Connect your favourite components to the PMA-800NE via the three Optical and one Coaxial digital inputs. Powered by the Denon Advanced High Current (AHC) single push-pull circuit power transistor, the PMA-800NE provides exceptional sound quality that balances high power with delicate, musical details.
Power your loudspeakers with the Denon PMA-800NE integrated amplifier. Engineered with remarkable Denon amplifier technology, the PMA-800NE delivers 85 Watts of power-per-channel into 4 Ohms. This integrated amplifier offers compatibility with the widest range of speaker types and impedances for operational stability.
Enjoy powerful sound with detailed, musical accuracy. The PMA-800NE incorporates AHC transistors with two-to-three times the electrical current supply capacity of conventional audio power transistors. Acclaimed Denon AHC Single-Push-Pull Circuit is adapted from high-end models to join the discrete amplifier in the PMA-800NE, producing powerful sound with musical fidelity.
Denon engineers carefully constructed the amplifier circuit within the PMA-800NE to secure a frequency response of up to 100 kHz during applied use. The volume circuit suppresses noise in the amplifier, achieving high sonic resolution. The PMA-800NE handles a wide, dynamic range of high-resolution audio sources with tone control and power throughout.
Analog Mode allows the PMA-800NE to operate as a purely analogue amp, disabling coaxial and optical digital inputs while you listen to an analogue source. Turn on Analog Mode to close power to the dedicated digital power source and stop operation of the digital input circuity, avoiding any high frequency influence on the analogue section of the PMA-800NE. Enjoy your favourite analogue sources with uninhibited clarity and detailed reproduction.
The PMA-800NE includes a phono equalizer that supports input from both MM and MC cartridges. This phono equalizer has high gain, and unlike loops in other circuit board patterns which cause adverse effects on sound quality, the simple, straightforward design of the PMA-800NE phono equalizer significantly improves sound.
The PMA-800NE features three Optical inputs and one Coaxial input and supports PCM signals up to 192 kHz/24 bit. These digital inputs help to improve sound quality of your TV audio, Blu-Ray, media players and more. Also use it to input high-resolution sound from an audio source on your computer.
The micro-processor of the PMA-800NE features a Stop Mode that automatically ceases all operations of the micro-processor when it’s not needed for playback. By stopping the oscillation of the micro-processor clock during these listening moments, the audio signal is protected from external noise and enhances sound quality.
Listen to hi-res audio and masterfully reproduced songs with the Denon DCD-800NE CD Player with integrated USB port. Advanced AL32 Processing Plus, combined with an innovative circuitry structure, ensure recordings are accurately reproduced and beautifully faithful to the original sound. More than a CD player, the DCD-800NE supplies the highest quality audio signals to the amp, and the USB port supports hi-res playback up to PCM192/24 and DSD 2.8 MHz/5.6 MHz. Vibration-resistant design reduces adverse audio effects of heavy components within amplifiers, so sound quality meets Denon standards. And with a more than 100-year legacy of crafting audio components, trust Denon to achieve hi-res sound that exceeds your expectations.
The DCD-800NE is equipped with Advanced AL32 Processing Plus, the latest in analogue waveform reproduction technology from Denon. Advanced AL32 Processing Plus utilizes data interpolation algorithms, which support high-resolution audio sources. The algorithm adds in the points that should exist before and after large quantities of data, smoothing out the waveform and restoring information that was lost during the digital recording. The resulting playback is highly detailed, free of interference, richly expressive in the lower range and beautifully faithful to the original sound. Listen to songs as the artist intended.
Enjoy extended disc and USB support for your modern high-resolution audio collected. The DCD-800NE plays back your CD's, CD-R/RW, MP3 and WMA formats. Or, plug in your USB to hear DSD 2.8 MHz/5.6 MHz, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, ALAC in high-resolution. Listen to your favourite modern hi-res formats and feel the powerful fidelity DCD-800NE provides.
To accurately synchronize digital circuits, the DCD-800NE is built with a DAC Master Clock design that treats the DAC as the master when clock signals are supplied. Crafted with exceptional quality, the master clock is immediately adjacent to the DAC, which suppresses jitter and ensures optimal 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 48 kHz). The DAC Master Clock is exceptional for multiple sampling frequencies from 44.1kHz to 192kHz and even up to DSD5.6MHz, without rounding.
The circuit patterns in the DCD-800NE 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-800NE reproduces sound that’s clean, highly transparent and faithful to the original recording.
The DCD-800NE features one Optical and one Coaxial digital output to connect to the digital input of an amplifier or AV receiver.
Q Acoustics Concept 20
The ‘Concept 20’ is a special loudspeaker whichgoes beyond anything that Q Acoustics has achieved before. It’s abeautifully styled product which we confidently believe delivers alevel of sonic performance previously thought impossible at itsprice point.” To achieve this extraordinary performance, QAcoustics’ design team applied scientific methodology and advancesin technology to address
the problem of cabinet resonance; long recognisedas the single biggest hurdle preventing speaker designersdelivering true ‘high end’ performance at a reasonable price. The‘Concept 20’ proves cabinet resonance need be a problem no longer.*Incorporating a ‘cabinet within a cabinet’ design, its inner andouter enclosures are bound together by a bespoke adhesive whichnever quite sets. This configuration (known as Gelcore™construction) allows the kinetic energy generated by the driveunits within the cabinet to be dispersed as heat and preventingthem colouring and degrading the
speaker’s musical output. Combine this new cabinetdesign with the Concept 20’s advanced, high dynamic, low distortiondrive units and the result is a loudspeaker which, at its price, isnothing short of sensational.
