To achieve this, the signal paths are as short as possible and the whole circuitry is minimised. The engineers also redesigned the disc drive mechanism brackets and the chassis to eliminate vibration, the great enemy of disc players, and achieve ultra-vibration-resistant performance.
The information on the disc is now read with impeccable accuracy and a clean, high-grade signal is supplied to the DCD-1600NE’s Advanced AL32 Processing Plus circuitry. Besides CD and Super Audio CD playback, the DCD features playback of audio recordings up to PCM192/24 or DSD5.6 recorded on a DVD R/RW for full flexibility and extended access to high resolution audio.
Advanced AL32 Processing and Ultra Precision 192kHz/32bit D/A Converter - Digital recordings beautifully faithful to the original sound

Reads SACD and files on DVD and CD.
It does not recognize CD-Text, not trained in the Cyrillic alphabet. The microcode has never been updated, they could add an alphabet.
An excellent device, I have been using it for several years. It reproduces almost everything that is needed: from rare Audio-CD and SACD to files on rewritten discs, from folk *.mp3 to the aesthetic Hi-ReS formats.
By the way, the device was deprived of Cyrillic, it is not displayed either in the file list or in the text of the tags.
In connection with the worldwide pierce of SACD, I had to master the converting SACD.iso into the *.dsf files and their write on DVD-R. I recommend the result.
The apparatus reproduces musical material correctly, the difference in the information of albums remains is heard.
The apparatus fits well into the line of 1600 and will not bring in tandem with a senior amplifier from the series 2500.
The design is closer to the classics, strict, not minimalistic. He took in black. Prior to this, there was also Denon, a set of mini-hifi blocks in the color of Shampan, I took everything new, in boxes, and the color of the color of the blocks did not match and was insulting. There is no such problem with black.
In height, a player is about 135 mm, which may be a problem in some racks for equipment.

Sound quality
The foreoppical player from Denon, the Japanese assembly, which is quite rare in this price segment, high-quality components were compared in the sound “on the forehead” with Denon DCD-720 on a non-class integral amplifier, the difference in sound, of course, is, but not dramatic. It should open up well in a bunch with a native 1600 amplifier.

Japanese assembly, great sound
No DAC, USB, not all the discs read
Excellent quality SD player from the famous Japanese brand. Very high build quality. Almost all components are branded. The sound is typical Denonovsky: rolled, soft, with bloated bass. It is quite demanding on the strapping. He will not play with cheap intercarries and a full -time power cable. If you take this SD player, be prepared to invest in good cables, then it will play in a completely different way. Of the minuses: Denon DCD-1600NE was greatly simplified compared to the previous model 1520. Remove the DAC, USB-DAC on the rear panel, USB entrance for connecting flash drives and hard drives on the front. Significant functionality has disappeared. Another of the minuses: not all the discs read. On some discs, the general sound of which exceeds an hour, at the end the player stops reading the disk.

Produced in Japan. Beautiful apparatus!
There is no icon Superedio SD at the front, it was applied from above as if the manufacturer was shy to put it !! On the remote control there is no hemp opening of the tray !! The tray was removed from some computer !! There is no way to headphones !! The remaining and lost tracks are not displayed !!!
Wheel a week! Not a delight yet! Used in conjunction with the Sony 570 ES amplifier !! In comparison with the player, the Sony CDP 339 ES is inferior in the details of the sound when listening to the branded CDs, I did not change the digital chains !! Not critical by sound, but there is sediment !!! Maybe for better reproduction you need a Denon PMA-1600NE sailor? If I purchase and the sound will delight I change the review !!!
