Denon DCD-1700NE: High-fidelity CD player combining performance and elegance

Advanced AL32 Plus Processing

The Denon DCD-1700NE’s performance lies in its advanced AL32 Plus processing. This cutting-edge technology pushes the boundaries of analog waveform reproduction. It utilizes sophisticated data interpolation, upsampling, and bit extension algorithms to support high-resolution audio. The result is incredibly precise, detailed audio playback free from interference and true to the original sound. Low frequencies are richly expressive, providing an immersive sonic experience.

Denon Disc Drive Design

The design of the Denon disc drive is based on a high-quality S.V.H. (Suppress Vibration Hybrid) mechanism. The condensed signal paths and circuits are meticulously designed to reduce unwanted noise. This hybrid structure ensures the stability of the disc drive, enabling signal reading with optimal accuracy. The low center of gravity mechanism suppresses vibrations, minimizing interference and unnecessary controls. These elements contribute to exceptionally pure sound reproduction.

Hi-Res Audio Support

The DENON DCD-1700NE supports a variety of Hi-Res Audio formats, including ALAC, FLAC, WAV up to 24-bit/192 kHz, as well as 2.8 MHz and 5.6 MHz DSD tracks. This comprehensive support allows you to enjoy every note with unparalleled fidelity, just as the artist originally intended. Immerse yourself in the musical universe with breathtaking sonic clarity.

DAC Master Clock Design

Precise synchronization of digital circuits is ensured by the DAC master clock design. This master clock, located near the Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC), eliminates jitter and guarantees maximum A/D conversion. It becomes the reference for semiconductor operation, optimizing digital audio circuits. With two built-in clock oscillators, phase noise is reduced, contributing to exceptional audio quality.

Features: Flexibility and Versatility

The Denon DCD-1700 black offers great flexibility in terms of supported disc formats. It can play CDs, Super Audio CDs, as well as DSD files and high-resolution files up to 192 kHz/24-bit recorded on DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW discs. This versatility allows you to enjoy your high-resolution audio collection in all its splendor.

The CD player is also equipped with an original Denon disc drive, built with a high-class S.V.H. (Suppress Vibration Hybrid) mechanism. Every design element aims to provide optimal precision. Additionally, the CD player is designed to minimize chassis vibrations and reduce unwanted audio effects from heavy components, ensuring sound quality meets the highest standards.

Pure Direct Mode: Unadulterated Sonic Authenticity

The Pure Direct mode of the DENON DCD-1700NE ensures audio reproduction of unparalleled purity and precision. By minimizing signal paths, short circuits reduce interference between left and right channels. This approach guarantees remarkably transparent sound, faithful to the original recording.

Advanced Circuit with Minimized Signal Path

The circuits of the DENON DCD-1700NE are meticulously designed to minimize signal paths. This design reduces interference and negative influences on audio signals, ensuring clean, transparent sound reproduction faithful to the original recording.
