- DCD-2020AE
With more than 100 years of company heritage, Denon has never stopped pushing the frontiers on classic 2-channel HiFi. The result is the company’s new top of the range power amplifier PMA-2020AE and CD/SACD Player DCD-2020AE. Both sum up all of the engineers’ dedication and know-how within their beautifully shaped bodies.
The DCD-2020AE is a Super Audio CD player that lets you enjoy not only CDs but also sound sources from a PC or portable audio device such as an iPhone in high audio quality. On the rear panel is a USB-B port that lets you connect a PC and enjoy music files from it through the sophisticated audio circuitry of the DCD-2020AE, while on the front panel is a USB-A port that lets you do the same with music stored on an iPhone, iPod, or USB memory. Impeccable sound quality from the DCD-2020AE is possible thanks to hallmark Denon audio technologies such as Advanced AL32 Processing, DAC Master Clock design, Disc Drive Mechanism, and Direct Mechanical Ground Construction.
Advanced AL32 Processing + Ultra Precision 192kHz/32bit D/A Converter
DAC Master Clock Circuit Design to suppress jitter and noise
Direct Mechanical Ground Construction to minimize unwanted vibration
Carefully designed construction, minimum signal paths and selected Hi-Fi parts to preserve audio signal purity
Original drive mechanism, the heart of Denon’s digital disc playback technology, with S.V.H. loader
Twin Transformer for separated digital and analogue power supply
Pure Direct Mode
Front USB input: iPod / iPhone digital compatible, supports USB mass storage device
Rear USB-B input: asynchronous mode and 192kHz/24bit capable (dedicated driver available under "Downloads & Manuals")
SPDIF input (optical/coaxial) for upgrading other equipment
