Denon PMA-1700NE

Key Technologies

• Ultra AL32 Processing is the latest in analog waveform reproduction technology from Denon.
• Power transformers are fitted near the bottom and immediately above the insulators to prevent unwanted vibration. The vibration surrounding the chassis is reduced, resulting in pristine sound.
• The ability to decode Hi-Res Audio ALAC, FLAC and WAV lossless files up to 24-bit/192-kHz, as well as DSD 2.8MHz and 5.6MHz tracks (SACD) lets you enjoy each note exactly as the artist intended.
• The circuit patterns have been engineered to make signal paths as short as possible, reducing interference to reproduce sound that’s clean, highly transparent, and faithful to the original recording.
• Denon Moving Coil (MC) phono preamps feature a low-noise circuit design for minimal signal distortion, and a high-precision equalizer circuit to restore the warmth and natural sound of vinyl.
• Denon Moving Magnet (MM) phono preamps feature a high-precision equalizer circuit to restore the warmth and natural sound of vinyl, and a low-noise signal path for improved fidelity.
• 

  Pure Direct mode turns the display and the digital outputs off to minimize interference that might color the audio signal. What you hear is clean, detailed, accurate sound.
