Reports

• In issue 11/2006 the AUDIO editorial staff reviewed the device again:

• "The AVC-A 1 D was the first Denon flagship with DTS. What came after it in terms of features has left owners of the one relatively cold."

• "But what inspires day after day is the quality of this amplifier: the care in its tuning, the uncompromising selection of its components - timeless HiFi - craftsmanship that does not lose its value. Comparable liveliness, cleanliness and timbre - splendor cost even today, in any case, no less than those 5,000 marks that Denon demanded at the time."
