High Bitrate and High Sampling with Advanced AL32 Processing
Plus
A high bitrate and high sampling has been achieved with Denon's
unique data interpolation algorithm. 16 bit audio signals are converted
to a high bitrate of 32 bit and 44.1 kHz sampling signals are up-sampled
by 16x to achieve smoother recreation of sound waves. Data
interpolation is also used, predicting interpolation points from a large
number of surrounding points to provide audio as close as possible to
the original sound. This elaborate restoration of data lost during digital
recording achieves fine, distortion-free rendering, accurate sound
localizing, rich bass and recreation that is faithful to the original sound.
0
DAC Master Clock Design for the Ideal Clock
To make full use of the properties of this unit's semiconductor, it was
important to use a highly accurate clock signal for the semiconductor's
operations. This model contains 2 oscillators, one for each frequency.
These oscillators are developed to dramatically decrease phase noise
caused by frequency displacement, achieving a more stable and more
accurate clock than ever before. The master clock is near the D/A
converter, reducing jittering to achieve faithful playback.

Advanced S.V.H. Mechanism & Direct Mechanical Ground
Construction
Advanced S.V.H. Mechanism, each individual part, including the disc
tray made of Xylon with 2 metal damper plates, is composed of different
metallic materials each designed for their specific purpose. This
produces outstanding vibration-damping properties, including damping
enhancement and diffusion of the resonance point due to the high
mass. The mechanism is designed with a low center of gravity, reducing
vibration from the inner area during disc rotation, and its structure is
also highly resistant to external vibration. It also employs Direct
Mechanical Ground Construction, which completely eliminates the
impact of internal and external vibration, for example by locating the
power transformer close to the foot. This prevents the transmission of
unwanted vibration as well as noise outflow.

Explanation of terms
Advanced AL32 Processing Plus
Equipped with Advanced AL32 Processing Plus, Denon’s own analog
waveform reproduction technology.
The reproducibility of weak signals is enhanced by expanding 16 bit digital
data to 32 bit.
AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format)
This is an uncompressed and lossless format for digital audio. Use AIFF
files to burn high-quality audio CDs from imported songs. AIFF files use
approximately 10 MB of disk space per minute.
Apple Lossless Audio Codec
This is a codec for lossless audio compression method developed by
Apple Inc. This codec can be played back on iTunes, iPod or iPhone. Data
compressed to approximately 60 – 70% can be decompressed to exactly
the same original data.
DSD (Direct-Stream Digital)
One of the audio data recording methods, it is the signal aspect used to
store audio signals on a super audio CD, and is Δ-Σ modulated digital
audio.
FLAC
FLAC stands for Free lossless Audio Codec, and is a lossless free audio
file format. Lossless means that the audio is compressed without any loss
in quality.
The FLAC license is as shown below.

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3)
This is an internationally standardized audio data compression scheme,
using the “MPEG-1” video compression standard. It compresses the data
volume to about one eleventh its original size while maintaining sound
quality equivalent to a music CD.
WMA (Windows Media Audio)
This is audio compression technology developed by Microsoft
Corporation.
WMA data can be encoded using Windows Media
®
Player.
To encode WMA files, only use applications authorized by Microsoft
Corporation. If you use an unauthorized application, the file may not work
properly.
Sampling frequency
Sampling involves taking a reading of a sound wave (analog signal) at
regular intervals and expressing the height of the wave at each reading in
digitized format (producing a digital signal).
The number of readings taken in one second is called the “sampling
frequency”. The larger the value, the closer the reproduced sound is to the
original.
Dynamic range
The difference between the maximum undistorted sound level and the
minimum discernible level above the noise emitted by the device.
Downmix
This function converts the number of channels of surround audio to a
lower number of channels and plays back according to the system’s
configuration.
Contents

Bit rate
This is the amount of audio data recorded on a disc that is read in one
second.
Finalizing
This process enables DVD/CD recorded with a recorder to be played by
other players.
Linear PCM
This is an uncompressed PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) signal. Unlike
lossy compression audio sources such as MP3, no audio quality or
dynamic range deteriorates.
