Made to Change Your Expectations of What a Modestly Priced
Integrated Amplifier Delivers: 85Wpc Denon PMA-800NE Features 24-Bit/192kHz
DAC, MM/MC Compatibility, Analog Mode, Much More
How much audiophile performance can you wring out of an
integrated amplifier for less than $600? As demonstrated by the Denon
PMA-800NE, more than anyone likely thought. Bolstered by a 24-bit/192kHz DAC
and Advanced High Current single push-pull circuit power amplifier, the 85Wpc
PMA-800NE comfortably drives most speakers and unleashes sonics distinguished
with both slam and grace, impact and delicacy. An onboard MM and MC phono
equalizer means you can spin vinyl LPs to your heart's content. Analog Mode
allows PMA-800NE to operate as a purely analog amplifier, bypassing coaxial,
digital, and optical inputs when activated to eliminate potential interference
and yield cleaner, more detailed music reproduction.
Constructed to deliver pristine playback, PMA-800NE boasts a
vibration-resistant, Signal Level Divided Construction chassis and a power
transformer equipped with a 1.6mm-thick steel plate to the mount to kill
resonance dead. The transformer also touts separate coiled wires for the audio
and control circuits to eliminate interference. To extending protection from
noise, PMA-800NE's microprocessor has a Stop Mode that automatically ceases its
operation when it isn't involved in playback. Five analog inputs, three optical
inputs, and a coaxial input – as well as a headphone amplifier – invite you to
go to town and connect everything to PMA-800NE. You can control it all with the
supplied remote.
For the price, flexibility and all-rounder abilities don't
come much, if any, better. 100% Music Direct Guaranteed.
Analog Mode
Analog Mode allows PMA-800NE to operate as a purely analog
amp, disabling coaxial, digital and optical digital inputs while you listen to
an analog source. Turn on Analog Mode to close power to the dedicated digital
power source and stop operation of the digital input circuity, avoiding any
high frequency influence on the analog section of PMA-800NE. Enjoy your
favorite analog sources with uninhibited clarity and detailed reproduction.
MM and MC Phono Equalizer
PMA-800NE includes a phono equalizer that supports input
from both MM and MC cartridges. This phono equalizer has high gain, and unlike
loops in other circuit board patterns that cause adverse effects on sound
quality, the simple, straightforward design of this phono equalizer
significantly improves sound.
Direct Mechanical Ground Construction for Pristine Sound
Vibration-resistant design reduces the adverse audio effects
of heavy components within amplifiers. The power transformer – the largest
vibration source among amplifier components – is outfitted with a 1.6mm-thick
steel plate to the mount, suppressing vibration created by the transformer as
well as external vibration toward the transformer. By directly supporting the
transformer with a steel plate, the vibration surrounding the chassis is
reduced resulting in pristine sound.
Optical and Coaxial Digital Inputs
PMA-800NE features three optical inputs and one coaxial
input and supports up to 24-bit/192kHz PCM. The digital inputs help to improve
sound and visual quality of your TV audio, Blu-ray, media players, and more.
You can also use it to input sound from an audio source on your computer.
Microprocessor Stop Mode
The micro-processor of PMA-800NE features a Stop Mode that
automatically ceases all operations of the micro-processor when it's not needed
for playback. By stopping the oscillation of the microprocessor clock during
such listening moments, the audio signal is protected from external noise and
enhances sound quality.
