High quality sound
• High precision 24-bit 192 kHz D/A converter;
Denon engineers used rigorous listening tests to select theDCD-510AE’s high-precision 24-bit/192 kHz D/A converter.This converter and the audio circuit design that Denon hasdeveloped over many years masterfully reproduce thedelicate nuances of music in the audio signal.
• 8 times over sampling digital filter
The DCD-510AE’s 8-times oversampling digital filterensures that the digital sound you hear is as pure andclear as possible over the entire audio spectrum. All signalsfrom the lowest to the highest levels are well balanced andof exceptional quality.
• Thoroughly vibration-resistant design with Direct Mechanical Ground Construction
The power transformers, themselves a source of vibration,have been placed near the ground and immediately abovethe insulators to allow direct release to the ground andthoroughly prevent the propagation of unwanted vibrationor noise.
• Original Denon mechanism with central assembly drawer unit
The CD drive mechanism has been placed at the centreof the DCD-510AE’s chassis to balance the weight of thebody, and a bracket has been added between the chassisand the mechanism to strengthen the rigidity of the chassisbottom. Vibration that occurs while the drive’s motor operatesis also suppressed to an absolute minimum so that it doesnot affect sound quality.
• Carefully designed construction to preserve audio signal purity
To further eliminate adverse influences on the audio signal, theDCD-510AE’s transformer has been mounted in a positionthat keeps leakage flux away from the audio circuit.
• Minimum signal path design
“Simple & Straight” is Denon’s hallmark approach toensuring that the audio signal is reproduced with utmostfidelity. The DCD-510AE’s construction and circuit designensure the simplest possible signal path, thoroughly isolatedfrom adverse influences. The sound you hear is thusbeautifully clean and transparent.
• Strictly selected parts for high sound quality
To ensure that the DCD-510AE produces a sound thatsurpasses the quality expected in its class, Denon engineershave carefully selected parts for the audio section, thepower unit and other areas on the basis of their contributionto high sound quality. The patterns for the digital circuitshave been specially designed to provide maximum protectionfrom unwanted radiation and achieve low impedance.
• Display dimmer function (normal brightness, 2/3 , 1/3, off)
The DCD-510AE’s display dimmer function lets you darkenthe listening room to suit your mood when listening to music.
