Add high-res streaming to your hi-fi system

This cool, well-built piece from Denon lets you add high-res streaming to pretty much any existing audio system, but I might argue that it deserves the best hi-fi you can muster. The DNP-2000NE can play most digital audio sources — including streaming music and your TV — with clear, articulate sound. It also lets you sync with other compatible players on your home network for a house filled with music.

HEOS’s intuitive streaming and whole-house audio

The DNP-2000NE’s built-in HEOS multi-room streaming platform lets you play music from your choice of popular services like TIDAL, Spotify Connect, and Amazon Music HD (subscription may be required). You can also control sources connected to this streamer’s digital inputs, as well as network-attached storage drives (NAS), with the HEOS app.

And if you’ve got other Denon or Marantz components with HEOS Built-in, you can sync the music around your house. You can also simultaneously play different music on your different players, all from within the app.

Robust construction with isolated circuitry

I always appreciate how hefty Denon components feel in your hands, and the DNP-2000NE weighs in at just over 20 lbs. It’s got well-designed isolated circuitry and an independent power supply that help keep noise from interference and distortion at a minimum.

It also comes with a useful remote and has intuitive front-panel controls for when you want to listen without using your smartphone, tablet, or computer.

AirPlay 2, Roon, and Bluetooth

Apple users can connect to this player and sync with others in the AirPlay 2 ecosystem. And it will show up in your player list if you’re using Roon, which also offers multi-room playback on compatible devices.

And for another simple streaming option, Bluetooth gives you an easy and popular way to play music through this component.

High-performance quad DAC

The quad DAC in this player gives streaming music a smooth, detailed presentation. To hear high-res audio tracks in all their glory, connect a computer to the rear-panel USB-B port or plug a thumb drive loaded with music into the front-panel Type-A port.
