Denon DCD-1700NE – SACD / CD Player

Denon DCD-1700NE SACD Player / CD Player

Enjoy accurate audio reproduction that’s faithful to the original recording. Thanks to technologies like Advanced AL32 Processing Plus and an ultra-precision D/A Converter (DAC), you’ll hear your favorite songs like never before. The Denon original drive mechanism with S.V.H lets you play back CDs, SACDs, and your own compilations on DVD R/RW with signal purity.

Highlights & Key Technologies

Advanced AL32 Processing Plus
Advanced AL32 Processing Plus supports high-resolution 384-kHz/32-bit audio sources. The algorithms restore information that was lost during the digital recording to ensure detailed playback. Advanced AL32 Processing Plus uses data interpolation algorithms to add 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. Hear your favorites like never before.

Extended disc format support
Enjoy extended disc support for your high-resolution audio collection, including CDs, Super Audio CDs, as well as DSD and high-res files up to 192 kHz/24 bits recorded on DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW discs.

Proprietary Denon disc drive
The Denon original disc drive is built with a high-class S.V.H. (Suppress Vibration Hybrid) mechanism. All elements of the design are focused on delivering optimal accuracy. New, condensed signal paths and circuitry that control pickup and decode noise are minimized to prevent excess noise and preserve sound quality. The hybrid construction of the S.V.H. loader provides stability in the disc drive, allowing for the decoding and signal reading with the upmost accuracy. The low center of gravity of the mechanism suppresses vibration both inside and outside the structure. By eliminating excess vibration, servo-related operations are minimized. The reduction of unnecessary controls and current consumption allows for digital signals to be read from the disc with optimal accuracy.

Sound Master tuned
Carefully tuned with selected audio components and evaluated by the Denon Sound Master to meet Denon’s high standards and distinctive sound for an amazing experience.

DAC Master Clock design
The precisely crafted master clock design includes a high-quality oscillator to suppress jitter, ensure peak precision in D/A conversion, 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 right 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).

Vibration-resistant design
Designed to minimize the vibration of the chassis and reduce the adverse audio effects of heavy components so that sound quality meets Denon standards.

110+ years of firsts in audio technology
Founded in 1910, Denon has a deep heritage of "firsts" in audio technology—from Japan's first audio electronics manufacturer to producing the world's first commercial CDs. This focused investment in audio R&D ensures you get the latest technology and highest quality with every listening experience.

Hi-Res Audio Support
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. 6MHz tracks (the audiophile format of SACD) lets you enjoy each note exactly as the artist intended.

Pure Direct mode
Pure Direct mode ensures clean, detailed, and accurate audio output.

Advanced circuitry with minimized signal path
Circuit 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 in the DCD-1700NE reproduces sound that’s clean, highly transparent, and faithful to the original recording.
