Denon PMA-1600NE Integrated Amplifier with DAC

Pros

Universal, modern.

Minuses

There is no switching outputs to acoustics.

Review

People with a hearing that do not suffer from technology with an audiosophy will appeal the apparatus. In the amplifier there is a phonorrector for connecting a turntable, a DAC for connecting to a PC or tablet, smartphone. In principle, a tablet with an adapter in a DAC for USB/Lightning removes the need for a separate media player. There are analog and digital entrances. The amplifier is relatively easy to use. Directly transformed by sound, which is noticeable. The amplifier must be heated when placed in close conditions. He warms up as analog equipment in half an hour after turning on, and not as an audiophilia six months after the purchase. The "modest" 70 watts (on the channel, at 8 Ohms) require a spaciousness to strengthen and scope from 1/4 of the volume adjustment. Therefore, in a typical room for 15 square meters, he is crowded.

Pros

Convenient control from the remote control, excellent exit to the AC, music is the class

Minuses

The headphone exit disappointed, the phonor -corrector is weak, better (subjectively) sounds from the phono -corrector from the turntable

Review

I compared the sound from the headphones of the D7200 directly from the media player and the stereo system. The stereo -amplifier loses in beauty, you have to display the timbre (both) to the maximum, but the brightness in the picture of the sound relatively direct inclusion in the media player appeared. Unfortunately, I bought a diabetes without a direct exit and the sound on the speakers is better than on the headphones. This is the first case in my many years of practice.

Pros

Excellent manufacturing quality, "beautiful" scheme, stylish design.

Minuses

An overstated price, a wretched remote control, a timbre -block for an amateur.

Review

Was acquired to replace the old, but legendary Harman-Kardon HK-675. Numerous recommendations of "audiophiles" and purely Japanese origin played their role in the choice. However, the first comparative listening to the “on the go” revealed that this amplifier for wealth and power in the low -frequency range and nearby does not stand with its cheaper colleague in China. Even the lower range Denon does not overlap complete pallor to the rest of its spectrum. Maybe from the point of view of audiophilia, this is a sign of the “correct bass”, but I personally prefer to rely on the reliability of the sound, and not an imposed flavor. Another unpleasant surprise was that for some reason the Japanese engineers seemed interesting to the idea that the timbral block in the oscillator was corrected only in the strip above 100-120 Hz. Dense and elastic bass, of course, is good, but this is not about this particular case. With the HF, things are much better, although not without comments that can already be attributed to the nit -picking. Otherwise, this unit at its considerable price did not demonstrate any advantages. By the way, the DAC in sound also does not exceed the cheaper analogues that will reveal any comparative “blind” test. And one more “itching” question for Japanese engineers - on what kind of Lyad they stuck two consistently connected transformers? The rest of the amplifier can be considered relatively balanced, but devoid of universality, because There are many audiomaterials, where in its case and in the absence of subtleal systems, as in younger models, you can’t do without a sub, especially with such features of a timbre block, when to use it once again, there is no desire. The only reason I put 4 stars of this unit is that he personally costs me for only 90 thousand, since he does not sound at all for the announced money, and the remote control is just an egregious example of the buzz of its manufacturers: if this is given The model belongs to the premium line, they could ensure the equipment as all-metal as in the PMA-2500, and not with a penny plastic disgrace.

Pros

A purebred Japanese, a good DAC on board, a corporate Denonov sound.

Minuses

Denon plays well with acoustics with metal squeaks, silk has a slight drawback of high.

Review

What is the plus of the denon - buying it, you already know how it will play with one or another acoustics. Denon’s bass is slightly bloated and dirty. He needs bright acoustics. He listened to him with tusks, Dali, PSB - there were not enough high frequencies. With metal squeaks, tape, it plays perfectly.

Pros

The sound is excellent.

Minuses

Definitely high price

Review

I don’t know, 2 thousand bucks for such an amplifier, in my opinion, is a little expensive. Yes, the sound is gorgeous. Denon, as usual, gives out a bright, dynamic, powerful sound. I had 710, listened to 1,500. They also have a Japanese assembly. And now Kiaty. Unless except for the tops. Therefore, for the added entrance to Yusby, raise prices to heaven, it seems to me not ok

For this money, I did not hear better.

Minuses

Price.

Review

I am a Soviet person, there were many amplifiers in life, radio engineering, especially electronics 017 pleased, I.Dr. Over time, I switched to Pioneer and finally got what I wanted, the topic was closed with the amplifier. This is an amplifier of the time of the USSR (ideologically) made in Japan using modern technology. Nothing for this money, you better not buy. For $ 200 you can solder yourself, who can and will be even better. For unbelievers, I listened to a lot of slag like a grinder and some others, all the laughs. P.S. When I listened to a gramplast, the quality is simply awesome. Need a good original and speakers.

Pros

High -quality phonorrector and DAC.

Minuses

Review

I use to listen to vinyl in pairs with acoustics Dali Opticon 8 and the vinyl player Audio-Technica AT-VP5, in the room of 40 square meters. m. Before it was Maratz 6005. As for the sound quality, I did not notice any changes. It became louder, in principle, that's all. But I was pleased with the phonor -corrector, which is better. And DAC with DSD support. I recommend for everyone to get a high -quality amplifier with additional "chips".
