Denon
DCD-680
CD-Player
Der Player funktioniert einwandfrei.
Leider ohne Fernbedienung
At €50 for an excellent-condition Denon DCD-680, this is a strong bargain compared to the typical used market, where similar Denon DCD models generally trade between €83 and €193 on eBay, and the DCD-680 specifically has seen listings as low as ~€37 (from $40) but often climbs to ~€64 (from $68.87) or much higher for pristine units. You’re getting a well-regarded vintage CD player for less than the 25th percentile of current used pricing, making it a clear buying opportunity over the obvious alternative of a generic budget player at this price.
The DCD-680 is cherished for its solid mechanical build, smooth transport, and warm, detailed sound that still competes with modern mid-tier players, especially when paired with a quality DAC or amp. Its Denon reliability and original-owner condition add meaningful upside, and at this price, even minor age-related wear is a minor concern worth the trade for such a clean, affordable classic hi-fi piece.

Denon traces its origins to 1910, when American entrepreneur Frederick Whitney Horn founded Japan's first audio equipment company, Nipponophone, initially focused on gramophones and records. The Denon brand emerged in 1939 from the merger of Japan Denki Onkyo—combining "den" for electricity and "on" for sound—with other entities, marking a shift toward professional audio development. This heritage includes pioneering Japan's first professional disc recorder in 1945, used to capture Emperor Hirohito's voice, and launching the nation's first long-playing records in 1951.
The brand excels across a broad spectrum of hi-fi categories, from amplifiers, turntables, and tuners to loudspeakers, cassette decks, and phono cartridges. Denon's innovations extend to digital frontiers, such as the world's first practical PCM recorder in the early 1970s, the inaugural CD player in 1981, and early home theater systems with Dolby Digital in 1995. Today, its lineup encompasses AV receivers, headphones, wireless streaming solutions like HEOS, and high-channel processors, blending professional-grade components with consumer accessibility.
Denon holds a commanding position as a mid-to-high-end mainstay in the hi-fi market, revered for its blend of technological firsts, robust build quality, and balanced sound signatures that appeal to discerning enthusiasts. No longer a vintage collector's niche, it competes confidently against premium rivals, backed by over a century of audio leadership and strategic partnerships like its merger with Marantz.
