| Content | High quality CD / SACD Player and USB-DAC with Advanced AL32 processing for clean performance
The new CD / SACD Player DCD-1520AE provides purity in design and performance. The advanced AL32 processor, the 32-bit / 192 kHz D / A converter and the new DAC master clock design oscillator with low phase noise and many other technical innovations, such as entry USB-B, certainly characterize as the perfect addition to any other amp on the planet.
To meet today\'s changing demands of HiFi-Delicious, the DCD-1520AE Denon\'s inherited multifarious workmanship as manufacturing precision direct mechanical ground on the basis of three layers, newly developed SVH Loading Mechanism with low center of gravity and extrusion molding aluminum CD holder for perfect reproduction of compact discs combined with the potential computer with direct connection to the USB-B input. Asynchronous USB-B connectivity enables music enjoyment with performance 192kHz / 24 bit and even the bit stream format, known by the SACD, the DSD2.8 and DSD5.6. All digital signals are treated carefully by the Advanced AL32 Processing and the high-grade 32-Bit / 192 kHz DA converters, guaranteeing the slightest details in all tensions. Design DAC Master Clock Circuit reduces distortion and noise and achieves clear sound image.
New and upgraded features:
Advanced AL32 Processing and a new high-precision 32-bit / 192kHz D / A converter, for dramatic improvement in music listening experience

Key to the audiophile performance offered by the CXC CD transport is our S3 servo solution. The vast majority of optical drives in use today are designed with computers in mind. While they can read all manner of disc media, they lack the precision and finesse of a dedicated audio drive. To address this, we have written our own software to precisely control the driveʼs laser and motor assembly.
SIMPLIFYING THE SIGNAL PATH
The CXC is simplicity itself to setup and use, because we handle digital to analogue conversion in our amplifiers. Thereʼs a good reason behind this philosophy. Maintaining the audio signal in the digital domain for as long as possible minimises potential analogue signal degradation. Our CXC transport has one job to do and it does it very well indeed.
Our proprietary Cambridge S3 servo solution effectively turns a universal disc drive into a dedicated CD spinner; it can calibrate and monitor the speed of the disc, holding it steady and constant. By managing where the laser head is and what itʼs reading, as well as maximising error correction, we can get the maximum amount of clean data off the disc as possible, with the minimum jitter.
BUILT TO LAST
The CXC utilises a low-resonance acoustically damped metal chassis, with an ultra-clean low noise power supply. Beneath the hood, our PCB design employs double-sided surface mount technology, which eliminates wire links and ensures an ultra short signal path, thereby reducing signal deterioration.
C-BUS POWER SYNCING
Cambridge C-BUS connection means that one remote can be used to power on and off both CXC and CXA in sync.

The latest addition to the new Marantz MusicLink series is the HD-CD1, a high-quality CD player in the same compact form as the HD-AMP1 amplifier, for which it is the perfect match. Combining more than 30 years of Marantz expertise in compact disc playback with the latest developments in digital audio technology, it's ideal for use as a CD transport when used with the HD-AMP1, or as a CD player in any situation where a compact form-factor is required without any compromise on sound quality. Small it may be, but it makes use of state-of-the-art Marantz technology carried over from our Award-winning CD players, including a high-resolution 192kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog converter from Cirrus Logic, a high-accuracy system clock, and the famous Marantz HDAM-SA2 amplifier modules, as found in our flagship Reference Series CD players and amplifiers. Selected components are also used throughout the audio signal path, for the very best reproduction of your music. A centralized CD mechanism, able to play MP3, WMA and AAC files as well as standard CDs, is also used for ultra-accurate disc-reading and, along with its analog audio outputs, optical and coaxial digital connections are provided, allowing the HD-CD1 to be connected directly to the HD-AMP1's ultra-high-quality digital-to-analog conversion. The HD-CD1 also features the stylish MusicLink design, with a solid aluminum front panel, double-layer chassis for vibration isolation and retro-style side panels. It also includes a high-quality integral headphone amplifier with adjustable gain to drive high-end headphones for personal listening and comes complete with a remote control for all its functions, also able to 'drive' a complete system of HD-CD1 and HD-AMP1. It's a superb Marantz CD player—in miniature!
