Denon's proprietary digital audio interface now provides full support for SACD digital transmission. Denon Link is a digital transmission technology developed by Denon that has won high critical acclaim as the best sounding high-performance digital audio interface.

Denon Link is used in Denon?s high-end home cinema amplifiers, DVD players and other components.

Denon has recently received approval as a licensor of Super Audio CD, enabling the brand to fully support all digital transmission specifications, including Super Audio CD, officially with ?Denon Link 3rd Edition? (otherwise known as Denon Link 3rd).

Denon Link 3rd will enable full-spec digital transmission of all sources, from CD and DVD-Video to the multi-channel signals of Super Audio CD and DVD-Audio. The performance of a Denon DVD player and an AV surround amp can be fully realised by simply connecting a dedicated Denon Link cable, allowing users to consistently enjoy the maximum sound quality of digital program sources.
