The DMD-1000 has been equipped with Denon's Advanced Super Linear Converter, a high accuracy D/A conversion system for maximum low resolution and the widest dynamic range. Found on Denon CD players, ASLC provides superb transparency and precise delineation of low level musical information.
The DMD-1000 uses a 64-times oversampling, enhanced Dual-bit Delta Sigma 20-bit A/D converter that features sub-stantially improved dynamic range compared to the conventional 16 bit A/D converters used in other digital recorders for maximum signal to noise ratio. immediately.
The DMD-1000's input terminals include two optical digital, one coaxial digital, and one analog input pair. The output terminals consits of one optical digital and one analog ouput pair.
Summary: I got this as a present from my foster-mother. Man, is she sweet! I use the DMD1000 for direct to disc recording. Sound wise, it's an outstanding value: clear, quiet, supple, spacious and just plain sweet. Perfect for quickly making very pleasant recordings indeed. Never had a cd player sounding so lovely :)
Strengths: Sound.
Basic editing works fine.
adjustable headphones out.
Apparently good build quality after 5 years.
I even use this as a reference for computer based recordings. Seriously! And I do own some nice audio interfaces and software and stuff.
Did I mention the sound?
Weaknesses: Level metering is inaccurate: it WILL clip below max meter levels. Oh well, it's not a pro recorder...

Summary: Oh, man this md-player is excellent!!! The sound is clear, robust, dynamic but its mild, nice, easy, flyable too. The quality is very good, like all of the Denon. Its not a basic equipment, rather than professional. Simply, classic form, but a great development. I use it more than 1 years ago, but i have no any problems with! Dont hesitate if somebody offer you a similar mdplayer!!I Catch it!
Strengths: Brilliant sound quality, hi-fi sound. Modern or classical music? - no problem for him. :) Quality built, it looks like long-life product.
I got this as a present from my foster-mother. She's sweet. I use this for direct to disc recording. Sound wise, the quality is outstanding: clear, quiet, open and just plain sweet. It's perfect to make very pleasant recordings easy and fast.
Level metering is not perfect, it may clip even below max level. Details like this mark the difference from pro recording gear.
Features are fine, basic editing functions work like they should. For me, this is a keeper. I even find myself using this as a reference for my computer based recordings: it's not all that easy to arrive at the same kind of fluid and effortless sound.

Summary: This MD-recorder is a really good player and recorder if you just want to copy your CDs.
Features:
The basic MD-Functions are given, but if you want to do more you''re better of buying a Sony MDS-JA20/50/555ES.
Design & build quality:
Brilliant!! This recorder is built like a tank and quite heavy at over 6.5 kilos. The brushed aluminium front panel looks very good (espacially in gold!)
Sound quality: Recordings are very fluent and good sounding, whether you record via the analog or digital input. There is no big difference compared to CD, so if you want a Md-recorder with basic features which sounds good from "Beethoven" to "Kid Loco" give it a listen!
System:
Denon DCD-1550AR CD-player
Denon PMA-1550R amplifier
Denon TU-1500R tuner
Grundig speakers
Schroers & Schroers hifi rack
Audio Magic Penta XL speakerstands
Strengths: Sound and build quality.
Weaknesses: Some freaks who like to do more with their music than just copying it should look at the Sony Md-range!

Summary: I happen to own 2 of these works of art. I bought one thinking I might use it once in a while. But, after playing around and getting used to a new format, (for me that is) I can't begin to describe how fun and versatile this thing is. Not to mention it's beautifully designed and put together like a tank. Anyone who owns a denon receiver should see how gorgeous this thing blends in with your receiver, and YES it's almost as big. The price is a little higher than the average player, but this is no average unit. Along with it's numerous editing features, filing, naming and erasing. I can't think of ANYTHING this player can not do. If there's something this doesn't do it's probably something you'll never need. I bought two because I was planning on using the second for my "Man Room". Well, I never finished my man room, so I am going to have to part with the second. If anyone's interested shoot me an email and I'll give you a killer deal. If you're just looking at this to maybe consider your first Mini Disc player or wanting a second, maybe higher scale than you already own, but this player, even if not here. It's fantastic all the way down to the easy to use but extremely functional remote. I hope this helps out a few people, you won't regret it once you accept it from the UPS guys hands and set it up in your theater, your gonna have a big smile on your face for long time............
Strengths: Build quality, ergonomics, functionality, versatility, editing, too much more to list.
Weaknesses: NONE!
