DENON PMA-1600NE Black

Denon is one of the rare audio brands that has continued to actively develop Hi-Fi components and accumulate, refine, and pass down Hi-Fi audio technologies. The performance of the PMA-1600NE goes well beyond that of Denon’s previous PMA-1500 series. With its ultimate built-quality, unique Denon technologies and state-of-the-art connectivity, the PMA-1600NE truly is a masterpiece of sound technology. Thanks to the rear USB-B input and embedded high-quality D/A converter, the PMA plays high-resolution files up to 384kHz/32bit and DSD up to 11.2MHz from a computer in impeccable sonic quality. For the best performance from analogue inputs, the PMA-1600NE features an Analog Mode which allows to switch off all unutilised sections like the digital input circuitry or the low-noise display for an unaltered audio reproduction.

Key Features:

• 2x140W (4 Ohm) output - enough power even for big rooms
• DAC master clock design - jitter-free audio reproduction
• Rear USB-B input - high-resolution audio playback up to 384kHz/32bit and 11.2MHz DSD
• Digital isolator to eliminate high-frequency computer noise on the USB-B or digital inputs
• FL display for source and sample rate indication
• Analog AMP Mode for switching off digital audio circuitry and display
• Direct mechanical ground construction - minimises unwanted vibration
• Chassis construction with 6 independent blocks - eliminates noises between the circuits

Delivering Clean, High-Grade Sound

The PMA-1600NE provides USB-DAC functions that support high-resolution 11.2-MHz DSD and 384-kHz/32-bit PCM input signals. DSD transmission methods support ASIO native playback and DSD Audio over PCM Frames (DoP). Since asynchronous transfer is controlled by the PMA-1600NE’s master clock rather than the clock of a computer the transfer is free of jitter. The D/A converter used in the PMA-1600NE is the same 384-kHz/32-bit and DSD capable top class DAC used in the DCD-1600NE to deliver a clean, high-grade sound.
