Denon PMA-1700NE Integrated Stereo Amplifier
The Denon PMA-1700NE is a reference-class integrated stereo amplifier built on over 110 years of Denon audio heritage. Featuring the advanced Ultra-High Current (UHC) single push-pull amplifier circuit, Advanced AL32 Processing Plus at 384kHz/32-bit, a built-in USB-DAC, and a dual MM/MC phono equaliser, the PMA-1700NE delivers extraordinary sound quality with precise detail — whether you're streaming hi-res audio, spinning vinyl, or connecting a CD player.
Key Features
- 70W Per Channel (8Ω): Advanced Ultra-High Current (UHC) single push-pull circuit with wide bandwidth for deep bass, detailed highs, and exceptional drivability across a wide range of speaker impedances.
- Advanced AL32 Processing Plus: Data interpolation algorithms support up to 384kHz/32-bit audio sources, smoothing waveforms and restoring lost digital recording information for richly expressive, faithful playback.
- USB-DAC: Built-in USB-B DAC for direct connection to a computer, supporting hi-res PCM up to 192kHz/24-bit and DSD 2.8MHz/5.6MHz.
- MM & MC Phono Stage: Dual moving magnet and moving coil phono equaliser for direct turntable connectivity with any cartridge type.
- Hi-Res Audio Certified: Decodes FLAC, ALAC, and WAV lossless files up to 192kHz/24-bit, plus DSD 2.8MHz and 5.6MHz (the audiophile format of SACD).
- Digital Inputs: 2× optical and 2× coaxial digital inputs supporting PCM up to 192kHz/24-bit for TV, Blu-ray, media players, and more.
- Source Direct & Analogue Mode: Bypass digital processing and tone controls for a pure, uncoloured signal path.
- 2 Pairs of Speaker Outputs (A/B): Drive two sets of speakers independently or simultaneously.
- Headphone Output: Front-panel 6.3mm headphone jack with dedicated amplification.
- Premium Build: Metal front panel, gold-plated connectors, and precision electrical controls throughout.

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
