D-EJ885

The D-EJ885 sat toward the upper end of the late pure-CD lineup, with a more polished exterior, optical output, and a stronger sense of overall finish than the standard models below it. The circular design, remote, and battery system all reflected a product that had been refined through repeated iteration.

This model stands out through cohesion instead of novelty. The D-EJ885 is part of the group of models that show how complete the format had become by then.
