Denon DCT-1 black face

Used in really good shape

Additional info:
Here is the thread featuring the modifications:

Modded DENON DCT1

The only thing wrong is the toslink transmitter broke off of the daughter board (the little green board in the picture) which plugs into the back of the deck. I have a new transmitter as pictured. If I was ever going to use the toslink output, I would solder either straight to the pins for the daughter board or to the bottom of the PCB. I never had a use or desire to use the digital output of this thing after having Matt work on it.

US tuner.

Hard to find and extremely elegant black face.

I have the original box though not pictured, and it should contain the factory trim rings and manual. This is a DIN mount deck meaning it came without a cage or mounting tabs.

AUX in via the rca plugs works.

Green or Amber illumination. Matt's pictures show green, amber matches my IS300 pretty spot on.

Balanced output works. I will even include the Denon balanced cables for use with the deck. It goes from the RJ45 looking connector in the Denon to a miniDIN balanced plug- same style connector used in the Zapco balanced connectors...and the pin outs are the same to Zapco from what I remember.

Please remember used Z1s are going for nearly $1100-1200 plus shipping. And this is a step up in model number and highly modified.

Bump for a great head unit and a stand-up guy!

The DCT-1 is one of the best sounding head units I have heard and owned. This is definitely a steal given the rarity and going price of these H/U's in addition to the modifications made by Matt R.!

Thanks sir!

**DAT** · 06-21-2012

why you always have the goodies for sale when i'm broke? This is one of the only other SQ HU's I would consider using....

GLWS

Maybe I can talk my friend into buying it

**thehatedguy** · 06-21-2012

I wouldn't be selling if I wasn't BROKE...lol. Had few job prospects fizzle out, so toys must go.

There is a HSS class A tube amp here too.

That is simply badass!

**thehatedguy** · 06-21-2012

Which the deck or the amp?

Well both are...lol.

Amp not going anywhere I hope. You could buy a car for what these things cost new. So let's try not to take this thread off course talking about that guy. If someone wanted it, they would need to have very very very deep pockets.

And the deck is one of the baddest Denons that I know of. Matt has done other Denons, but I think this was the only DCT-1 that has come across his bench.
