About this product
The DENON DN-HS5500 is a single CD DJ player with a direct-drive aluminum platter, offering active turntable control. It plays CD-R/RW and AAC files, with speed settings at 33.3 and 45 RPM. The pitch range extends to +/- 50%, allowing extreme tempo adjustments. Audio outputs are RCA phono. Sold as a unit from Japan, this silver model is priced at $499.99.
Our take
The DN-HS5500 feels like a solid workhorse for DJs who still spin CDs. The direct-drive platter is responsive, and the +/- 50% pitch range is great for creative mixing. However, being a single player, you'll need two for traditional setups, which doubles the cost. AAC playback is a plus, but no USB or digital outs feel dated. Build quality is typical Denon – rugged. If you're a CD DJ on a budget, this is a decent pick, but consider that it's a single unit and lacks modern connectivity.
