DENON DCD-S10III

Commentary

CD player equipped with AL24Processing.

It is equipped with AL24 Processing, an original analog waveform reproduction technology.
The AL24 Processing inherits the technology of the ALPHA Plocessing, reduces quantization distortion further, and supports high-bit and high-sampling of next generation media.
The AL24Processing achieves 24-bit quality reproduction of input 16-bit digital data with greatly improved processing accuracy. It also supports 96 kHz sampling frequency. With 24-bit quality reproduction, the ability to reproduce music at low-level playback, such as when music disappears silently or starts from silence, is enhanced.

The D/A D/A converter is used for the D/A converter.
The multi-24-bit D/A converter is less susceptible to fluctuations in the power supply voltage (current), and the in-band quantization distortion level is constant regardless of frequency, enabling clear playback with less noise.
The DCD-S10III has a 4 dac configuration in which two D/A converters are used for each channel in differential operation. This configuration, combined with Λ S. L. C., which theoretically eliminates 0 cross distortion, realizes excellent sound even for minute signals.

A cast metal base with excellent vibration damping characteristics is used for the mechanism and transformer part to suppress the effect of vibration from the mechanism and transformer part, which is a vibration source, on sound quality.
In addition, it employs a center mechanical mount with high structural stability, a mechanical cover that reduces the effect of vibration from the drive mechanism to the circuit, a large sintered alloy insulator with vibration absorbing material attached, a 15 mm thick front panel, a triple structure bottom cover and double structure top cover to completely eliminate sound degradation caused by vibration from inside and outside.
The chassis is plated with copper to prevent interference from high-frequency noise.

The tray is made of a highly vibration-resistant coating containing protein. In addition, it is equipped with a lightweight and highly rigid aluminum die-cast shaft receiver with excellent vibration control, and a plate attached to the lower part of the tray to prevent delicate deformation of the tray, ensuring stable rotation and absorbing vibration, enabling highly accurate signal reading.

Equipped with an HDCD decoder, it is possible to draw out the characteristics of high resolution and low distortion that are characteristic of HDCD-compatible discs when playing back.

It can be used as a stand-alone D/A converter with one optical and one coaxial external digital input terminal.
The digital input is compatible with 96kHz/24bit digital signals such as DVD, and can also be used as a digital selector since the digital input can be switched by the Source selector of the main unit.

High-performance pickup is used for the pickup part.
This pickup has a simple structure with a minimum number of parts to improve trace accuracy, reliability and durability.
Combined with the excellent anti-vibration performance of the S. V. H. loader, it realizes high-precision signal reading.

In addition to the digital and analog circuits, the transformer and circuit board are separated to prevent the deterioration of sound quality caused by digital signals.
In addition, the digital system is compact to minimize interference with the analog system, and the highly conductive copper plated chassis reduces the influence of electromagnetic waves on sound.

Equipped with a digital servo.
This circuit detects the condition of the disk and adjusts it to achieve optimum servocontrol for each disk.

We use carefully selected parts such as detachable extra-thick power cords using OFC wires, ICs such as D/A converters, resistors, capacitors, and wiring materials.

Wireless remote control is included.
