Denon has announced two new Hifi products, the PMA-600NE Integrated Amplifier with Bluetooth and the DCD-600NE CD Player.

PMA-600NE Integrated Amplifier

The PMA-600NE Integrated Amplifier is engineered with Denon’s Advanced High Current (AHC) single push-pull circuit power amplification technology, delivering 70 Watts of power-per-channel (4ohm, 1kHz, THD 0.7%, 2 channel). Similar to the Denon 800 and 1600 Series Hifi components, the PMA-600NE features digital connectivity including Bluetooth streaming supported by a 24-bit/192kHz digital-to-analogue converter.

“No product leaves the Denon factory until it has the Sound Master seal of approval, for which our team in Japan meticulously listens to every product to ensure the voicing and build quality is consistent with other Denon New Era series products,” said Shinichi Yamauchi, sound master at Denon. “The new 600 series products have the same precise, clean and powerful Denon sound because they have the same Hi-Fi engineering concept, including advanced components, circuitry, amplification, and layout as other Denon Hi-Fi products. The overall aesthetic, sound quality and design integrity of the PMA-600NE is unparalleled at the price.”

The main power transformer has separate coiled wires for the audio and control circuits as well as an integrated microprocessor that features a Stop Mode. The user-selectable Analogue Mode allows the amplifier to operate as a purely analogue amp by disabling digital inputs as well as Bluetooth. To minimize vibration and the effects of the surrounding environment, the PMA-600NE features direct mechanical sound construction and its proprietary Signal Level Divided Construction (SLDC) chassis. The PMA-600NE features five analogue inputs including a MM Phono input featuring a new high-gain EQ circuit, Bluetooth wireless streaming, two optical inputs and one coaxial input.

DCD-600NE CD Player

The Denon DCD-600NE CD Player supports CD, CD-R/RW, MP3 and WMA formats and features Denon AL32 Processing technology.

The CD player has power transformers fitted immediately above the insulators to prevent unwanted vibration. For listeners looking to elevate the listening experience more, the Pure Direct Mode feeds sound directly to the amplifiers by deactivating the front display that might otherwise colour the sound. Additionally, the circuit design in the DCD-600NE is engineered to make signal paths as short as possible. With layered circuit boards and shorter circuits, the interference between left and right channels is reduced.

Price And Availability

The PMA-600NE Integrated Amplifier at £349 and DCD-600NE CD Player at £249 will be available in September 2019.
