Denon Stereo CD/SACD Player in Black - DCD1700NE

Denon DCD1700NE Stereo CD/SACD Player in Black

The Denon DCD1700NE CD/SACD player combines Advanced AL32 Processing Plus, precision digital-to-analog conversion and a vibration-suppressing S.V.H disc mechanism for faithful, detailed playback. This black component player accommodates commercial CDs and SACDs as well as compatible recorded discs, including DSD files up to 5.6 MHz on DVD media. Stereo RCA, optical and coaxial outputs connect to an external amplifier or compatible digital-input equipment, subject to format-specific digital-output restrictions. For listening through the analog outputs, Pure Direct Mode offers another way to reduce potential noise sources.

Key Features

Extended Format Capability

Keep listening to your CD and SACD collection while making room for music files recorded on compatible discs. On DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW media, playback supports 2.8 MHz and 5.6 MHz DSD, WAV and FLAC up to 192 kHz/24-bit, and ALAC up to 96 kHz/24-bit. CD-R/RW playback accommodates MP3, WMA and AAC, plus WAV, FLAC, ALAC and AIFF files up to 48 kHz/24-bit.

Advanced AL32 Processing Plus

Interpolation, up-sampling and bit extension work together to reconstruct information lost during digital recording, while digital filtering helps reveal recorded detail. A TI PCM1795 digital-to-analog converter and DAC Master Clock Design complement that processing, bringing conversion and digital reconstruction together for accurate disc reproduction.

S.V.H Disc Mechanism

The proprietary Suppress Vibration Hybrid mechanism addresses the physical side of faithful playback. Vibration suppression supports accurate disc reading, while condensed signal paths help limit unwanted noise as the player retrieves the music in your collection.

Sound Master Tuning

Selected audio components and Sound Master listening evaluation establish the intended Denon sound. This listening-led approach draws on the brand's Japanese roots and more than a century of audio development, keeping musical reproduction at the center of the design.

Direct Mechanical Ground Construction

Vibration control extends beyond the disc mechanism to the power transformer. Placing the transformer near the feet directs vibration away from adjacent circuitry, helping keep mechanical movement from interfering with the circuits handling your music.

Pure Direct Mode

When listening through the analog connection, activate Pure Direct to stop digital output and turn off the display during playback, reducing potential noise sources. The DIMMER control is unavailable while this mode is active; press PURE DIRECT again to return to normal operation.

Analog and Digital System Connections

Gold-plated stereo RCA outputs provide a two-channel analog connection to an external amplifier. Optical and coaxial outputs offer alternatives for compatible digital-input equipment, but digital output is not available for every playback format.¹ An amplifier and optical or coaxial cables are not included; a stereo RCA cable is supplied.

Component Controls and System Remote

The supplied system remote handles disc playback and can also operate a separate PMA-1700NE amplifier, which is not included. A black finish, aluminum center front panel and aluminum function, open/close and power buttons give the player a coordinated component appearance. Outside Pure Direct Mode, choose Bright, Dim, Dark or Off for the single-line display.
