Denon PMA-60 Overview

Enjoy high-resolution stereo sound with the Denon PMA-60 Digital Integrated Stereo Amplifier. The unit features a Class-D amplifier section that incorporates Qualcomm DDFA technology to produce a nuanced yet powerful sound with up to 25W of power per channel at 8 Ohms. When connected to a Mac or Windows computer via the USB-DAC port, the integrated DAC utilizes Advanced AL32 digital audio processing to playback PCM files up to 384 kHz/32-bit, with enhanced dynamic range and improved resolution at low level.

The PMA-60 allows you to input digital audio signals via two optical ports and one coaxial port. The stereo RCA aux input lets you connect an analog device such as a CD player. Bluetooth connectivity with NFC and aptX low latency enables you to stream audio tracks from your Bluetooth-enabled portable devices, with no lip sync issues when playing back audio from video sources.

The headphone output on the front panel features an adjustable output impedance, to ensure optimal sound quality, whether listening to your music with home or professional studio headphones. A crisp OLED display shows the source selected, the sampling frequency and data format, as well as the volume setting when you turn the volume knob.

The PMA-60 ships with a remote control and a USB cable.

Powerful and Detailed Sound
  • Class-D amplifier section incorporates Qualcomm DDFA technology, which realizes higher signal-to-noise ratio and lower distortion compared to conventional Class-D amplifiers.
  • 25W + 25W output at 8 Ohms delivers a nuanced yet powerful sound.
  • Multi-way speaker connectors let you connect speaker cables via bare wire, pin connectors, or banana plug connectors
Advanced AL32 Digital Audio Processing
  • The PMA-60 features the company's Advanced AL32 digital audio processing system, for high-fidelity with your favorite digital audio tracks—also used in Denon's premium audiophile disc players and digital audio components.
