Amongst the countless novelties happily presented at the Munich High End 2022, it’s time to point out these from electronics giant Denon: the Denon DCD-900NE series integrated HEOS and CD player along with the 1700NE ultra-high current integrated amplifier. .
The new Denon 900 Series components include the first Denon HEOS Built-in amplifier in a full-size chassis, along with a matching CD player. Meanwhile, the Denon PMA-1700NE premium high-current integrated amplifier promises “true audiophile sound.”
Denon DCD-900NE
CD player with Advanced AL32 Processing Plus and USB
With Advanced AL32 Processing Plus and a built-in USB port, the Denon DCD-900NE CD player delivers the highest quality sound from standard CD and USB sources that support Hi-Res playback.
The DCD-900NE plays CDs and CD-R/RWs and is compatible with MP3 and WMA formats. It also allows you to connect a USB memory to play FLAC files up to 192 kHz / 24 bits or DSD 2.8 MHz / 5.6 MHz.
Processing Advanced AL32 Processing Plus
It uses data interpolation, oversampling, and bit stretching algorithms to ensure audio reproduction that is remarkably true to the original sound.
Designed to reduce vibration and interference
Being made with specifically matched power transformers and greater physical separation between the different audio and digital cards, both vibration and interference are reduced.
DAC Master Clock Design
The precision-manufactured master clock design includes a high-quality oscillator to suppress jitter and ensure maximum accuracy in D/A conversion, while optimizing the digital audio circuitry.
PMA-900HNE
Network Integrated Amplifier with HEOS® Built-in for Music Streaming
The Denon PMA-900HNE network integrated amplifier, with AHC (Advanced High Current) amplification design, provides superior sound quality with analog and digital sources. Featuring Phono input and digital inputs for TV sound, as well as network audio streaming with HEOS® Built-in, the Denon PMA-900HNE enhances your listening experience from any source.
Streaming amplifier with analog and digital connectivity

85W AHC (ADVANCED HIGH CURRENT) Integrated Amplifier
Engineered with Denon’s exceptional amplification technology and Advanced High Current Capability (AHC), the PMA-900HNE Integrated Amplifier powers your speakers with 85 watts of power per channel into 4 ohms.
Integrated music streaming via WI-FI, BLUETOOTH AND AIRPLAY 2
Thanks to the Wi-Fi function built into HEOS® Built-in, the PMA-900HNE connects to your home network to give you almost unlimited streaming options. Listen to a wide variety of online music services or connect your smart device via AirPlay 2 or Bluetooth.
MM and MC phono equalizer
The PMA-900HNE includes a phono equalizer that supports MM and MC cartridges. The simple and straightforward design greatly improves sound quality.
Optical and coaxial digital inputs
The PMA-900HNE has three optical and one coaxial inputs and is compatible with PCM signals up to 192 kHz/24 bits to improve the sound quality of televisions and other equipment.
PMA-1700NE
Integrated amplifier with 140 W of power per channel
Thanks to the ultra-high current single push-pull circuit and Advanced AL32 Processing Plus, the Denon PMA-1700NE reproduces every detail of the original recording. Listen to your favorite music in digital format through the three digital inputs or the rear USB-B input or in analog format with the MM or MC phono equalizer and the dedicated analog mode.
Powerful 140W built-in amplifier
Power your speakers with 140 watts of power per channel at 4 ohms. This integrated amplifier is compatible with a wide variety of speakers and impedances to ensure operational stability.
Processing Advanced AL32 Processing Plus
Advanced AL32 Processing Plus is compatible with high-resolution digital sound sources up to 384 kHz/32-bit. Algorithms restore data lost during digital recording to ensure detailed playback.
USB-DAC
The PMA-1700NE features a USB-DAC function that supports Hi-Res Audio signals DSD up to 11.2MHz and PCM up to 384kHz/32bit. These jitter-suppressed digital signals pass through the high-quality DAC for seamless and highly accurate D/A conversion.
MM and MC phono equalizer
The PMA-1700NE includes a phono equalizer that supports MM and MC cartridges. The simple and straightforward design greatly improves sound quality.
High precision electronic controls
The PMA-1700NE is equipped with electronic volume, balance, and tone controls that feature an analog feel. This unique mechanism offers smooth, linear control. A Source Direct function bypasses the tone control to provide the purest sound.
Optical and coaxial digital inputs
