High quality sound

High Bitrate and High Sampling with Advanced AL32 Processing

0

Plus

A high bitrate and high sampling has been achieved with Denon’s
unique data interpolation algorithm. 16 bit audio signals are converted
to a high bitrate of 32 bit and 44.1 kHz sampling signals are up-sampled
by 16x to achieve smoother recreation of sound waves. Data
interpolation is also used, predicting interpolation points from a large
number of surrounding points to provide audio as close as possible to
the original sound. This elaborate restoration of data lost during digital
recording achieves fine, distortion-free rendering, accurate sound
localizing, rich bass and recreation that is faithful to the original sound.

DAC Master Clock Design for the Ideal Clock

0

To make full use of the properties of this unit’s semiconductor, it was
important to use a highly accurate clock signal for the semiconductor’s
operations. This model contains 2 oscillators, one for each frequency.
These oscillators are developed to dramatically decrease phase noise
caused by frequency displacement, achieving a more stable and more
accurate clock than ever before. The master clock is near the D/A
converter, reducing jittering to achieve faithful playback.

High performance

Supports MP3 and WMA file playback (v p. 30)

0

MP3 and WMA files that have been recorded onto CD-R or CD-RW
discs can be played back on this CD player.

Plays USB memory devices (MP3/WMA/AAC/WAV/FLAC/Apple

0

Lossless/AIFF/DSD).

You can play back audio files stored on a USB memory device by
connecting the USB memory device to the USB port.

Reduced power consumption during standby

0

The power consumption in standby mode has been reduced to below

0.2 W in consideration of the environment.

Playback order of files

When there are multiple folders containing music files, the playback order
of folders is automatically set when this unit reads the media. The files in
each folder are played in alphabetical order.

CD-R/CD-RW and USB memory device

For playback of files on CD-R, CD-RW or USB memory device, files in all
folders on the first layer are played first, next on the second layer, then
next on the third layer, and so on in this order.

The playback order displayed on a PC may differ from the actual playback order.

0

The playback order with a CD-R/CD-RW may differ, depending on the writing

0

software.

NOTE

The playback order may differ from the order in which the folders or files were

0

recorded if you delete or add a folder or file on USB. This occurs because of data
recording specifications and is not a malfunction.

About folders and files

Music files recorded on CD-R/-RW and USB memory device are divided
into large segments (folders) and small segments (files).

Files are stored in folders, and folders can be placed for storage in a
hierarchy. The unit can recognize up to 8 levels of folders.

.

When writing music files on a CD-R/-RW disc, set the writing software’s format to

0

“ISO9660”. The files may not play properly if they are recorded in other formats.
For details, refer to the instructions of your writing software.

Explanation of terms

Advanced AL32 Processing Plus

Equipped with Advanced AL32 Processing Plus, Denon’s own analog
waveform reproduction technology.
The reproducibility of weak signals is enhanced by expanding 16 bit digital
data to 32 bit.

AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format)

This is an uncompressed and lossless format for digital audio. Use AIFF
files to burn high-quality audio CDs from imported songs. AIFF files use
approximately 10 MB of disk space per minute.

ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec)

This is a codec for lossless audio compression method developed by
Apple Inc. This codec can be played back on iTunes, iPod or iPhone. Data
compressed to approximately 60 – 70 % can be decompressed to exactly
the same original data.

DSD (Direct-Stream Digital)

One of the audio data recording methods, it is the signal aspect used to
store audio signals on a super audio CD, and is Δ-Σ modulated digital
audio.

FLAC

FLAC stands for Free lossless Audio Codec, and is a lossless free audio
file format. Lossless means that the audio is compressed without any loss
in quality.
The FLAC license is as shown below.

SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGE.

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3)

This is an internationally standardized audio data compression scheme,
using the “MPEG-1” video compression standard. It compresses the data
volume to about one eleventh its original size while maintaining sound
quality equivalent to a music CD.

WMA (Windows Media Audio)

This is audio compression technology developed by Microsoft
Corporation.

WMA data can be encoded using Windows Media® Player.
To encode WMA files, only use applications authorized by Microsoft

Corporation. If you use an unauthorized application, the file may not work
properly.

Sampling frequency

Sampling involves taking a reading of a sound wave (analog signal) at
regular intervals and expressing the height of the wave at each reading in
digitized format (producing a digital signal).

The number of readings taken in one second is called the “sampling
frequency”. The larger the value, the closer the reproduced sound is to the
original.

Dynamic range

The difference between the maximum undistorted sound level and the
minimum discernible level above the noise emitted by the device.

Front panel Display Rear panel Remote Index

53

Contents Connections Playback Settings Tips Appendix

Bit rate

This is the amount of audio data recorded on a disc that is read in one
second.

Finalizing

This process enables DVD/CD recorded with a recorder to be played by
other players.

Linear PCM

This is an uncompressed PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) signal. Unlike
lossy compression audio sources such as MP3, no audio quality or
dynamic range deteriorates.
