Features of the Denon DCD-1700NE:

• AL32 Processing
• Proprietary disc drive
• Pure Direct Mode
• DAC Master Clock design
• SACD support 

Advanced AL32 Processing Plus
The latest in analog waveform reproduction technology, Advanced AL32 Processing Plus uses
data interpolation algorithms, up-sampling, and bit-extension to support high-resolution audio.
The resulting playback is highly detailed, free of interference, richly expressive in the lower range,
and beautifully faithful to the original sound.

Denon original disc drive design
The disc drive is built with a high-class S.V.H. (Suppress Vibration Hybrid) mechanism.
New, condensed signal paths and circuitry that control pickup and decode noise are minimized
to prevent excess noise and preserve sound quality. The hybrid construction of the S.V.H. loader
provides stability in the disc drive, allowing for the decoding and signal reading with the upmost
accuracy. The low center of gravity of the mechanism suppresses vibration both inside and
outside the structure. By eliminating excess vibration, servo-related operations are minimized.
The reduction of unnecessary controls and current consumption allows for digital signals to be
read from the disc with optimal accuracy.

Hi-Res Audio support
The ability to decode Hi-Res Audio ALAC, FLAC, and WAV lossless files up to 24-bit/192- kHz,
as well as DSD 2. 8 MHz and 5. 6MHz tracks (the audiophile format of SACD) lets you enjoy each
note exactly as the artist intended.

DAC Master Clock design
To accurately synchronize digital circuits, the DAC Master Clock design treats the DAC as the
master when clock signals are supplied. Crafted with exceptional quality, the master clock is
right next to the DAC, which suppresses jitter and ensures peak precision in D/A conversion.
It serves as the reference for semiconductor operation and optimizes digital audio circuitry.
Two integrated clock oscillators reduce phase noise, each addressing a sampling frequency
(44.1 kHz and 48kHz).

Pure Direct mode
Pure Direct mode ensures clean, detailed, and accurate audio output.

Advanced circuitry with minimized signal path
Circuit patterns are thoughtfully engineered to make signal paths as short as possible.
With shorter circuits, the interference between circuits and left and right channels is reduced,
and the adverse influences on audio signals are minimized. As a result, the circuit paths in
the DCD-1700NE reproduces sound that’s clean, highly transparent, and faithful to the
original recording.
