Useful Functions

Newly-designed remote control unit

High quality sound

Advanced AL32 Processor, technology for high sound quality
Denons Advanced AL32 Processor expands audio data to 32 bits and uses a proprietary algorithm to interpolate the data and perform up-conversion and sampling, achieving a playback sound that is close to the original source. Since high-performance devices capable of large-capacity processing read data samples across a wide spectrum and process them in a single stage, they interpolate signals with greater precision compared with multi-stage digital filters and other such devices. In addition, the use of algorithms ideal for frequency characteristics outside the audible range to filter sudden bursts of musical data or continuous sound at high frequencies protects sound quality from the adverse effects of aliasing noise or drops in high-range response. The Advanced AL32 Processor reproduces the delicate nuances of music, as well as spatial information such as the position of the artist and the breadth, height, and depth of the stage, in a more natural manner.
for all devices. Since these clock signals are generated by an oscillator circuit module, it is possible to obtain highly reliable oscillation unaffected by PC board patterns and other elements.
and a dual-layered cover has been used for the top plate to thoroughly eliminate vibration. For the side panel, a duallayered hybrid construction combining different materials also suppresses resonance. The disc drive mechanism has been mounted at the centre of the main chassis and its centre of gravity has been lowered, optimising weight balance throughout the DCD-2010AE and thoroughly suppressing any influences from internal and external vibration on sound quality.
High-precision 32-bit, 192-kHz D/A converters

High-precision 32-bit, 192-kHz D/A converters have been used to bring out the maximum performance of the Advanced AL32 Processor. These D/A converters transmit differential output to each channel to improve sound quality during playback.
Complete separation of digital and analog power supplies
To eliminate mutual interference between the digital and analog circuits, the DCD-2010AE has adopted a dual transformer configuration in which the power supplies for these circuits are completely separated. By using OFC wire coils for the analog transformer and positioning the transformers in an orientation that avoids the effects of spurious magnetic flux on each other, the S/N ratio and a sense of energy have been greatly improved. Cast aluminium with superior vibration-absorbing characteristics was used for the base of the transformer when it was mounted onto the chassis to suppress vibration not only from the transformer itself but from other internal parts and the outside as well. Together with sound quality capacitors employed in the power circuit, this dual transformer configuration produces a base that improves power supply stability and enhances high-quality sound playback capabilities.
Play various types of digital content in high sound quality
- Optical and coaxial digital inputs With the digital inputs, you can use the DCD-2010AE as a standalone D/A converter. Denons Advanced AL32 Processor and other high-quality-audio circuits in the DCD-2010AE let you enjoy a rich, satisfying sound. (Supports PCM signals and sampling frequencies of 32-192 kHz.) -USB port, for connecting an iPod or USB memory (*1 When you connect an iPod or USB memory (containing WMA/ MP3 files) to the DCD-2010AEs USB port, you can play the music files stored on these media. The battery is also charged while connected. When you connect the iPod, you can even continue listening to the track that was in play before connection. Since the iPod transmits digital signals, the sound you hear as they pass through the DCD-2010AEs audio circuitry is of much higher quality.
*1) Supports USB mass storage class.
Denons Disc Drive Mechanism, core technology for digital disc playback
Since Super Audio CD rotates at high speed, the drive mechanism itself is a source of considerable vibration. To thoroughly suppress that vibration, the motor shaft in the DCD-2010AE has been shortened as much as possible, and the drive motor has been placed close to the turntable. Misalignment of the laser beam axis and the angle of the turntable or pickup mechanism base affect disc reading accuracy. To eliminate such mechanical variations and ensure high accuracy in signal playback and playability, corrections have been made for each unit individually. In addition, a S.V.H. (Suppression Hybrid Construction) loader of a hybrid construction combining different materials gives stability to the disc drive so that the disc can be read with optimum accuracy.

Minimum signal paths, to protect signal purity
Signal paths have been made thoroughly simple and straight to ensure a pure playback sound. The minimization of signal paths prevents signal degradation between circuits.
Compressed Audio Restorer
The DCD-2010AE lets you select the Compressed Audio Restorer function when playing files in the MP3 or WMA sound compression format from disc or USB. This function restores signals that have been omitted during compression so that you can hear the sound close to the way it was prior to compression. The sound will also be richer, as the deep bass range is corrected at the same time. The effect of the Compressed Audio Restorer can be set to one of three levels, or turned off.
Precision Direct Mechanical Ground Construction, to thoroughly suppress vibration
Thorough vibration-resistant measures have been adopted to prevent internal and external vibration from adversely affecting sound quality. The bottom plate is triple-layered

The DCD-2010AE includes a Pure Direct mode that turns off the display and digital signal output to create an environment for enjoying only the purity of music. When the pulse signals of the digital data and the display drive are turned off, the audio signal remains clean and faithful to the original sound.
Parts strictly selected for high sound quality
The DCD-2010AEs parts have been strictly selected on the basis of Denons long experience in developing audio players. These parts have been finely tuned to deliver the best possible sound. Machined gold-plated jacks that support high-quality audio pin cords, for instance, have been used for the analog audio output terminals.

The remote control unit that comes with the DCD-2010AE also lets you operate Denon PMA-2010AE integrated amplifier. High-grade tactile buttons and other features make this remote extremely easy to use.
