Description
SL-G700M2 Grand Class Audio Player
A new generation of multi-digital audio player that supports
a wide range of music sources and delivers highest sonic fidelity.
High Precision Coherent D/A Converter
The SL-G700M2 is equipped with the High Precision Coherent
D/A Converter, which is the result of the accumulation of these technologies,
converts digital values to analogue signals with the utmost precision and
outputs them to an amplifier. It is composed of (1) coherent processing, (2)
high-performance D/A converter in dual monaural configuration, and (3) a
proprietary discrete amplifier circuit.
The dual ESS ES9026PRO is newly adopted for the DAC chip.
The symmetrical placement of one L/R unit on each side and their independent
transmission structures reduce mutual interference and faithfully reproduce the
sound image and musical space contained in the sound source.
The filter circuit after the D/A conversion uses an amplifier circuit with a
unique discrete configuration instead of an operational amplifier IC. This realizes
even higher responsiveness and S/N and reproduces even the most subtle sounds.
Coherent Processing Technology
Technics’ new proprietary coherent processing technology
improves the reproducibility of impulse signals by minimizing amplitude and
phase deviations that occur throughout the D/A conversion process for signals
up to 192 kHz PCM using proprietary digital signal processing*. With this
processing, purity of the sound is increased, and the sound image is clearer.
*DSD signals such as Super Audio CD are input directly to
the DAC without performing this processing.
Multi-Stage Silent Power Supply
Digital audio players that handle small signals require
thorough noise suppression because even the slightest noise can significantly
affect sound quality. The Multi-Stage Silent Power Supply provides thorough
noise suppression in three stages: (1) High-speed switching power supply, (2)
low-noise regulator, and (3) current injection active noise cancelling.
The SL-G700M2 uses a high-speed switching power supply of
approximately 300 kHz, which is also used for the analogue circuits of the
SU-R1000 reference-class integrated amplifier. By increasing the switching
frequency, the interference of noise on the music playback bandwidth is reduced
and a highly responsive power supply is achieved.
The low-noise regulator also provides low noise at high
level and stable power supply are realized with the fine tuning of circuit
patterns.
Current Injection Active Noise Canceling
This newly developed technology, current injection active
noise canceling removes unwanted noise components by applying an inverse phase
current to the detected noise. More effective current noise rejection can be
achieved by using the push/pull method in combination with conventional noise
rejection by drawing current.
Super Audio CD and MQA, Also USB-B Input is Newly Supported
The SL-G700M2 supports playback of Super Audio CD, which is
a high-quality audio disc format. For further sound quality enhancement, a
“Pure Disc Playback” mode, dedicated for Super Audio CD/CD playback.
This model also supports MQA and is capable of full decoding playback of MQA
files and MQA-CDs. Various other high-resolution formats are also supported,
including WAV/AIFF, FLAC/ALAC, and DSD file playback.
In addition, the SL-G700M2 is equipped with a new USB-B port
that allows constant connection to a network audio server or PC for playback of
high-resolution sound sources from the connected device.
Supports a Wide Variety of Music Sources and High
Connectivity
The SL-G700M2 supports Chromecast built-in™, which enables a
wide range of music streaming services from Google Chromecast-enabled apps, as
well as AirPlay 2. Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® wireless connections are also
supported.*
*A Google Voice-activated Speaker must be included in the
same network.
Compatible music streaming services will be supported sequentially through
firmware updates.
Network content services are operated by their respective service providers,
and service may be discontinued either temporarily or permanently without
notice. Some content may not be available in the country in which you reside.
Registration/subscription may be required. Fees may apply.
Housing and Chassis that Support High Sound Quality and
High-quality Design
The SL-G700M2 is divided into four sections inside the
chassis, with the power supply, digital interface, analogue circuitry, and disk
drive sections, each being independent of the other. This suppresses mutual
interference between circuits and reduces sound quality degradation. The disc
drive adopts a three-layer chassis configuration. Powerful vibration-damping
and quiet construction, including a disc tray made of die-cast aluminum,
ensures high-precision disc playback.
The exterior features a hairline-finished 7 mm-thick aluminum
front panel and 3 mm-thick aluminum side panels, as well as an engraved
Technics logo for a high-grade design and finish.
