Denon PMA-520 Integrated Amplifier Black

High Current (HC) Single-Push-Pull Circuit for musical detail and power

The PMA-520AE incorporates HC transistors with 2 to 3 times the electrical current supply capability of conventional power transistors for audio. Denon’s acclaimed HC Single-Push-Pull Circuit has been inherited from its high-end models which, together with a fully discrete amplifi er design, produces a powerful sound fi lled with beautiful musical details.

High-speed, high-capacity power supplycircuit for HC Single-Push-Pull

The PMA-520AE's power circuit uses a block capacitor that Denon engineers have jointly developed with a parts manufacturer and a Schottkybarrier diode that features low internal resistance for low loss, short recovery time, and negligible rectifying noise. This highly stable electrical current supply further brings out the expressive power of sound produced by the HC Single-Push-Pull Circuit.

Wide dynamic range, supporting high-grade audio sources

The PMA-520AE's tone control and power amplifi er circuit have been carefully adjusted to secure a frequency response of up to 100 kHz during actual use. Also, improvements in the volume circuit suppress noise in the amplifier to achieve high sonic resolution. These features and others give the PMA-520AE plenty of latitude to handle the wide dynamic range of high-grade audio sources such as Super Audio CD and DVD-Audio.

Main transformer with separate power supplies for analogue

The coiled wire within the power transformer for the audio signal and control circuits has been separated to eliminate mutual interference and adverse infl uences on sound quality. The PMA-520AE also has a separate transformer to minimize power consumption when in "standby". Ensuring a more environmentally friendly design.

NEW FEATURES

  • Improved sound quality
  • Newly-designed system remote control
  • ECO friendly with low power consumption in stand by and auto power off

    looks nice but for my cloth ears an smsl class d is good enough for half the price.

    • Any recommendations please?

        smsl ad18 ?

        • thanks buddy, will take a look

          • @daft009: they are pretty cheap on amazon I'm planing to get that and Micca MB42X, chi-fi

  • Thanks OP i just bought one. :). Had no plans at all to get one but have been wanting to make up a little stereo system so this is the start! Any advice as to some bookshelf speakers to pair with them? I was thinking the kef 150's or the kef 350's. Or maybe some Q acustics speakers? I have zero idea. :)

      kef 150's or the kef 350's

      A great deal recently for the Q350’s, look in this expired deal.
      Almost same price as Q150’s.

      • Thanks for that advice mate. So if i have this amp, the kef 350 and i use my pixel 4 with tidal and a dragonfly red and connect to the amp i should get decent sound from it?

        • When going with separate components each component can affect the end result.
          All I can say is give it a go.

          Personally I think Q350 is a good pairing with Denon Amp, but of course people have different preferences regarding sound.

    • Another good pairing and good value for money, check out the Voll B50's on Voll.com.au
      I didnt like the front bass-vent due to listening in close quarters - the sound quality and detail were very nice

  • Is there a product around the same price that also has dlna/airplay/spotify and bluetooth connectivity?

    • I think you'd need to pair an amplifier with an Android-TV box to get such smarts at this price.
      Not as elegant as one integrated box, but does work.

  • Needed a new amp - was pretty keen on getting the Sonos Amp but at this price I pulled the trigger on this. Allegedly the last one in stock. Good find OP.

    • This doesn't have Bluetooth or wifi?

      • Nope, it's super basic. You can get similar used ones online for $120-150 range.

        • I'll just run this one to a record player. I've been thinking it'd be nice to have the wifi feature - still might do it down the track.

  • I was about to buy one…Amazon asked me to do a password reset, and by the time I finished it, the last two were gone lol.

    Good price. I would have bought this if not recently bought a much high grade dac-intergrated amp for 4x this price used. My unit is much heavier though.

    • Yeah I ended up getting the Denon PMA-720AE, but still no integrated DAC in that either. I'm only planning on using it for records, but you never know, so it would have been a nice feature.

    For those who missed out, the higher-tier model is on sale as well. Offering more speaker connections (allows bi-amping) and more power for $549
