Denon DCD-2500NE silver

The DCD-2500NE is a player focused on the fundamental aspects of a disc player, namely very high precision disc reading and transmission of high quality audio signals to the amplifier. To this end, we have reduced the signal path and overall circuitry as much as possible.

The engineers have also redesigned the support and chassis of the disc player mechanism to eliminate vibrations, which are the main problem with disc players, and to provide excellent resistance to vibrations. Read the disc information with incredible accuracy, providing a clear, high-quality signal to the DCD-2500NE’s Advanced AL32 Processing Plus circuitry. In addition to CD and SACD playback, audio files up to PCM192/24 or DSD5.6 recorded on DVD R/RW can be played back with high-resolution sound.

Advanced S.V.H. Denon’s own drive mechanism

The design of the DCD-2500NE disc player includes a reference-class Advanced S.V.H (Suppress Vibration Hybrid) mechanism. New circuits have been developed to control the pickup and decode the signal read from the disc. The signal path is as short as possible and the circuitry is minimized to avoid surges or noise. To enhance its rigidity, some parts of the mechanism are made of different materials: stainless steel and copper alloy plates on the top panel, die-cast aluminum on the disc tray, and 2mm thick steel on the mechanism support. Improved high mass, patented anti-vibration and echo point dispersion increase the level of vibration protection. It also lowers the center of gravity of the mechanism, thus suppressing internal vibrations within the mechanism due to disc rotation. The mechanism structure also effectively suppresses external vibrations. It eliminates unwanted vibrations to minimize servo-related operation, while minimizing unnecessary control and power consumption, in order to read the digital signals from discs very accurately in a stable state.

Advanced AL32 Processing Plus

The DCD-2500NE incorporates Advanced AL32 Processing Plus, the latest analog waveform replication technology that utilizes Denon’s proprietary data interpolation algorithms and supports high-resolution sound sources. This algorithm creates a smooth waveform that closely resembles the original signal by inserting points that should be before and after points in large amounts of data. Restoring data lost during digital recording ensures that the playback sound is highly detailed and free of interference. In addition, the bass sound is rich and faithful to the original sound.

Power supply for analog audio circuits only

The newly developed high-capacity block capacitor (3300 µF) from Denon is used as the power supply unit for the analog audio circuit behind the D/A converter. The DCD-2500NE also comes with custom components such as high-quality electrolytic capacitors and polyphenylene sulfide capacitors. These custom parts are components that have undergone repeated listening tests and were developed in collaboration with component manufacturers. These parts provide precise, powerful, and reliable power. The result is a powerful and detailed sound.
