Stereo Class D Amplifier: The Denon PMA-60's amplifier section
incorporates DDFA technology from CSR. The unique DDFA architecture employs a
fast and highly accurate digital feedback loop to create digital input Class D
audio switching amplifiers that set new standards in digital amplifier sound
quality. The patented closed loop architecture features global feedback for each
amplifier channel processed in the digital domain, compensating for output stage
distortions, output filter non-linearities, and power supply variations. The
PMA-60's Class D amplifier is rated at 25 watts x 2 channels (at 1kHz/into 8Ω) or 50
Watts x 2 channels (at 1kHz/into 4Ω); it delivers superior audio fidelity and high
efficiency.
Denon Proprietary Technologies: The PMA-60 features Denon's original
sound technologies such as Advanced AL32 Processing and DAC Master Clock design
developed for premium Hi-Fi components, to dramatically enhance the music
listening experience. Your favorite digital
audio tracks will have never sounded better.
- Advanced AL32 Processing Plus:
For the ultimate fidelity with 16-bit,
20-bit and 24-bit digital audio tracks, the PMA-60 features Denon's Advanced
AL32 Processing Plus technology. Featured on Denon's premium audiophile
disc players and digital audio components, Advanced AL32 Processing Plus upconverts, digitally filters and noise-shapes lower bit data to full
32-bits, delivering remarkable dynamic range and noticeably better low level
resolution.
- DAC Master Clock Design: In
order to reduce jitter, the Master Clock is re-generated in the PWM
modulator. This Denon Master Clock design ensures that sound is correctly
localized and your sound is thoroughly realistic & natural.
Tone Controls + Source Direct: You can independently adjust the
system's overall Bass & Treble settings from -8 to +8 dB. You can also balance
between the left & right channels. The Source Direct feature bypasses the
integrated amp's tone control for purer sound quality.
Speaker & Subwoofer Outputs: The
premium grade binding-post connectors let you connect speaker cables via bare
wire (up to 10AWG), pin connectors, and banana plugs (single or dual). Connect
speakers with 4-16Ω impedances. A mono-subwoofer
pre-out is also available for adding even more bass to the sound.
Dedicated Headphone Amplifier: The Denon PMA-60 is equipped with a
dedicated headphone amplifier circuit that features a high speed ultra-low
distortion wideband op amp that's paired with a fully discrete final output
stage. In order to accommodate the widest range of headphone types, the PMA-60
features an adjustable headphone impedance control, with three settings for low,
medium, and high impedance headphones; these provide proper matching of
headphone impedance and amplifier gain. The
headphone jack features a 1/4" connector for compatibility with premium home
and professional studio headphone models. When a set of headphones are plugged
into the front-panel 1/4" jack, audio will longer be output from the unit's
speaker terminals.

USB-B Input for Computer Audio: Via
the USB-B input, you can connect your Mac or PC to the PMA-60 and enjoy high
resolution audio tracks. The PMA-60 can play high resolution PCM files of up to
32-bits/384kHz along with high resolution DSD 2.8/5.6/11.2 MHz files (DSD is
the advanced digital audio coding system of SACD). Using the USB-B connection
will bypass your Computer's inferior soundcard to directly access the high
quality audio processing of the PMA-60 internal USB-DAC. To eliminate
PC-induced digital noise via the USB input, the PMA-60 features a dedicated
noise isolation block prior to the digital amplifier. A USB-A to USB-B cable is
included.

Note: Before connecting this unit to your Windows PC via USB, you will
need to install the driver software from
Denon's website onto your computer.
Digital & Analog Inputs: In addition
to the USB-B input, the PMA-60 features two optical (toslink) digital audio
inputs and one coaxial (RCA) digital audio input. The digital inputs support
Linear PCM signals with a sampling frequency of 32, 44.1, 48, 64, 88.2, 96 ,
176.4, or 192kHz (multi-channel Dolby Digital/DTS signals are not supported).
There's also a stereo (RCA) analog input for connection to legacy analog
sources.
Bluetooth Audio Streaming w/ aptX: Thanks to built-in Bluetooth
3.0 with support for A2DP 1.3 and AVRCP 1.5, you can
wirelessly stream stored music and music apps on your Bluetooth enabled
smartphone, tablet, laptop, or computer to the Denon PMA-60 integrated amplifier
(up to 33').
You can even control Play/Pause and Previous/Next Track functions from the
included remote. For CD-quality audio playback from Android (OS
4.0+) smartphone/tablets and other aptX-compatible devices, the PMA-60 features
the latest generation Qualcomm aptX Low Latency decoding, which provides optimum
time synchronization when playing back audio from video sources with no lip sync
issues. The unit does not support song/artist/album information display.
- Simple Pairing: The PMA-60
features quick and easy pairing via the Bluetooth button on the front-panel.
Simply activate the Bluetooth function on your device, press the Bluetooth
button on the front-panel or the remote control and when prompted, enter the
supplied 4 digit passcode (if required) on your device. Your device and the PMA-60 are
instantly paired and up to 8 devices can be remembered.
- NFC: For even faster pairing
with Android (OS 4.0+) smartphone/tablets and other NFC-enabled devices, the
PMA-60 features NFC (Near Field Communication). Simply activate your NFC-enabled
Bluetooth device and place it next to the "N" mark on the PMA-60 (located on
the side-panel), and it's instantly paired with no need for manual passcode
entry.
- Multi-Point Connection: Plus,
the PMA-60 features Multi-point Bluetooth connectivity which allows 3
Bluetooth-enabled devices to be connected simultaneously. Play tracks from
one device and when it's paused or stopped and another paired device's play
function is activated the PMA-60 automatically switches to that device. The
front-panel display shows the name of the currently selected Bluetooth
device.
Optional Matching Disc Player: The ideal companion
to the PMA-60 full digital stereo amplifier, Denon's DCD-50 disc player
(033DCD50,
