Denon DCD-900NE CD player

EISA 2022-2023 BEST PRODUCT - BEST VALUE STEREO SYSTEM

Denon's PMA-900HNE is the perfect choice for music lovers who want an affordable system with extensive functionality and efficient playback. The manufacturer's proven Advanced High Current technology is ready to drive a variety of speakers, and for the first time in the history of Denon integrateds, HEOS wireless streaming and app control complete the connection repertoire, which also includes bluetooth and headphone output. Using the PMA-900HNE with a record player or TV is also possible, and the latter is further facilitated by the amplifier's ability to learn the commands of the TV remote control. When you also grab Denon's equally affordable DCD-900NE CD player, you have a great two-device solution that covers all platforms.

Equipped with advanced AL32 PLUS processing and a USB port, the Denon DCD-900NE CD player reveals the highest quality audio signals from standard CD and USB sources that support high-resolution playback. The instrument's sturdy structure and high-quality materials give a significantly more valuable feel and appearance than one might expect from the instrument's affordable price.

Denon's patented AL32 PLUS processing technology and innovative design ensure that your records are reproduced accurately and faithfully, respecting the original recording. The anti-vibration structure reduces harmful interference and guarantees sound quality to strict Denon standards. The DCD-900NE plays CD, CD R/RW, MP3 and WMA formats. You can also connect a USB stick to listen to studio-grade 192kHz/24bit or DSD 2.8MHz/5.6MHz FLAC files.

AL32 PLUS PROCESSING

The DCD-900NE is equipped with AL32 PLUS processing, Denon's patented analog waveform reproduction technology. AL32 PLUS processing utilizes data interpolation algorithms, oversampling and bit depth expansion. This even restores details that should be located before and after a large amount of data (for example, a dynamic drum beat before and after), smoothing the waveform and restoring information lost during digital recording. As a result, the sound quality is very detailed, liberated and clean.

STABLE AND UNINTERRUPTED

The DCD-900NE is implemented with specially adapted power transformers and improved physical separation of the various audio and digital sections, which reduces both vibration and interference.
