Built with Best-in-Class Electrical Components

Every electrical component in the PMA-150H was carefully selected and custom-designed by Denon sound engineers to ﬁnetune audio performance and meet the highest quality standards. Enjoy the highly detailed sound of Denon with precision and power.

Advanced AL32 Processing Plus

Advanced AL32 Processing Plus is the latest in analogue waveform reproduction technology from Denon. This creates a highly detailed audio experience, free of interference, richly expressive in the lower range and beautifully faithful to the original sound. It supports highresolution audio sources, with the algorithms adding in the points that should exist before and after large quantities of data. This smoothens out the waveform and restores information that was lost during the digital recording.

High-Resolution Audio

Enjoy music with superior detail and precision. Through HEOS Built-in, this ampliﬁer decodes Hi-Res audio ALAC, FLAC and WAV lossless ﬁles up to 192kHz/24-bit, as well as DSD

2.8MHz and 5.6MHz tracks (the audiophile format of SACD).

Optical, Coaxial Digital, USB-A and USB-B Input

The PMA-150H features two Optical inputs, one Coaxial input, and a USB-A port to enjoy improved sound from any source. These digital inputs help to improve sound and visual quality of your TV audio, Blu-ray, media players and more.
