Features
High quality sound
0High 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.
0DAC 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.
High performance
0Supports MP3 and WMA file playback (v p. 30)
MP3 and WMA files that have been recorded onto CD-R or CD-RW
discs can be played back on this CD player.
0Plays USB memory devices (MP3/WMA/AAC/WAV/FLAC/Apple
Lossless/AIFF/DSD).
You can play back audio files stored on a USB memory device by
connecting the USB memory device to the USB port.
0Reduced power consumption during standby
The power consumption in standby mode has been reduced to below
0.2 W in consideration of the environment.
