Advanced Technology Hi-Res Disc Music Player for SACD, CD, DVD-R, and DVD-RW
For superior performance with SACDs and standard CDs, Denon's DCD-1700NE CD/SACD Player uses advanced AL32 Processing Plus. This Denon technology, combined with an innovative circuitry structure, makes sure that recordings are accurate and beautifully faithful to the original sound.
In addition to enjoying CD and SACD discs, the DCD-1700NE plays DSD (2.8 MHz/5.6 MHz) files and high-resolution PCM files up to 192 kHz/24 bits recorded on DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW discs. It also plays music files with sampling frequencies of up to 48 kHz recorded on CD-R/RW discs. Vibration-resistant design and direct mechanical ground construction reduce adverse audio effects, making it possible to deliver a highly engaging audio experience.
In addition to its analog RCA stereo output, the DCD-1700NE also includes one optical and one coaxial digital output. For convenient listening chair operation, a wireless remote comes with the player, too. Batteries included!
Advanced AL32 Processing Plus
The DCD-1700NE is equipped with AL32 Plus technology from Denon for the latest in analog waveform reproduction technology. AL32 Processing Plus utilizes data interpolation algorithms, up-sampling, and bit-extension to support high-resolution audio. It adds in the points that should exist before and after large quantities of data, smoothing out the waveform and restoring information that was lost during the digital recording. The resulting playback is highly detailed, free of interferences, richly expressive in the lower range, and beautifully faithful to the original sound.
New Denon Original Disc Drive Design
The disc drive is built with a high-class S.V.H (Suppress Vibration Hybrid) mechanism. Shortened signal paths and circuitry that control pickup and decode noise are minimized to prevent excess noise and preserve sound quality.
The SVH Loader uses a hybrid construction combining different materials to give stability to the disc drive so that the disc can be read with utmost accuracy. In addition, the mechanism’s low center of gravity suppresses any vibration occurring inside the mechanism due to disc rotation, and the mechanism structure also effectively suppresses external vibration. By eliminating unwanted vibration, servo-related operations are minimized, and by also minimizing unnecessary controls and current consumption, digital signals can be read from the disc with optimum accuracy under stable conditions.
Hi-Res Audio Support
Enjoy extended support for your music collection. The ability to decode hi-res audio ALAC, FLAC, and WAV lossless files up to 24-bit/192 kHz, as well as DSD 2.8 MHz and 5.6 MHz tracks (the audiophile format of SACD) lets you enjoy each note exactly as the artist intended.
DAC Master Clock Design
The precisely crafted master clock design includes a high-quality oscillator to suppress jitter and optimize digital audio circuitry. To accurately synchronize digital circuits, the DAC master clock design treats the DAC as the master when clock signals are supplied. Crafted with exceptional quality, the master clock is immediately adjacent to the DAC, which suppresses jitter and ensures precise D/A conversion. It serves as the reference for semiconductor operation and optimizes digital audio circuitry.
Two integrated clock oscillators reduce phase noise, each addressing a sampling frequency (44.1 kHz and 48 kHz).
Advanced Circuitry with Short Signal Paths
The circuit patterns in the DCD-1700NE are thoughtfully engineered to make signal paths as short as possible. With layered circuit boards and shorter circuits, the interference between circuits and left and right channels is reduced, and the adverse influences on audio signals are minimized. As a result, the circuit paths in the DCD-1700NE reproduces sound that’s clean, highly transparent, and faithful to the original recording.
Pure Direct Mode
For critical listening, experience music playback with Pure Direct Mode on the DCD-1700NE. Pure Direct Mode deactivates the digital output and the display, which might otherwise color the signal. What you hear is cleaner, more detailed, accurate sound quality.
