Product Information
Advanced CD Playback
Listen to superior audio and masterfully reproduced songs with the Denon DCD-600NE CD Player. With Denon-proprietary AL32 Processing technology, combined with an innovative circuitry structure, ensure recordings are accurately reproduced and beautifully faithful to the original sound. More than a CD player, the DCD-600NE supplies even higher quality audio signals to the amplifier. Vibration-resistant design reduces adverse audio effects of heavy components within amplifiers, guaranteeing the sound quality meets rigorous Denon standards. And with a more than 100-year legacy of crafting audio components, trust Denon to achieve an amazing sound that exceeds your expectations.
AL32 Processing
The DCD-600NE is equipped with AL32 Processing, a proprietary analog waveform reproduction technology from Denon. AL32 Processing utilizes data interpolation algorithms, which add in the points that should exist before and after large quantities of data, smoothing out the waveform and restoring information that was lost during the digital recording. The resulting playback is highly detailed, free of interferences, richly expressive in the lower range, and beautifully faithful to the original sound. Listen to songs as the artist intended.
CD, CD-R/RW, MP3, and WMA Support
Enjoy extended disc support for your cherished music collection. The DCD-600NE plays back your CDs, CD-R/RW, MP3, and WMA formats. Listen to your favorite audio formats and feel the powerful fidelity DCD-600NE provides.
Advanced Circuitry with Minimized Signal Paths
The circuit patterns in the DCD-600NE are thoughtfully engineered to make signal paths as short as possible. With layered circuit boards and shorter circuits, the interference between circuits and left and right channels is reduced, and the adverse influences on audio signals are minimized. As a result, the circuit paths in the DCD-600NE reproduce sound that’s clean, highly transparent, and faithful to the original recording.
Optical Output
The DCD-600NE features one Optical output to connect to the digital input of an amplifier or AV receiver.
Pure Direct Mode
Listen with Pure Direct Mode on the DCD-600NE. Pure Direct Mode deactivates the digital output and the display which might otherwise color the signal. What you hear is a cleaner, more detailed, accurate sound.
Vibration-Resistant Design for Pristine Sound
Vibration-resistant design reduces the adverse audio effects of heavy components within amplifiers so that sound quality meets Denon standards. A power transformer is fitted immediately above the insulators to prevent unwanted vibration. By placing the transformer close to the foot, the vibration surrounding the chassis is reduced, resulting in pristine sound. The name for it is Direct Mechanical Ground Construction. Now in addition to a metal bracket connecting the CD mechanism and chassis to the high-density feet, unwanted resonance is further reduced to deliver pristine sound.
Direct Mechanical Ground Construction
The DCD-600NE features a metal chassis to achieve high mechanical stability to suppress vibration caused by disc rotation.
Build Integrity with Thoughtfully Selected Components
With more than a 100-year legacy of designing premium audio components, trust that your Denon product has undergone rigorous testing. The overall aesthetic, sound quality, and design integrity of DCD-600NE and its Hi-Fi components are built to last.
100+ Years of Firsts in Audio Technology
Founded in 1910, Denon has a deep heritage of "firsts" in audio technology — from Japan’s first audio electronics manufacturer to producing the world’s first commercial CD player and Dolby Atmos-enabled AV receiver. This focused investment in audio R&D ensures you get the latest technology and highest quality with every listening experience.
