DENON DA-500/DA-500G

Commentary

D/A converter incorporating DENON's unique technology.

It is equipped with an ALPHA processor which is a unique analog waveform reproduction technology.
This technology uses digital data recorded on CDs and other media as a key to reproducing 20-bit quality sound by interpolating digital data to reproduce the analog waveform of the sound when it originally existed in nature.
In addition, when CDs with different recording methods, such as music data with unnecessary bands cut off or pulse data of test CDs, are applied to the Rokuon-ji temple, the cutoff band is automatically changed by judging the input signal.

Real 20-bit Λ S. L. C. is mounted on the D/A conversion part.
Λ S. L. C., a unique digital technology, eliminates 0 cross distortion in principle. In addition, the S/N ratio is greatly improved by using a 20-bit 2 dac D/A conversion method.

It is equipped with digital input of optical Route 3 and coaxial 2 systems of Line 5.

For digital dubbing, each system is equipped with one optical and coaxial output terminal.

Equipped with output phase switching function.

There are 2 color variations of DA 500 in black and DA 500 g in gold.
Only DA-500G is equipped with side wood.
