1. HC-TR output circuit for both subtlety and power

A single push-pull circuit using an HC-TR (high current transistor) based on the same principles as the UHCMOS used in the POA-S1, DENON’s top grade monaural power amplifier, achieves both stable a high current supply and excellent low level signal linearity. The result is an extremely high level of both subtlety and power.

2. Strong power circuitry supporting the expressive abilities of the HC-TR output circuit

The strong power circuitry consisting of high speed rectifier diodes and large high sound quality block condensers allow the HC transistor output circuit to be used to its maximum potential.

3. S.L.D.C.

The DRA-F101 uses an S.L.D.C. (Signal Level Divided Construction) with the ideal separation of the different circuits (low level signal circuit, high level signal circuit, microprocessor circuit, etc.)

4. Source Direct function for improved sound quality

The DRA-F101 is equipped with a source direct function that bypasses the bass, treble, loudness and balance control circuits to achieve a simple signal path, contributing to keeping the sound pure.

5. AM/FM tuner with random 40-station preset function

6. System remote control unit

The DRA-F101 comes with a system remote control unit that can be used to control the CD player (DCDF101) (when used system connections only).

7. Low standby power consumption

The power consumption when the power is in the standby mode is reduced to 1W or less.
