Denon DCD1700NESP Stereo CD/SACD Player in Silver
The Denon DCD1700NESP CD/SACD player in Silver combines Advanced AL32 Processing Plus, a proprietary S.V.H disc mechanism and support for DSD files up to 5.6 MHz on compatible data discs. Built for two-channel home stereo listening, it plays Super Audio CDs, CDs and compatible CD/DVD audio compilations with precision digital-to-analog conversion. Direct Mechanical Ground Construction helps manage vibration, while Sound Master tuning supports faithful musical reproduction. Fixed analog RCA outputs and optical and coaxial digital outputs offer connection choices, with SACD listening available through the analog outputs.
Key Features
Advanced AL32 Processing Plus
Fine musical detail starts with how digital information is processed. Advanced AL32 Processing Plus uses interpolation, upsampling and bit extension to support detailed digital reproduction, bringing the focus back to accurate playback of your disc collection.
Proprietary S.V.H Disc Mechanism
Disc playback involves moving parts as well as audio circuitry. The proprietary S.V.H mechanism suppresses vibration, while shortened signal paths help limit noise. Together, these design choices address mechanical disturbance and signal routing in the pursuit of faithful sound.
SACD, CD and High-Resolution Data Discs
Keep listening to favorite albums on Super Audio CD and CD, or bring personal audio compilations into your stereo system on compatible recorded discs. DVD R/RW supports WAV and FLAC files up to 192 kHz/24-bit and DSD files up to 5.6 MHz; CD-R/RW supports WAV and FLAC up to 48 kHz/24-bit. ALAC support reaches 96 kHz/24-bit on DVD R/RW and 48 kHz/24-bit on CD-R/RW. MP3, WMA, AAC and AIFF playback adds further flexibility for compatible files.
Direct Mechanical Ground Construction
Vibration control extends beyond the disc drive. Placing the transformer near the feet helps direct vibration away from the circuitry, addressing how mechanical energy travels through the player rather than relying on the drive mechanism alone.
Sound Master Tuning
Component selection is part of the listening experience, not just the specification sheet. Selected audio components undergo Sound Master evaluation to achieve Denon's intended sound, complementing the processing and low-noise engineering behind accurate music reproduction.
Pure Direct Mode and DAC Master Clock Design
A TI PCM1795 192 kHz/32-bit DAC handles digital-to-analog conversion alongside DAC Master Clock design. You can select Pure Direct Mode with its front-panel control. This is a disc-based stereo source, not a network-streaming player.
For two-channel SACD listening, connect the fixed, gold-plated RCA outputs to your stereo amplifier. Optical and coaxial connections provide digital output for CD playback; SACD audio is not transmitted through those digital outputs.
Silver Finish and Convenient Listening Controls
The Silver finish pairs with an aluminum center front panel and aluminum function, power and open/close buttons. Use the supplied system remote for CD player and compatible amplifier control, or adjust the single-line display to Bright, Dim, Dark or Off to suit your listening room.
