Denon DCD-2000
Considering Denon’s long time involvement in PCM, this rebadge was a strange marketing move.
I was told that Denon supported a homebrew variant of CD (like Victor, Telefunken or Pioneer) so this may explain that…
However, unlike Sony, as Denon invloved in PCM since 1970, Denon never envisioned PCM as a mass-market consumer format : it was mostly a way for the pros to better record and master but not something that would, ultimately, put LP replay aside and be used by Mr and Mrs Everybody.
Sony thought differently… and made CD with Philips.
Denon’s 1981/82 prototypes were far more original and interesting, especially the last one.
