The Sanyo DAD M15 is a vintage CD player that was produced between 1983 and 1984 in Japan. It features a unique CD loading mechanism, allowing users to watch the vertically positioned CD being played through a front opening flap. While the player does not come with a remote control, it offers adjustable audio output through a motorized potentiometer, minimizing sound loss. The DAD M15 is compatible with CD-R and CD-RW media, although it tends to be selective regarding the burning speed and burner used. The headphone output is noted for its high quality, which is a desirable attribute not commonly found in modern devices. With its silver finish, this model has a classic aesthetic that appeals to audiophiles and collectors alike.
