DCD 151 OAE

Super Audio CD Player

Advanced AL32 Processing Lets You Hear

the Delicate Nuances of Music

The DOD-1510AE features the same Advanced AL32 Processing of Denons high-class DCD-ZOWOAE. This techno-
logy dramatically enhances information volume from the CD to produce a sound more faithful to the original. The
DCD-iSiOAE also has a USB port for directly receivrng digital tracks stored on an iPod or USB memory. When digi-
tal audio signals are input from an external device, they pass through Advanced AL32 Processing and other crrcwts
developed by Denon to maximise sound quality. allowing you to experience a depth of sound not possible with the
portable audio device by itself.

High quality sound

Advanced AL32 Processor and high-preci-
sion32-bit, 192-kHz D/A converters, to repro-
duce the original sound

Denon's Advanced AL82 Processor expands
audio data to 32 bits and uses a proprietary al
gorithm to interpolate the data and perform upr
conversion and sampling, achieving a playback
sound that is close to the original source Since
highrperformance devices capable of large
capacity processing read data samples across a
Wide spectrum and process them in a single stage,
they interpolate signals With greater precision come
pared With multirstage digital filters and other such
devices. in addition, the use of algorithms ideal for
frequency characteristics outside the audible range
to filter sudden bursts of musical data or COiiller
ous sound at high frequencies protects sound
quality from the adverse effects of aliasing noise
or drops in highrrange response The Advanced
AL32 Processor reproduces the delicate nuances
of music, as well as spatial information such as the
position of the artist and the breadth, height, and
depth of the stage. in a more natural manner

To ensure that the Advanced AL32 Processor perr
forms at its maximum potential. the DCDrlSiOAE
has been fitted with highrprecision 32bit. 192*kHz
D/A converters. These D/A converters transmit dllr
ferential output to each channel to improve sound
quality during playback. These converters let you
enioy minute details of music with remarkable clarr
ity, including the acoustic resonances of concert
halls.

Denon's Disc Drive Mechanism, core
technology for digital disc playback

Since Super Audio CD rotates at high speed, the
drive mechanism itself is a source of considerable

Main Specifications

vibration. To thoroughly suppress that vibration, the
motor shaft in the DCDrlSiOAE has been short
ened as much as possible. and the drive motor
has been placed close to the turntable. Misalignr
ment of the laser beam axis and the angle of the
turntable or pickup mechanism base affect disc
reading accuracy. To eliminate such mechanir
cal variations and ensure high accuracy in signal
playback and playability. corrections have been
made for each unit individually. in addition, a S.\/.l-t.
(Suppression Hybrid Construction) loader of a
hybrid construction combining different materials
gives stability to the disc drive so that the disc can
be read With optimum accuracy.

DAC master clock design, to suppress jitter
and noise

The DCDrtfitOAE features the same type of DAC
that is used in our highrclass CD player as a masr
ter of clock signals for all devices. Since these
clock signals are generated by an oscillator circuit
module, it is possible to obtain highly reliable osciir
lation unaffected by PC board patterns and other
elements.

circuitry isolated from transformer coils

The digital and analog circuits have been sepa
rated from the transformer coils to minimise mutual
interference

Minimum signal paths, to protect signal purity

ital and analog signals have also been mounted
in separate locations Within the chassis, and the
power unit for the analog signals has been placed
near the analog circuit board to shorten the path
from the power circuit and achieve lower impede
ance. These design improvements further ensure
a stable supply of current and playback of a spa

Precision Direct Mechanical Ground
Construction, to thoroughly suppress vibration
The disc drive mechanism, designed With a low
centre of gravity, has been placed at the centre of
the main chassis and mounted at a lower position
compared to conventional CD players to further imr
prove resistance to vibration The mounting struc7
ture has also been simplified to reduce the number
of resonance points. The adverse influences of
both internal and external vibration on sound quality
are now negligible.

USB port for playback of digital tracks from
iPod or USB memory

The DCD71501AE includes a USB port that lets
you play digital music files directly from your iPod
or USB memory i ii The signals pass through the
DCDrtSiOAE's Advanced AL32 Processor and
highrprecision 32bit, 1927kl-tz D/A converters to
give you extremely satisfying, highrquality sound.
You can also use the remote control unit to select
files, and file names and other details can be dis
played. The iPod can also be recharged during
playback.

playback.

Parts with a track record for high sound quality
Denon engineers have strictly selected parts that
have passed a battery of listening tests based on
their many years of experience developing top
quality audio equipment. The sound of the DOD
iStOAE has been carefully tuned to achieve a level
of quality that is one rank above other players in
this class
