Advanced Ultra High Current MOS
Single Push-Pull Circuit
The amplifier features Advanced UHC (Ultra High Current)-MOS technology that utilizes a minimum number of high-current amplifier elements to balance advanced speaker drive capabilities and improved sound quality.
Advanced UHC-MOS is an ideal amplifier whose power supply performance is superior to that of bipolar transistors and incorporates the sound quality advantages of MOS-FETs. The Advanced UHC-MOS is provided in a single push-pull configuration that eliminates deviations in the amplification stage and balances high power with delicate musical details. This circuit masterfully reproduces the full sonic range, from the delicate musical nuances to the powerful climaxes of rich musical expression.
Advanced AL32 Processing Plus
Supporting 384-kHz/32-bit PCM input
For digital input, the PMA-1600NE employs Advanced AL32 Processing Plus, the latest version of Denon’s
analogue waveform reproduction technology which utilizes unique data interpolation algorithms and also
supports high-resolution 384-kHz/32-bit PCM signal input. These algorithms interpolate points that should
exist before and after the points in large quantities of data to achieve a smooth waveform that is close to
that of the original signal. By carefully restoring data that was lost during digital recording,
the resulting playback sound is highly detailed, free of interference, accurately localized, richly expressive
in the lower range, and beautifully faithful to the original sound.
Digital isolator
and Analog Mode
The PMA-1600NE is equipped with a high-speed digital isolator to eliminate adverse influences
on sound quality caused by high-frequency noise from a USB-connected computer or from the PMA-1600NE’s
digital inputs. Since data is transferred magnetically via coils embedded in an IC chip, the input
and output sides are electrically isolated. By isolating the signal line between digital audio circuitry
and the D/A converter, adverse influences of high-frequency noise on analogue audio circuitry after
the D/A converter are eliminated. The PMA-1600NE also adopted a dedicated secondary winding in power
transformer for the digital circuitry to shut out noise from the power source. During analogue audio playback,
the Analog Mode can be used to turn off power to the dedicated digital power source and completely
stop operation of the digital input circuitry to avoid any high frequency influence to the analogue section.
Analog Mode also turns off the fluorescent display, allowing the PMA-1600NE to operate as a purely
analogue amp (during Analog Mode, USB-B, coaxial digital, and optical digital inputs are disabled).
USB-DAC supporting 11.2-MHz DSD and 384-kHz/32-bit PCM
The PMA-1600NE provides USB-DAC functions that support high-resolution 11.2-MHz DSD and 384-kHz/32-bit PCM
input signals. DSD transmission methods support ASIO native playback and DSD Audio over PCM Frames (DoP).
Since asynchronous transfer is controlled by the PMA-1600NE’s master clock rather than the clock of a computer
the transfer is free of jitter. The D/A converter used in the PMA-1600NE is the same 384-kHz/32-bit and DSD
capable top class DAC used in the DCD-1600NE to deliver a clean, high-grade sound.
MM/MC phono equalizer
The PMA-1600NE includes a phono equalizer that supports input from both MM and MC cartridges.
This phono equalizer has high gain, and as loops in the circuit board pattern can cause adverse
effects on sound quality, the “simple & straight” design represents a significant improvement.
On the PMA-1600NE, the MM/MC toggle switch was changed from a push type to a relay type, which shortens
the pattern on the circuit board and makes signal loops smaller, allowing delicate analogue signals to
be amplified with greater purity.
System remote controller
and clear view front display
The PMA-1600NE comes with a system remote control unit that can also operate the DCD-1600NE
and other Denon CD players. The low noise FL display on the product front panel gives source
and sample rate indication.
