DENON PMA-1700NE

Integrated amplifier with three digital inputs, a rear USB-B input, MM and MC Phono inputs, delivering impeccable sound quality from vinyl and high-resolution files up to 384 kHz/32-bit and DSD up to 11.2 MHz. Features include electronic volume control, balance and tone controls to preserve the analog feel, and a Source Direct function that bypasses all tone controls when needed for purer audio.

Equipped with advanced high-current single push-pull amplification, Advanced AL32 Processing Plus, and an MM/MC phono equalizer, the Denon PMA-1700NE integrated amplifier delivers outstanding sound quality with precise detail.

With the power of its high-current single push-pull circuit and Advanced AL32 Processing Plus, the Denon PMA-1700NE preserves the details of the original recording. Listen to your favorite music digitally through the three digital inputs or the rear USB-B input, or switch to analog with the MM or MC phono equalizer and dedicated analog mode.

Features:

• High-power integrated amplifier delivering 140 W per channel; drives speakers with a wide range of impedances for stable operation.
• Advanced AL32 Processing Plus supports high-resolution digital audio sources up to 384 kHz/32-bit; algorithms restore lost information for detailed playback.
• USB-DAC supports DSD signals up to 11.2 MHz and PCM up to 384 kHz/32-bit; jitter-suppressed signals are converted by a high-quality DAC for optimal D/A performance.
• MM and MC phono equalizer supports both MM and MC cartridges with a simple, linear design for improved sound quality.
• High-precision controls: electronic volume control, balance and tone controls for analog-like operation; Source Direct function bypasses tone controls for purer audio.
• Digital optical and coaxial inputs: two optical and one coaxial input supporting PCM signals up to 192 kHz/24-bit.
• External preamplifier input terminals.
• Six-block chassis configuration with “direct mechanical ground” construction.
• Carefully selected components for optimal performance.
