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.

Emulating the audio circuit of a high-end SACD player, this unit provides
performance and sound quality that far exceeds its class.
