Denon's new DNP-2000NE network streamer features four high-precision 32-bit/384kHz ES9018K2M digital-to-analogue converters. Configured in a double-differential mode derived from the flagship DCD-A110, it promises excellent detail retrieval. Moreover, as it is all synchronised by the Denon Master Clock design, timing is also faithfully reproduced.

The HEOS platform hands the DNP-2000NE access to a raft of streaming services, including Spotify, TIDAL, Amazon Music, internet radio and more. You can also play from your networked digital library stored on a NAS drive. Finally, the HEOS mobile app enables you to create playlists and use any of Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant or Apple's Siri for voice control.

Under the hood, Denon's Advanced AL32 Processing Plus supports up-sampling to 384kHz and bit-extension to 32-bit, while the asynchronous USB Type B connection supports native hi-res digital files, including DSD256. Number crunching is performed by a quartet of high-precision 32-bit/384kHz ES9018K2M digital-to-analogue converters, configured in a double-differential-mode just like Denon's flagship DCD-A110 SACD player. This should result in top-notch sound quality.

As well as USB Type B, the DNP-2000NE offers two optical and one coaxial digital input alongside HDMI ARC, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth and Apple AirPlay 2.

You also get fixed and variable analogue output options, as well as one each of coax and optical digital outputs. Rounding things off is a fascia-mounted headphone socket.

The Denon DNP-2000NE streamer launches in June for £1,399/ €1,599 in black and premium silver and £1,599/ €1,799 in graphite silver.
