Denon DCD-800NE CD Player

The DCD-800NE contains Advanced AL32 Processing Plus, the latest in analogue waveform reproduction technology. To support high resolution audio sources, the Advanced AL32 Processing Plus uses data interpolation algorithms, which adds in the points before and after large quantities of data, to smooth out the waveform and restore information that was lost during digital recording. This results in a playback that is highly detailed, with expressive lower frequencies and no interference.

With extended disc support, and an integrated front panel USB, the DCD-800NE offers high resolution audio playback in formats such as CD and CD-R/RW, MP3 and WMA, with the USB port supporting DSD 2.8 MHz FLAX, WAV, AIFF and ALAC. These high resolution formats make the most out of the DCD-800NE’s powerful range and quality.

For accurate synchronisation in the digital circuits, a DAC Master Clock design is built into the DCD-800NE that uses the DAC as a master when supplied with clock signals. With the master clock adjacent to the DAC, jitter in the signal is reduced and there is optimal precision in the D/A conversion. Two separate clock oscillators reduce phase noise, and each support a sampling frequency, either 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz, whilst the DAC Master Clock supports multiple sampling frequencies from 44.1 kHz up to 192 kHz as well as DSD 5.6MHz.

Vibration resistant design is incorporated into the DCD-800NE to reduce the adverse effects of heavy components that often produce unwanted resonances. The power transformers are placed at the bottom of the chassis, lessening vibration in the surroundings, giving you only pristine sound. In order to faithfully reproduce recording as close to the original as possible, all the circuit patterns have been carefully considered to make the signal paths as short as possible. The shorter circuits pick up less interference and signal noise, creating a clean and clear audio signal to send to the amplifier. The DCD-800NE CD player also features Pure Direct mode, which bypasses DSP processing circuitry to provide sound directly to the amp, without any colour on the signal, resulting in pure, detailed sound, just as the recording should be.
