Denon PMA1600NE - Integrated Amplifier The Denon PMA1600NE is a premium integrated amplifier that delivers exceptional sound quality with advanced Denon technologies and robust build quality. It supports high-resolution audio playback up to 384kHz/32bit and DSD up to 11.2MHz, making it ideal for audiophiles seeking pure and detailed sound reproduction. Key Features 2 x 140 W (4 ohm) output – powerful enough for large rooms Advanced Ultra High Current (UHC)-MOS Single Push-Pull Circuit with Schottky barrier diodes for wide bandwidth sound from deep bass to detailed highs DAC Master Clock Design for jitter-free audio reproduction Rear USB-B input supporting high-resolution audio playback up to 384 kHz / 32 bit and 11.2 MHz DSD Digital isolator eliminates high-frequency computer noise on USB-B and digital inputs Fluorescent (FL) display shows source and sample rate information Analog Mode switches off digital circuitry and display for pure analogue audio reproduction Advanced AL32 Processing Plus for faithful digital waveform reproduction Direct Mechanical Ground Construction minimises unwanted vibration Chassis with 6 independent blocks to eliminate circuit interference Main transformer with separate power supplies for analogue and digital circuits preserves audio purity 2 Digital Optical and 1 Digital Coaxial inputs; high-performance MM & MC Phono Equalizer Amp Available in Premium Silver and Black, perfectly matching the DCD-1600NE Super Audio CD Player Advanced Ultra High Current MOS Single Push-Pull Circuit The amplifier features Advanced UHC-MOS technology that uses a minimal number of high-current amplifier elements to balance powerful speaker drive capabilities with superior sound quality. This single push-pull configuration eliminates amplification deviations, delivering a full sonic range from delicate musical nuances to powerful climaxes. 6-Block Chassis Configuration & Direct Mechanical Ground Construction The PMA-1600NE chassis consists of six independent blocks housing the phono equalizer, input circuitry, volume control, USB-DAC, amplification, power section, and control section. Constructed from 1.0mm thick steel plates, the chassis protects signal circuits from external vibration and eliminates mutual interference. The centrally positioned power section with heat sinks and ABS resin feet minimises unwanted vibration, ensuring superior sound quality. Advanced AL32 Processing Plus Supporting 384kHz/32-bit PCM input, this technology uses unique data interpolation algorithms to restore lost digital recording data, producing smooth waveforms close to the original signal. The result is highly detailed, interference-free playback with accurate localisation and rich expression. Digital Isolator and Analog Mode The high-speed digital isolator eliminates high-frequency noise from USB-connected computers and digital inputs by magnetically isolating signal lines. A dedicated secondary winding in the power transformer further reduces noise. Analog Mode disables digital circuitry and the fluorescent display for pure analogue audio playback, disabling USB-B, coaxial, and optical digital inputs during this mode. USB-DAC Supporting 11.2-MHz DSD and 384kHz/32-bit PCM The PMA-1600NE’s USB-DAC supports high-resolution 11.2-MHz DSD and 384kHz/32-bit PCM signals with ASIO native playback and DSD Audio over PCM Frames (DoP). Asynchronous transfer controlled by the amplifier’s master clock eliminates jitter. The DAC is the same top-class model used in the DCD-1600NE, ensuring clean, high-grade sound. MM/MC Phono Equalizer Featuring a high-gain phono equalizer supporting both MM and MC cartridges, the PMA-1600NE uses a simple and straight circuit design to reduce signal loops and improve sound purity. The MM/MC toggle switch is relay type, shortening circuit board patterns for enhanced analogue signal amplification. System Remote Controller and Clear View Front Display The included system remote control operates the PMA-1600NE as well as the DCD-1600NE and other Denon CD players. The low-noise FL display on the front panel clearly indicates source and sample rate information. Specifications - PMA-1600NE
