Denon has launched a premium network audio player that is sure to catch the eyes, and ears of serious audiophiles.

The Denon DNP-2000NE offers universal high-resolution playback of digital music files, using its own Ultra AL32 processing algorithms, which restore information that was lost during digital recording. It supports basically any audio format available: MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV, FLAC, ALAC, and DSD.

As Denon explains: “Ultra AL32 Processing utilises data interpolation algorithms and supports high-resolution 192-kHz/24-bit PCM signal input. These algorithms interpolate points that should exist before and after the points in large quantities of data to achieve a smooth waveform that is close to that of the original signal.”

A Quad DAC configuration enables an improved, spatial soundstage, decreasing the low noise level and total harmonic distortion.

Input-wise, this system offers Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and Bluetooth. AirPlay 2 and DLNA, as well as HDMI ARC input to connect your television, two optical and one coaxial digital input, and a USB-DAC input, which allows connection to a computer to access high-resolution audio files, supporting hi-res up to 11.2-MHz DSD and 384-kHz/32-bit PCM input signals.

The HEOS feature allows users to stream music from online services such as Spotify and Apple Music, as well as connecting to other wireless systems in your house.

Basically, you’ll run everything sound-wise through this machine, for richer, clearer audio.

As is basically mandatory these days, it will also allow voice commands through Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple Siri.

With a A$2,400 price tag, this beauty should form the centre point of an enviable audio entertainment system.
