Other Notes: This Transport/DAC pair is from an extremely limited production run with very few units ever produced. The pair sounds as good as the day it was born- this is a rare opportunity to own a true collector's specimen.

"the arrival of the flagship S1 series in 1993 put in place much of the audio technology now found across the company’s range. The S1 models – the ‘S’ stood for ‘sensitive’ – comprised a massively built CD transport and separate digital-to-analogue converter, the DP-S1 and DA-S1, and saw the début of Denon’s Alpha Processing, designed to deliver a more analogue sound from digital audio, while amplification was handled by the two-box PRA-S1 preamplifier and two POA-S1 monobloc power amplifiers." - Denon
