Hey everyone! I just bought my first sc5000 a few days back… I would like to know what you guys think about the sound quality / potential for future sound quality of these units. The small room size of my studio makes it difficult for me to make proper sound test and I am holding off before buying …

It sounds great now that the new firmware is in. It need no further improvements as far as human ears go. If anyone at your event EVER stops dancing and runs up to you waving an audio spectrum print out and a load of useless microscopic numbers with dozens of decimal places then… well then, the w…

I expected more sound quality improvement than we’ve gotten thus far, but at the time I didn’t know InMusic was working on the Prime 4 or WiFi support. That’s a lot they’ve been doing behind the scenes. I found out about those like everyone else did on the forum. They’ve had a big work load, so I…

Hahaha you just made my day! :raised_hands:t3:

While I’d certainly not turn down improved audio if it came without compromise, the resources of both Denon and the hardware itself are very much finite. Meanwhile, the to-do list grows ever longer. I’ve just received my SC5000Ms and have yet to put them through anything particularly high-end befor…

I have to admit that being able to move around in my library so easily is something very refreshing for me, it give me the opportunity to play from a wider range of tracks. Thats one of many thing that the sc5000 does very well in m…

I always try to make someone’s day. This time, it was your turn :smile: A good few years back, I used to work in a hi-if separates audiophile shop. The sort of place where an amplifier was actually a “ pick & mix “ of the customer choosing their perfect power supply for the amp, their perfect inpu…

I agree. The Standalone UI is already head and shoulders above the competition. (Though Engine Prime/BPM detect etc continues to have much greater scope for improvement) My 5am comment may not have been phrased all that clearly but I was essentially saying this is where Denon is on it’s way with a…

Thank you for you detailed response it is very appreciated!!

I had to go back and A/B it with the older firmware and different files to hear any improvement. It’s better but sometimes it sounds like it has the Dolby NR button pushed in.

Agreed, like it’s smeared or something. Still a little roll-off, but there’s more going on detrimental to the sound quality from the processing than just that. [image] Firmware update thoughts Media Players An evaluation of the state of the industry other than Denon Prim…
