Top-of-the-range model, it offers all of the manufacturer's engineering and know-how: TI PCM1795 192 kHz/32-bit converters working as a differential output on each channel, Advanced SVH reading mechanics to eliminate vibrations during reading of a disk, complete separation of analog and digital amplifications…
Advanced AL32 Plus Processing
The big novelty of the Denon DCD-1700NE concerns the new AL32 Plus processing with very high computing capacity for quality oversampling for the purpose of sound reproduction close to the original source, even from Hi-Res Audio sources .
Audiophile features
We can also cite the Pure Direct mode to deactivate the display and the digital output in order to avoid any interference on the analog signal, and a Precision Direct Mechanical Ground chassis Construction to improve the stability of the player and carefully selected components. And again a Dac-Master Clock type clock circuit to suppress jitter and background noise for a sound image of great purity. In addition, the Denon DCD-1700NE has two master clocks, each for 44.1 kHz (and its multiples) and 48 kHz, to further reduce jitter.
Connection
The connector has a coaxial output, an optical and a gold-plated RCA stereo output. Last precision, the Denon DCD-1700NE manages, from a CD-R/CD-RW disc, DSD 2.8/5.6 MHz, Wav files up to 192 kHz/24 bits, Alac (96 kHz /24 bit), AIFF (196 kHz/24 bit), Flac (196 kHz/24 bit) and MP3.
Immediate availability, in black or silver. Indicative price: 1,499 euros.
