Features

High quality

0Equipped with a high-quality class D amplifier

The amplifier section incorporates Qualcomm® DDFATM technology

from Qualcomm. The output stage circuit has a discrete construction

which realizes higher S/N and lower distortion compared to

conventional class D amplifiers. Additionally, the high 50 W+50 W (4 Ω/

ohms) output which exceeds the size of the housing lets you enjoy

Denon’s ideal audio playback environment that delivers “delicate yet

powerful sound”.

Qualcomm DDFA is a product of Qualcomm Technologies International, Ltd. Qualcomm is

0High Bitrate and High Sampling with Advanced AL32 Processing

Plus

A high bitrate and high sampling has been achieved with Denon's

unique data interpolation algorithm. 16 bit audio signals are converted

to a high bitrate of 32 bit and 44.1 kHz sampling signals are up-sampled

by 16x to achieve smoother recreation of sound waves. Data

interpolation is also used, predicting interpolation points from a large

number of surrounding points to provide audio as close as possible to

the original sound. This elaborate restoration of data lost during digital

recording achieves fine, distortion-free rendering, accurate sound

localizing, rich bass and recreation that is faithful to the original sound.
