DCD 201 OAE

Super Audio CD Player

Meticulously designed circuitry, drive mechanism and

construction reflect the Denons technology and experience

The DCD-ZOtOAE is endowed with Advanced AL32 Processing, a highly accurate master clock and latest
SZBit/l92 kHz DA converters that dramatically boost the quantity of digital audio information to ensure that the
sound you hear is more faithful to the original source. The newly deSigned Advanced S.V.H. drive mechanism guar-
antees accurate, quiet and high quality playback of SACDs and CDs. The DCD-ZOtOAE is eqUipped With various
digital input ports. including a USB port for connecting an iPod or USB memory and playing music files from those
devices. When these digital Signals are played back through Compressed Audio Restorer, Advanced AL32
Processor and other Denon audio Circuits designed for high sound quality, you will be able to enjoy the music With a

rich ambiance not posSible from those devrces on their own.

High quality sound

Advanced AL32 Processor, technology for

high sound quality

Denons Advanced AL32 Processor expands aur
dio data to 32 bits and uses a proprietary algorithm
to interpolate the data and perform uprconversion
and sampling, achieving a playback sound that is
close to the original source. Since highcperformr
ance devices capable of largercapacity processing
read data samples across a Wide spectrum and
process them in a single stage, they interpolate
signals With greater precision compared With multir
stage digital filters and other such devices. ln
addition, the use of algorithms ideal for frequency
characteristics outside the audible range to filter
sudden bursts of musical data or continuous
sound at high frequencies protects sound quality
from the adverse effects of aliasing noise or drops
in highrrange response The Advanced ALSZ ProcH
essor 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.

DAC master clock design

The DCDHQOTOAE features a highly accurate DAC
as a master of clock signals for all devices. Since
these clock signals are generated by an oscillator
circuit module, it is possible to obtain highly relic
able oscillation unaffected by PC board patterns
and other elements

High-precision 32-bit, 192-kHz DIA converters
Highrprecision 32bit, 192rkHz D/A converters
have been used to bring out the maximum perr
formance of the Advanced AL32 Processor. These
D/A converters transmit differential output to each
channel to improve sound quality during playback.

Newly developed Advanced S.V.H. Disc Drive
Mechanism

Since Super Audio CD rotates at high speed, the
drive mechanism itself is a source of considerable
vibration. To thoroughly suppress that vibration,
the drive mechanism has been completely reder
signed The mechanism itself has been mounted
at the loW center to optimise the weight balance. lt
features two layer top cover and an aluminium die
cast tray to suppress vibration. In addition, this
8 V H. (Suppress Vibration Hybrid) loader coma
bines different materials optimsed for stability and
reading accuracy.

Complete separation of digital and analog
power supplies

To eliminate mutual interference between the digital
and analog circuits, the DCD72010AE has adopted
a dual transformer configuration in Which the poWer
supplies for these circuits are completely separated.
By using OFC Wire coils for the analog transformer
and positioning the transformers in an orientation
that avoids the effects of spurious magnetic flux
on each other, the S/N ratio and a sense of energy
have been greatly improved Cast aluminium With
superior vibrationrabsorbing characteristics Was
used for the base of the transformer when it was
mounted onto the chassis to suppress vibration
not only from the transformer itself but from other
internal parts and the outside as well. Together With
sound quality capacitors employed in the power
circuit, this dual transformer configuration produces
a base that improves power supply stability and
enhances highrduality sound playback capabilities.

Minimum signal paths, to protect signal purity
Signal paths have been made thoroughly simple
and straight to ensure a pure playback sound The
minimization of signal paths prevents signal degra
dation between circuits.

Precision Direct Mechanical Ground
Construction, to thoroughly suppress vibration
Thorough vibrationrresistant measures have been
adopted to prevent internal and external vibration
from adversely affecting sound quality. The bottom
plate is triplerlayered and a dualrlayered cover has
been used for the top plate to thoroughly eliminate
vibration. For the side panel, a dualrlayered hybrid
construction combining different materials also supp
presses resonance The disc drive mechanism has
been mounted at the centre of the main chassis
and its centre of gravity has been lowered. optimise
ing weight balance throughout the DCD72010AE
and thoroughly suppressing any influences from
internal and external vibration on sound quality.

Plays various types of digital content in high
quality USBfiPod

This port lets you connect an iPod or USB memory
device and directly play WMA or MP3 music files
stored on these devices. Since digital signals from
the USB port pass through the DCD72010AEs
highrgrade audio circuitly, you can hear these files
in highrquality sound You can also use the remote
control to select files. File names as Well as other
information can be vieWed on the display too. The
DCD72010AE can even recharge your iPod while it
is connected.

Optical and coaxial digital inputs

With the digital inputs, you can use the DOD
2010AE as a standalone D/A converter. Denons
Advanced AL32 Processor and other highrqualityr
audio circuits in the DCD72010AE let you enjoy a
rich, satisriying sound.

(Supports PCM signals and sampling frequencies
of32r192 kHz.)

Compressed Audio Restorer

The DCDH2010AE lets you select the Compressed
Audio Restorer function when playing files in the
MP3 or WMA sound compression format from from
disc, USB or iPod. This function restores signals
that have been omitted during compression so that
you can hear the sound close to the Way it Was prior
to compression. The sound Will also be richer, as
the deep bass range is corrected at the same time.
The effect of the Compressed Audio Restorer can
be set to one of three levels, or turned off.

Pure Direct mode, for pure enjoyment of music
The DCDHZOtoAE includes a Pure Direct mode
that turns off the display and digital signal output to
create an environment for enloying only the purity
of music When the pulse signals of the digital data
and the display drive are turned off, the audio signal
remains clean and faithful to the original sound.

Parts strictly selected for high sound quality
The DCDQOtOAE's parts have been strictly se
lected on the basis of Denons long experience in
developing audio players. These parts have been
finely tuned to deliver the best possible sound. Mar
chined goldrplated jacks that support highrquality
audio pin cords, for instance, have been used for
the analog audio output terminals.

Useful Functions

Newly-designed remote control unit

The remote control unit that comes with the
DCDrZOl OAE also lets you operate Denon
PMA7201OAE integrated amplifier. Highrgrade
tactilebuttons and other features make this
remote extremely easy to use.
