Features of the Denon DCD-1700NE: AL32 Processing Proprietary disc drive Pure Direct Mode DAC Master Clock design SACD support Advanced AL32 Processing PlusThe latest in analog waveform reproduction technology, Advanced AL32 Processing Plus usesdata interpolation algorithms, up-sampling, and bit-extension to support high-resolution audio.The resulting playback is highly detailed, free of interference, richly expressive in the lower range,and beautifully faithful to the original sound. Denon original disc drive designThe disc drive is built with a high-class S.V.H. (Suppress Vibration Hybrid) mechanism.New, condensed signal paths and circuitry that control pickup and decode noise are minimizedto prevent excess noise and preserve sound quality. The hybrid construction of the S.V.H. loaderprovides stability in the disc drive, allowing for the decoding and signal reading with the upmostaccuracy. The low center of gravity of the mechanism suppresses vibration both inside andoutside the structure. By eliminating excess vibration, servo-related operations are minimized.The reduction of unnecessary controls and current consumption allows for digital signals to beread from the disc with optimal accuracy. Hi-Res Audio supportThe 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. 6MHz tracks (the audiophile format of SACD) lets you enjoy eachnote exactly as the artist intended. DAC Master Clock designTo accurately synchronize digital circuits, the DAC Master Clock design treats the DAC as themaster when clock signals are supplied. Crafted with exceptional quality, the master clock isright next to the DAC, which suppresses jitter and ensures peak precision in 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 48kHz). Pure Direct modePure Direct mode ensures clean, detailed, and accurate audio output. Advanced circuitry with minimized signal pathCircuit patterns are thoughtfully engineered to make signal paths as short as possible.With 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 inthe DCD-1700NE reproduces sound that’s clean, highly transparent, and faithful to theoriginal recording.
