Denon PMA-900HNE:
Where Pure Hi-Fi Meets Modern Streaming

Premium Integrated Network Amplifier: $1,699

Denon's first pure hi-fi amplifier with HEOS streaming integration

The Denon PMA-900HNE represents a significant milestone: Denon's first integration of HEOS streaming technology into a pure hi-fi amplifier. This innovative approach combines traditional audiophile engineering with modern connectivity, creating a bridge between classic hi-fi and contemporary streaming convenience.

Pure Hi-Fi Heritage

Unlike Denon's AV-derived products, the PMA-900HNE is built from the ground up as a pure hi-fi component, incorporating premium amplification technology and a dedicated power supply design that sets it apart from network-enabled AV products.

Engineering Excellence:

  • High-current main transformer with separate audio/control windings
  • Advanced High Current (AHC) transistors with 2-3x normal capacity
  • Single push-pull circuit design
  • ESS 9018K2M DAC implementation
  • Extensive digital section shielding

Key Features:

  • Power Output: 85W per channel (4 ohms), 50W (8 ohms)
  • Digital Processing: Advanced AL32 Processing Plus
  • Streaming: HEOS, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth
  • Phono Stage: Switchable MM/MC input
  • Digital Inputs: 3 optical, 1 coaxial (192kHz/24-bit)

Considerations:

  • Display: Limited OLED screen size
  • Bluetooth: SBC codec only
  • No HDMI: TV connection via optical only

Premium Build Quality

Physical Construction

  • Solid aluminum front panel
  • 1.6mm-thick metal base plate
  • Ventilated top panel with reinforced design
  • Extruded aluminum heatsink
  • Robust speaker terminals and connections

Audio Performance

Sound Characteristics

  • Wide, expansive soundstage
  • Clear track separation and imaging

  4. High-quality TV audio enhancement

Setup & Operation

Key Features:

  • Intuitive HEOS app control

Market Position

The PMA-900HNE takes a unique approach compared to competitors like the Bluesound Powernode or NAD C 700. While others lead with smart features, Denon prioritizes traditional hi-fi engineering and adds streaming capabilities. At $1,699, it positions itself as a serious audiophile component that embraces modern connectivity without compromising sound quality.

The Verdict

The Denon PMA-900HNE successfully bridges the gap between traditional hi-fi and modern streaming needs. Its pure hi-fi credentials shine through in its sound quality, while the HEOS integration provides seamless access to modern streaming services. At $1,699, it represents a significant investment, but one that delivers both exceptional sound quality and comprehensive connectivity options. It's particularly appealing for those who value traditional hi-fi principles but need modern streaming capabilities.

Final Rating: 8.5/10
