CD playback is possible, but there are some issues. I played it for about an hour without any problems. This is for people who don't mind the issues or are able to maintain it. Functionality confirmed: CD playback, basic operations (track selection, pause, stop) Remote control operation Headphone output (volume has some crackling, but it lessens with use) Issues: Tray sometimes fails to open/close, power may turn off when not used for a while (works after restarting) The tray open/close belt is a substitute. Not tested: USB device playback High-quality 32bit/192kHz DAC CD player. - Model: DCD-755RE - DAC: 32bit/192kHz - Features: iPod/iPhone direct play - Brand: DENON Thank you for viewing.
