Type: PMA1700 NE Black

  • Denon Integrated amplifier with USB-DAC

The PMA-1700NE high-current integrated amplifier boasts of an “outstanding audiophile-grade listening experience”, offering 140W per channel. It’s compatible with a range of analogue and digital sources with optical and coaxial inputs, A/B speaker and subwoofer outs, and there are also inputs for moving magnet and moving coil phono cartridges to appease vinyl enthusiasts.

The amplifier supports high-resolution digital audio up to 32-bit/384kHz and 11.2MHz DSD, with a high-performance DAC that “effectively suppresses jitter for best performance”. We’re also assured of a vibration-resistant design for maximum isolation, as part of a premium package including gold-plated speaker terminals and analogue source-inputs to prevent corrosion, with Denon describing the PMA-1700ME as being “beautifully built to last.”

  • Unit (W x D x H):  434 x 410 x 135mm
  • Amplifier Type: UHC (Ultra High Current)-MOS Singled Ended Push-Pull.
  • Power Output: 70 watts x 2 (8 ohms, 20hz to 20khz, .07% THD), 140 watts x 2 (4 ohms, 1 khz, .7% THD)
  • Audio Processing (Advanced AL32 Processing Plus): This feature supports high-resolution 384khz/32-bit input signals as well as provides the best possible sound quality from any source via its signal restoring algorithms.
