DNP-800NE Silver

The Denon DNP-800NE is a streamer capable of playing Hi-Res audio content (PCM up to 24-bit/192 kHz, DSD up to 5.6 MHz) received over a local network or USB, and also supports the HEOS multi-room ecosystem. To access your home network, you can use two types of connections: LAN (via the Network port) or WLAN (via Wi-Fi). There is also Bluetooth on board. The AirPlay 2 protocol is supported, thanks to which you can organize a multi-room system based on Apple devices and control it using the Siri voice assistant.

Digital-to-analog conversion is handled by a Burr-Brown PCM1795 (32-bit/192 kHz) chip, which captures the finest musical details with stunning clarity. The player has two high-precision clock generators that reduce jitter and operate at sampling rates that are multiples of 48 kHz and 44.1 kHz, respectively. The proprietary Advanced AL32 Processing Plus digital processing technology is used, which uses special data interpolation algorithms and increases the signal sampling rate to smooth out its waveform. As a result, it is possible to restore information lost during digital recording and obtain an accurate, reliable and distortion-free sound. The turntable circuits are equipped with carefully selected high-quality components.

The HEOS ecosystem supported by the Denon DNP-800NE allows you to wirelessly stream Hi-Res audio to any room in your home. At the same time, using the application, access to all audio content of the local network is guaranteed, as well as to streaming services Deezer, SoundCloud, TuneIn, etc. Moreover, all this can be played on all available HEOS devices (including HEOS speakers). For example, you can play the same track in all rooms, or “scatter” different music across different rooms. To control the Denon DNP-800NE, not only the remote control is used, but also voice commands transmitted using the Amazon Alexa personal assistant. Activation of this feature requires an additional Amazon Echo device and installation of the HEOS Home Entertainment Skill app.

The player is equipped with a three-line OLED display, a headphone amplifier with a volume attenuator and the ability to select the gain, as well as a front-mounted USB for external drives. The rear of the case has a built-in Network port (LAN), an optical output and a pair of RCA analog outputs (fixed and adjustable). The network player can be combined with its series brethren PMA-800NE (network amplifier) and DCD-800NE (CD player) into a single universal Hi-Fi system.
