Denon DN-S5000 Review

Summary

The DN-S5000 is a professional tabletop single-disc CD player with a revolutionary new feature: an active analog turntable platter with real-time user interaction. The live motor-driven “active platter,” seven inches across, can be used to scratch, backspin, brake, search, and otherwise manipulate as if the compact disc is a vinyl turntable. To complete the authentic vinyl feel of analog scratching, Denon adds a real vinyl record on top of the included slip mat and slip sheet, so the vinyl jock is right at home.
