Further information:

This amp has never been used except when I installed it in my system today to check that it is working.

 

This amp is a giant killer.  It won Hi-Fi Choice magazine's Group Test in 2016 against very stiff competition including Hegel, Yamaha, Arcam and NAD. I was so surprised by this that I subscribed to the digital magazine just to read the article (pdf copy provided below).

 

This amp sounds very, very good. I swapped it out with my PMA-2000 and I could definitely hear why this 1600 is receiving so many accolades. 

 

Includes remote control, user documentation and accessories still in plastic wrap.

 

My pics are not great (black amp at night) but I can assure you it is in pristine condition. I recommend you check out retailer sites to get a better idea of just how gorgeous this amp looks.

 

Denon site (below) has all the specs.

 

RRP is $3899

 

This amp would suit someone looking a for a new amp at a massive discount off the RRP.HiFi Choice Group Test.pdf

I'm currently running this amp in silver finish, and I truly prefer it over my previous Musical Fidelity M3si and Yamaha A-S1100 and Marantz PM8005. The Denon brand gets slept on a lot, and I didn't even consider it until I got an opportunity to test it out. The MM/MC phono stage and DAC are not to be under estimated either. GLWTS
