The AVR-5805
MK2
incorporates a host of new technologies, circuits, and functions to achieve DENON’s ultimate aim for all its amps, which is to recreate the producer’s
original intent with absolute fidelity. The "New DDSC-Digital" surround processor, developed around DENON’s design concepts for high-quality sound reproduction, is
now equipped with the latest 32-bit floating-point DSP as well as newly-developed AL24 processing, high-performance 24-bit/192-kHz D/A converter, and other much
improved technologies. The AVR-5805
MK2
is also endowed with a wide range of features such as a hefty10-channel power amp capable of bi-amp drive, new Auto Set-up
utilizing multi-point measurement and analysis to support the entire listening area, Room EQ (equalizer), advanced digital audio interfaces including DENON Link and
IEEE 1394, support for THX Ultra2, multi-zone system, newly-developed analog video scaler
to 1080p
, DVI/HDMI video selector, and full up/down video conversion.
These new technologies, circuits, and features enable the AVR-5805
MK2
to reproduce the original design intent of content producers from a wide range of sources in such
areas as surround sound, multi-channel audio, 2-channel stereo, and video.

'New DDSC-Digital,' for dramatically improved processing performance
The New DDSC(Dynamic Discrete Surround Circuit)- Digital is a high-quality sur-
round sound reproduction circuit designed by DENON, and forms the core of the
design concept that DENON pursues for all its A/V amps: to faithfully reproduce
the original intent of content producers. DENON has succeeded in developing a
fully discrete design for the New DDSC-Digital in which high-performance ICs are
used in independent blocks to form a signal processor that reproduces surround
sound, and the discrete design ensures that all channels are endowed with identi-
cal response and quality of sound.
-New 32-bit floating point DSP
Three of the latest 32-bit floating point DSPs for the decoder for main zone. A lat-
est-generation 32-bit floating point SHARC DSP for the second zone.
-24-bit/192-kHz D/A Converter
The latest high-accuracy 24-bit/192-kHz D/A converter has been employed for the
audio DAC. The AVR-5805 has 8 of these D/A converters for 16 circuits, achiev-
ing differential drive for all 16 channels and digital-to-analog conversion with wide
dynamic range at a high S/N.
-High-performance A/D Converter
A high-performance A/D converter of 24-bit/192-kHz quality has been used to sig-
nificantly boost S/N and dynamic range.

10-channel power amp, supporting multiple uses
Since the 10 speaker terminals can be assigned to any channel, the AVR-5805
can be used to enjoy home theater entertainment in the following configurations:
- One dynamic 9.1-channel surround system in a single room
- 5.1-channel theater environments in two different rooms, both operating simulta-
neously
- Multi-zone system: a 7.1-channel theater in the main room, a 2.1-channel envi-
ronment in a second room, and a monaural environment in a small third room.
- "Bi-amp" system: Front (L/R) and Center speakers are bi-wired in a 7.1-channel
theater to improve playback quality in the front for enhanced listening enjoyment.
