The Denon limited series Anniversary Edition silver graphite PMA-A110 integrated amplifier delivers best in class audio performance for a best in class audio experience.Japanese Denon can celebrate its 110th anniversary this year. It’s a respectable age for a hi-fi manufacturer  and not much younger than the electricity grid itself!To celebrate the anniversary, Denon has made a series of special editions of some of its best models. The models have received extra care on the audio side with even better components and more uncompromising construction. On the amplifier front, this applies to the integrated amplifier Denon PMA-A110.If the PMA-A110 seems familiar, the reason is that it is largely built over the PMA-2500ne that we have previously tested. Beneath the titanium gray surface, however, it is at least as akin to the enthusiast amplifier PMA-SX1, which is not exported to the West at all. What can also be seen on the price. That’s half as high as the PMA-2500ne.

Musicality rather than power

  • Despite the many kilos of hardware goodies, the output power is limited to humble 2 x 80 watts. However, the power is doubled to 160 watts per. channel into 4 ohms, which testifies to abundant power reserves. That it is not the power but the finesse that is preferred can be seen by the fact that the output power is exactly the same as on the PM-A2500s – and only 10 and 20 watts respectively over the budget model PMA-1600s.
  • The output stage is built over a configuration Denon calls Ultra High Current MOS Single Push-Pull Circuit, that consists of just two transistors of the CMOS type. The principle should provide musical benefits, but it sets limits on the output power compared to conventional output stages, where we are used to see rows of parallel-connected bipolar transistors.
  • To be fair, this type of output stage is not unique to the PM-A110, but is also found in Denon’s other integrated hi-fi amplifiers. In this case, however, it is all done with hysterical attention to component quality and in a version with fewer stages, that is copied from the very expensive PMA-SX1 amplifier.
  • The back of the amp is filled with terminals of the most delicious quality. And extra delicious on the turntable input and “ext pre in”, where the PMA-A110 acts as a pure power amplifier. For example. for the front channels in a home theater system.
  • The speaker terminals are large and study, and there is plenty of room for powerful cables. So planty that I almost forgive Denon for plugging the holes for banana plugs. With appropriate amounts of violence, one might be able to get the plugs out, but I did not dare try on a review model.
SOUNDWhen listening to an amplifier for the first time, I prefer as much as possible to let the sound speak for itself. If you have received a review in advance from a product manager or read about the product’s alleged technological advantages, it is far too easy to hear exactly what you have been told you would hear. That is, placebo effect. So better listen without preconditions.And if my written impressions since turn out to agree with the explanation, then there’s probably something to the claims. It goes without saying that you should also avoid reading other media’s tests beforehand (as this review is the first worldwide, I would not be able to do otherwise anyway).Among other things, I compared with the aforementioned NAD M33, which is somewhat more expensive, but on the other hand includes a lot of digital extras like streaming and space correction.

CONCLUSIONDenon PMA-A110 is an amplifier that evokes warm, nostalgic feelings in the reviewer. First, it looks like something that could have been built in the heyday of Japanese hi-fi. Or rather: It resembles the beautified memory of that time – because even the expensive stuff back then was not made to this standard.Secondly – and more importantly – the PMA-A110 with its silky soft and detaile musical playing style gives associations to the best features of valve amplifiers and class A amplifiers. Like with these, the output power is limited and the Denon amplifier does not have the same crunchy iron grip on the speakers’ bass units as a modern class D amplifier with hundreds of watts under the bonnet.

That, however, should not be a restriction when it happens in such a charming way as here. And it’s with a certain sadness that I pack the giant down again and pass it on to its probably enthusiastic buyer.

110 years defining audio excellence 

  • For 110 years ,Denon has delivered the most cutting-edge audio and video technical achievements.

Sound master inspired 

  • The Denon sound master did’t just tune this products ,he obsessed over it.

High – power, integrated amplifier

  • 160 watts of power delivers the most precise and powerfull Denon sound.

Ultra AL32 processing 

  • The PMA-A110 IS Equipped with Ultra AL32 Processing, the latest in analog waveform reproduction technology from Denon.

High Precision Electrical Controls

  • The PMA-A110 embrances electrical volume, balance and tone controls while preserving the analog feeling of operation.Clever engineering offers the feel of an analog volume knob while an MCU measures the position of the knob and converts that position to control the master volume digitally.
7th Generation Ultra High Current MOS Single Push-Pull Circuit

  • To achieve impeccable balance between delicate details of music reproduction and vigor of low frequency sound,it’s capable of delivering a massive current output in a single push-pull configuration ti drive even the most demanding speaker.

Multiple Digital Input

  • The PMA-A110 features a USB-B input to directly connect a computer and supports PCM signal 384-kHz/32-bit and 11.2-MHz DSD. Use the USB-B input to listen to Hi-Res audio or you can take advantage of three Optical inputs and one Coaxial input which support PCM 192kHz/24-bit.
