Kenwood DP-880SG
The Kenwood DP-880SG is a single-disc CD player. Beyond the spec sheet, the historical record is thin. No launch date, original price, or market positioning has surfaced in the research, so what follows is what the documentation supports.
The player uses a 1-bit D/A converter with 8x oversampling and a swing-arm transport mechanism. That combination was contemporary high-end practice at the time. Frequency response is rated at 20Hz-20kHz, dynamic range at 100dB, signal-to-noise ratio at 110dB, and channel separation at 100dB. Total harmonic distortion is listed at 0.18%. Output level is a standard 2V. Wow and flutter is listed as below the measurable limit, which is expected for a CD transport. It measures 440 x 90 x 310mm and weighs 2.5kg.
Audio (1988, p.147) included the DP-880SG in a roundup of CD players and D/A converters. The record is otherwise quiet: no service information, no known common failures, and no current market pricing has been documented.
