Denon DAP 5500

This amp is extremly rare and hard to find. It was the top of the line amp in 1988 and is a completely different pre amp compared to the DAP 2500, which is much easier to find. The digital and analog sections are hermetically separated from each other. You will find 2 capsuled power transformers with own power supplies. This provides the best possible signal to noise ratio combined with breathtaking dynamics. 

This DAP 5500 features 5 analog inputs, one of them is a symmetrical cannon XLR connection. 2 monitor ways are available for tape monitoring. Very rare and useful is the DAC out. Here you have a direct analog output from the internal converters. Finally, there are 2 pre outs, one of them is RCA and the other is is a symmetrical cannon XLR connection. 

On the digital side, you can connect 2 coaxial and one optical device. Further there is a coaxial monitor loop for DAT or CD-Recorders. 

Taking a closer look to the workmanship and finish, there is not much to say exept: " There has not been anything like this before and after". Denon really gave everything here. Original Owner……..
