Denon DCD-1700NE
CD/SACD player with Advanced AL32 Processing Plus

Enjoy accurate audio reproduction that's faithful to the original recording. Thanks to technologies like Advanced AL32 Processing Plus and an ultra-precision D/A Converter, you'll hear your favorite songs like never before. The Denon original drive mechanism with S.V.H lets you play back CDs, SACDs, and your own compilations on DVD R/RW with signal purity.
- AL32 Processing
- Proprietary disc drive
- Pure Direct Mode
- DAC Master Clock design
- SACD support

| Advanced AL32 Processing Plus | The latest in analogue waveform reproduction technology, Advanced AL32 Processing Plus uses data interpolation algorithms, up-sampling, and bit-extension to support high-resolution audio. The resulting playback is highly detailed, free of interference, richly expressive in the lower range, and beautifully faithful to the original sound. |
| Denon original disc drive design | The disc drive is built with a high-class S.V.H. (Suppress Vibration Hybrid) mechanism. New, condensed signal paths and circuitry that control pickup and decode noise are minimized to prevent excess noise and preserve sound quality. The hybrid construction of the S.V.H. loader provides stability in the disc drive, allowing for the decoding and signal reading with the upmost accuracy. The low center of gravity of the mechanism suppresses vibration both inside and outside the structure. By eliminating excess vibration, servo-related operations are minimized. The reduction of unnecessary controls and current consumption allows for digital signals to be read from the disc with optimal accuracy. |
| Hi-Res Audio support | The ability to decode Hi-Res Audio ALAC, FLAC, and WAV lossless files up to 24-bit/192-kHz, as well as DSD 2.8 MHz and 5.6MHz tracks (the audiophile format of SACD) lets you enjoy each note exactly as the artist intended. |
| DAC Master Clock design | To accurately synchronize digital circuits, the DAC Master Clock design treats the DAC as the master when clock signals are supplied. Crafted with exceptional quality, the master clock is right next to the DAC, which suppresses jitter and ensures peak precision in D/A conversion. It serves as the reference for semiconductor operation and optimizes digital audio circuitry. Two integrated clock oscillators reduce phase noise, each addressing a sampling frequency (44.1 kHz and 48kHz). |
| Pure Direct mode | Pure Direct mode ensures clean, detailed, and accurate audio output. |
| Advanced circuitry with minimized signal path | Circuit patterns are thoughtfully engineered to make signal paths as short as possible. With shorter circuits, the interference between circuits and left and right channels is reduced, and the adverse influences on audio signals are minimized. As a result, the circuit paths in the DCD-1700NE reproduces sound that's clean, highly transparent, and faithful to the original recording. |

Caring for your Speakers and Amplifiers
To Keep your equipment safe these are some best practices to note. Please be advised that this is only to reduce the risk of misuse and is not an exhaustive list.
Speakers
- Speaker terminals are marked red and black, ensure your amplifier to the speakers are wired on the same colours
- Ensure no loose speaker wire from the red touches a loose wire from the black as this will lead to a short circuit and damage either the speaker, the amplifier or both.
- Not all speakers are designed to play at max volume, kindly consider the pairing of your amplifier and speakers
- Speaker cabinets cannot be replaced please handle with care.
AV & Stereo Amplifiers
- If your amplifier has HDMI ports, ensure all devices are off before plugging in the HDMI cable
- Turn off the amplifier before swoping out or adding speaker cable
- Amplifiers generate heat, place them in a well ventilated space. if possible avoid having anything on top of the unit.
- adding a surge protector can assist with power dips which are likely to damage your devices. Isotek and Furman are industry standard.
- Dusty environments can sometimes lead to accumulation of dust in the electronic components that might affect heat regulation
Shipping & Returns
- Free shipping on orders over R500 within the country.
- Standard delivery within 2–5 business days. Delays will be communicated. This might vary slightly depending on your location.
- Return items in original condition for a full refund. (unopened state)
- Returns that are open/unboxed will be subject to a handling fee. Refunds will only be processed after testing the unit.
