smaller than the DCP-150 but can very well hold it own against the D-311 and the AZ6819. It was described in another thread that the DCP-100 has a 3D like sound effect. It gives the impression that one is listening to music in a huge room without it sounding bloated. I use the DCP-100 when I just want to listen and enjoy the music and not be so critical as to how accurate or detailed the PCDP is. As far as differences in features the DCP-150 has bass boost, remote control, line out, and a digital optical line out where as the DCP-100 has just a line out if I'm not mistaken. Both PCDPs are great sounding units. |

It's the only vintage PCDP with dual 18 bit DACs that I know of. |
