DCD-900NE CD Player with Advanced AL32 Processing Plus and USB

The Denon DCD-900NE CD Player reveals the highest quality audio signals from standard CD and USB sources supporting high-res playback.

Advanced AL32 Processing Plus

Explore the world of cutting-edge analog waveform reproduction with our Advanced AL32 Processing Plus technology. This innovative system incorporates data interpolation algorithms, up-sampling, and bit-extension to elevate your high-resolution audio experience. The result is playback that boasts exceptional detail, a complete absence of interference, impressive richness in the lower frequency range, and an unwavering commitment to the original audio.

Support for High-Resolution Audio

Our system is engineered to decode high-resolution audio formats, including ALAC, FLAC, and WAV lossless files, offering support for up to 24-bit/192-kHz. Furthermore, it effortlessly handles DSD 2.8MHz and 5.6MHz tracks, the preferred format among audiophiles for SACD. This ensures that every musical note reaches your ears precisely as the artist intended, with a focus on clarity and precision.

DAC Master Clock Design

At the heart of our system is the DAC Master Clock Design, which emphasizes accuracy and precision. By treating the DAC as the master when supplying clock signals, we ensure an exceptionally high standard of quality. Crafted with unparalleled attention to detail, the master clock is positioned in close proximity to the DAC, effectively reducing jitter and enhancing precision during digital-to-analog conversion.

Cutting-Edge Circuitry

Our cutting-edge circuit patterns are engineered with the sole purpose of minimizing signal path length. Shorter circuits are the key to reducing interference, resulting in sound reproduction that is exceptionally clean, transparent, and loyal to the original recording.

Pure Direct Mode

Elevate your listening experience with Pure Direct Mode, a feature that enhances your audio quality by deactivating the display and digital outputs. This reduction in interference ensures that what you hear is characterized by its cleanliness, detail, and accuracy.

Vibration-Resistant Design

Our system's vibration-resistant design is meticulously crafted to minimize the adverse audio effects caused by heavy components in hi-fi products. The strategic placement of power transformers near the bottom, just above insulators, prevents unwanted vibrations. This design choice effectively reduces chassis vibrations, resulting in a pristine sound experience.
