Hanss Acoustics CD20

The CD20 is a digital player made, surprising, by an analog producer. This is not one of those player made for those who love to have extra many features on a device like this, but for those how like to keep it simple and the sound it’s all that matters. The main feature of the CD20 is the metal-made remote that basically allows you to control all you can. Other features include analogue outputs: unbalanced and balanced (XLR) and digital outputs: electrical S/PDIF. And that’s pretty much all. The sound that cames out is lovely. It will make you forget anything that you may not like about the player… definitely…

Densen B-420 XS

I’ve been wanted to tell about this dane midrange player for a while and I am glad I now can do it. This is nothing else but state of the art danish  technology. The “outer layer” of the player is represented by  a fine crafted aluminium carcass in very cool minimalist style. One of the features is, that  for a little over 200€ you can have a remote handset. Some of the other features are 2 unbalanced analogue outputs, electrical s/PDIF digital outputs and inputs. It weights aprox. 8kg and has a sound quality that will make feel like you’re at a live concert of your favorite band. All this does not come cheap at all (over 2,200€) but it worth’s each cent.
