Good morning

I have both 598DP and a 596.

The main difference is that the 598 plays DVD-A and I think is the later version.

Both are excellent at CD, although I think the 598 being younger is possibly better.

There is one on eBay at present and they go for shockingly small amounts of money bearing in mind that they are very close in design and performance to a 508/588, in particular the 588, which has super star status and a price tag to match. With the 598, you get 95-98% of performance and DVD-A at around �325-350, depending on condition. The original price of a 598 in 2002 was in excess of �3,000.

The last 598 sold on eBay for around �345, well it didn't sell, the seller came back to HH and sold to a fellow HH as the ebayer didn't complete.

In my humble opinion this is the best place to purchase excellent gear and a reasonable price.

Hope that helps, good luck.

Cheers

Jon
