Grand Class, high-quality sound design
The new SL-G700 Super Audio CD and network player. The SL-G700 is a multi-digital player that brings together most of the digital audio media available today, from traditional CD/SACD to the latest high-resolution and streaming services, with an optimal level of rendering quality.
High-end digital-to-analog converter and superior quality dual mono digital-to-analog conversion circuit.
For analog audio output, the digital-to-analog circuit represents one of the most important circuit blocks as it recreates the original analog waveform from a digital source such as a CD. For the digital-to-analog converters, the Asahi Kasei AK4497 microchips, the best on the market due to their high S/N ratio and low distortion, are isolated for the left and right channels. The power supply for the digital-to-analog converters is divided into five sections according to the application and is supplied individually. The clock power supply uses an original generator-powered circuit system for high-precision digital-to-analog conversion. The dual mono design and asymmetrical layout eliminate mutual interference between the left and right channels, for better reproduction of the imaging and sound spatialization as recorded in the source.
Discrete component amplification module
For analog audio output, the filter circuit located after the digital-to-analog converter is crucial for sound quality. The SL-G700’s filter circuit does not incorporate an IC op-amp but an original amplification module in discrete components. The use of low-noise transistors and thin-film resistors eliminates noise generated in the circuits. Precise improvement of certain details, such as increasing the operating current, has improved response, S/N ratio and distortion rate. As a result, the SL-G700 offers linear and faithful sound reproduction, without any omission even in the smallest nuances of the source.
A specific generator for clock power supply
In digital audio signal processing, the quality of the clock plays a major role in sound quality. For sensitive circuits such as the digital-to-analog converter clock block and the audio system clock circuit, the power supply is completely isolated from noise or fluctuations from the mains supply, for optimal results. Technics has solid experience in isolating the power supply using a battery. This technology makes it possible to create low-noise digital audio interfaces, including digital-to-analog converters. In addition, the audio system clock comes from a clock generator allowing jitter reduction to very low levels. A low-noise power supply block and a superior quality clock circuit give full transparency to every sound.
Hybrid power supply, silent and ultra-fast
The quality of the power supply is extremely important for high-fidelity audio reproduction. Power supply noise and stability directly affect the quality of sound reproduced from audio signals, especially for analog audio output. The SL-G700 is equipped with a dedicated power supply block for analog audio output. Its feedback-free switching power eliminates switching frequency fluctuations. Combined with the original stabilized power supply circuit, this dedicated power supply provides stable power with low noise. The discrete component circuit structure does not use a general-purpose integrated circuit, and the meticulous settings provide optimized power for the analog circuits, as well as a high S/N ratio and magnificent reproduction, the hallmark of Technics sound.

Fabulous CD and SACD player and also network player.
Exceptional finish and construction. A player with exceptional musicality for my large SACD collection. The result is far superior to any streaming, even Qobuz.

Admittedly it represents a significant budget, but I am extremely satisfied with this CD and DSD player, which has incredibly clear and powerful sound. It feels like all the frequencies are boosted.
Superb bass, mids, and highs.
It is truly far superior to my previous Rotel and Marantz players. As is the price.
That said, your CDs will give you the impression of being transformed into super-audio themselves. With the SU amplifier. I am still amazed by the sound every time I listen.

Certes cela représente un certain budget mais je suis Hyper-satisfait par ce lecteur de CD, DSD, qui a un son d'une netteté et d'une puissance incroyable. J'ai l'impression que toutes les fréquences sont boostées.
Super basses, médiums, aigües.
Vraiment c'est bien supérieur à mes anciens lecteurs Rotel, Marantz. Tout comme le prix.
Ceci dit vos CD vous donneront l'impression d'être eux-mêmes comme transformés en super-audio. Avec l'ampli SU. Je n'en reviens toujours pas du son lors de chaque écoute.
