Company Denon, celebrating its 110th anniversary in the market, proudly introduced the integrated stereo amplifier PMA-A110 as part of the new limited Anniversary series. The Denon PMA-A110 is a PREMIUM class Hi-Fi amplifier. Its price starts at $3500. This is a very interesting solution for audiophiles who have a good pair of speakers but lack a high-quality amplifier.
Integrated Stereo Amplifier Denon PMA-A110 — Review
The amplifier is based on a patented modification of a push-pull power amplifier circuit using ultra-high current field-effect transistors. It provides 160 W per channel and high sound accuracy across the entire frequency range.
In addition to standard connectors, there is an input from an external preamplifier directly to the power amplifier. There is a phono input supporting MC cartridges. Denon has been known for this for decades (the new lineup also includes the DL-A110 cartridge).
The digital section was given no less attention. The USB Type-B port on the rear panel allows you to connect any modern sound source. From a smartphone to a laptop. Plus, it supports playback of Hi-Res audio files up to PCM 32-bit/384kHz and DSD 256.
Four built-in PCM1795 DACs, operating in mono mode, provide a wide dynamic range and a high signal-to-noise ratio. The Ultra AL32 technology gives the output signal a smoother shape by processing it with increased sampling frequency.

The feature of the Denon PMA-A110 integrated stereo amplifier is the strange feeling that arises when watching movies. It creates the impression that a surround sound system is working. Even the time-tested Marantz SR8015 receiver was not as effective in sound transmission. And of course, a pleasant moment is the bass. Owners of expensive stereo speakers will enjoy the Denon PMA-A110 amplifier.
