The Kenwood DP-X 9010 is a CD transport produced by Kenwood from 1989 to 1992. This device is known for its impressive build quality and sound performance, which is attributed to its all-metal construction. Measuring 440 x 132 x 361 mm and weighing 10 kg, it possesses a compact yet robust design fitting into standard audio setups. The unit has a power consumption of 20 W and is finished in black. It features a remote control unit (RC-PX9010) for enhanced convenience. The DP-X 9010 is designed without an internal digital-to-analog converter, allowing for the use of external DACs, maximizing sound quality. It supports multiple playback modes and allows for automatic program editing and repeat playback. The synchronization fluctuations are noted as not measurable, indicating high precision in playback. The CD transport includes various types of output connections: a digital optical output (with a signal range of -21 to -15 dBm) and a coaxial digital output (0.5 Vp-p, 75 Ohm). Additionally, the headphone output is rated at 60 mW for 8 Ohm load. The Kenwood DP-X 9010 is praised for its simple yet ergonomic controls, which include backlit buttons, and an elegant design that avoids unnecessary embellishments. Its drawer mechanism is lauded for its smooth operation and durability. This model is also noted for being comparable in performance to other high-end CD transports from different manufacturers but is often available at a much more accessible price point.
