Features

High quality sound

High Bitrate and High Sampling with Advanced AL32 Processing

Plus

A high bitrate and high sampling has been achieved with Denon's

unique data interpolation algorithm. 16 bit audio signals are converted

to a high bitrate of 32 bit and 44.1 kHz sampling signals are up-sampled

by 16x to achieve smoother recreation of sound waves. Data

interpolation is also used, predicting interpolation points from a large

number of surrounding points to provide audio as close as possible to

the original sound. This elaborate restoration of data lost during digital

recording achieves fine, distortion-free rendering, accurate sound

localizing, rich bass and recreation that is faithful to the original sound.

DAC Master Clock Design for the Ideal Clock

To make full use of the properties of this unit's semiconductor, it was

important to use a highly accurate clock signal for the semiconductor's

operations. This model contains 2 oscillators, one for each frequency.

These oscillators are developed to dramatically decrease phase noise

caused by frequency displacement, achieving a more stable and more

accurate clock than ever before. The master clock is near the D/A

converter, reducing jittering to achieve faithful playback.

Advanced S.V.H. Mechanism & Direct Mechanical Ground

Construction

Advanced S.V.H. Mechanism, each individual part, including the disc

tray made of Xylon with 2 metal damper plates, is composed of different

metallic materials each designed for their specific purpose. This

produces outstanding vibration-damping properties, including damping

enhancement and diffusion of the resonance point due to the high

mass. The mechanism is designed with a low center of gravity, reducing

vibration from the inner area during disc rotation, and its structure is

also highly resistant to external vibration. It also employs Direct

Mechanical Ground Construction, which completely eliminates the

impact of internal and external vibration, for example by locating the

power transformer close to the foot. This prevents the transmission of

unwanted vibration as well as noise outflow.

Reduced power consumption during standby

In consideration of the environment, power consumption during standby

has been reduced to 0.1 Watts or better.
