Denon PMA-1700NE 140W Stereo Integrated Amplifier (Black)
Key Features
  • 2-Channel Amplifier Configuration
  • Up to 70W per Channel at 8 Ohms
  • High Current Single Push-Pull Circuit
  • 3 x RCA and 1 x Phono MM/MC Inputs
Power your passive speaker system and provide your audio components with clear and detailed sound using the Denon PMA-1700NE 140W Stereo Integrated Amplifier in black. An ultra-high current single push-pull circuit power is utilized to minimize distortion as the amplifier powers two channels of audio with 140W total at 8 ohms. Audio can be taken in by a host of components, as the 1700NE provides three RCA, one MM/MC phono, two optical, and one coaxial input. Denon's AL32 Processing Plus circuit board ensures that the audio coming out of the amplifier is detailed and accurate to the artist's intention. As an added bonus, the PMA-1700NE can also be used as a USB DAC.

Denon PMA-1700NE Reviews

Great Integrated Amplifier

By Michael
Rated 5 out of 5

It is one of the best amp at this price point $1299. The build quality and sounding are excellent. It paired with my Denon DCD-1600NE. Thanks B&H.

Nice, but with some important limitations

By Paul

I bought this unit from B&H to replace my older Denon AVR, and with the intention of supporting hifi and hi res audio from my MacBook Pro using a variety of music streaming services. It is a well built piece of gear, and it is more than capable of driving my Focal 826 floor speakers. As others have noted, the remote does not allow balance adjustment, which is somewhat limiting. A more important drawback is the fact that the built in DAC does not support full MQA decoding / unfolding. As a result, this equipment requires the use of another stand alone DAC or streamer in order take advantage of Tidal music, if that is what you might be using. I am adding a Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200m in order to continue using Tidal. The aded $600 component cost might have swayed me to another manufacturer with a more full-featured integrated amp if I had researched the available services and technology a little better beforehand.
