Denon DNP-2000NE Network Music Streamer

Denon DNP-2000NE – High-Resolution Network Audio Player with HEOS® Built-in

The Denon DNP-2000NE is a premium network audio player and streaming preamplifier designed for high-performance stereo systems. It combines HEOS® Built-in, Ultra AL32 Processing, ESS ES9018K2M digital-to-analogue conversion, DAC Master Clock Design and extensive digital connectivity. It can stream music from online services, NAS drives, USB storage and Bluetooth devices, operate as a USB-DAC for a computer, receive television audio through HDMI ARC, and connect directly to a power amplifier using its variable analogue output.

Key Features

• HEOS® Built-in: Provides network music streaming, app control and multi-room integration with compatible HEOS products.
• Ultra AL32 Processing: Denon's advanced digital processing reconstructs audio waveforms with high precision for smoother and more detailed analogue reproduction.
• ESS ES9018K2M DAC: High-performance digital-to-analogue conversion supports demanding high-resolution audio sources.

System Integration

The Denon DNP-2000NE can be used in several ways within a stereo Hi-Fi system. Its fixed RCA output allows it to operate as a conventional network streamer connected to an integrated amplifier, while the variable RCA output allows direct connection to a compatible power amplifier. The USB-B input enables it to function as a high-resolution computer DAC, and optical, coaxial and HDMI ARC inputs allow other digital sources and compatible televisions to use its internal DAC. HEOS® Built-in provides network streaming and multi-room audio, while USB-A, NAS, Bluetooth and AirPlay 2 offer additional music-source options.
