About this product
The Denon DN-HS5500 is a professional digital media player and MIDI controller with a direct-drive motorized platter. It features analog RCA/coaxial out, MIDI in, and USB in, plus 2 line inputs. This tabletop unit from Japan offers 2-channel operation and weighs 6.8 kg. Manufactured in 2008, it is designed for DJs who want tactile control over digital files.
Our take
The DN-HS5500 is a blast from the past, but it still holds up. The motorized platter feels great, and the direct drive ensures fast starts and stops. Having MIDI and USB connectivity makes it versatile for software control. However, it's a 2008 model, so don't expect modern features like high-resolution screens or advanced looping. The weight (6.8 kg) means it's a solid piece, but not very portable. If you find one in good condition, it's a capable workhorse, just be aware of its age.
