Kenwood DPX-8021Mi

デュアルサイズCD/MDレシーバー: The DPX-8021Mi is the one to have out of Kenwood's 9021MPi, 8021Mi and 6021M trio if you actually listen to MiniDisc. It shares the flagship's converter section, third order delta sigma running 20-bit at 128 times oversampling, and the same nine band equaliser spanning 60 Hz to 16 kHz, but skips the 9021MPi's MP3 decoder. That matters less than it sounds, because the MD deck here is the better transport on paper anyway: 0.005% distortion, 93 dB signal to noise and 85 dB separation, beating the CD side outright on distortion. MDLP is supported, with LP2 and LP4 indicators lighting on the display. 50W x 4 with 1.5V pre-outs for going further, and you can even add a remote to control it. Heavy at 3.3 kg, which is usually a good sign.

Bluetooth is included, and tested.

Amplifier has been tested successfully.

MD has been tested and is working successfully. 

CD has been tested and is working successfully. 

Harness Included.
