JENO Engine

Jitter is the major cause of distortion in digital systems and is due to poor synchronization of the master clocks used in digital-to-analog conversion. To eliminate sound degradation caused by jitter, Technics has developed an original jitter reduction circuit technology, including a clock generator in the noise shaping system to reduce jitter in the low frequency range as well as a high-precision sampling frequency converter to suppress jitter in the high frequency range. This allows jitter to be optimally reduced across the entire frequency range. This circuit works in conjunction with Technics’ proprietary high-precision PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) conversion circuit, which optimizes the noise shaping speed, requantization degree and number, and PWM gradation, in order to convert high-resolution signals to PWM without compromising the dynamic range. These technologies allow Technics digital amplifier models to reproduce the natural and delicate nuances of music.

ADCT (Active Distortion Cancelling Technology)

The newly developed Active Distortion Cancelling Technology by Technics precisely extracts and removes power supply distortion generated by the speaker’s electromotive force and voltage drops. In the Hi-Fi audio market, where an unlimited number of audio systems can be configured by combining various products, high-end audio amplifiers must optimally drive many different speakers. Active Distortion Cancelling Technology accurately cancels distortion by determining the difference between the speaker terminal output and the JENO output, then applies a correction to the digital output signal, thereby correcting the conventional digital amplification system. It thus provides powerful driving force and acoustic energy while offering the superior benefits of a digital amplifier, such as low noise, precise sound imaging, and extended sound ambience, regardless of the types of speakers connected.

Ultra-fast Silent Power Supply

The SU-R1000 uses a switching power supply system to ensure stable supply of the voltage and current required by the digital amp. In a conventional switching power supply system, the on-time of the switching operation was controlled to stabilize the voltage, causing the switching frequency to fluctuate according to the load, resulting in modulation noise affecting sound quality. The ultra-fast silent power supply has eliminated this noise by fixing the switching frequency in the 400 kHz band. In addition, an ultra-low noise regulator is provided later. This prevents the decrease in regulation resulting from the fixed switching frequency and prevents the introduction of the noise component in the high frequencies. The result is a high-response power supply that translates into optimized digital amplifier performance.

Four Independent Power Supply Blocks

In the SU-R1000, every element of the power supply has been carefully studied and revised to achieve better sound quality. In addition, four independent power supply units are provided for different circuit blocks, for further improvement in sound quality. As the SU-R1000 is an integrated amplifier, the internal circuits consist of a preamp stage and a power amp stage in a mix of analog and digital circuits. The Phono-EQ section, which handles tiny analog signals, is particularly sensitive to the effect of noise transmitted through the power line. The SU-R1000 uses separate power supply units for the analog circuits and digital circuits in the preamp stage. It also uses separate power supply units for the right and left channels of the power amplification stage which requires significant electrical power. With the four independent power supply units, the SU-R1000 prevents power line-induced interference between circuit blocks and achieves a high S/N ratio as well as excellent separation.

High-quality digital/analog I/O circuit

The phono input section and analog input section feature a fully integrated circuit design. Technics thus realizes the ideal symmetrical circuit configuration and has performed meticulous adjustments. The new circuits prevent interference between the right and left channels and ensure excellent channel separation. In addition, the phono input section and XLR input section use fully balanced transmission to ensure high-purity signal transmission with minimal noise effect. The USB input circuit in the digital input section is equipped with a high-quality ruby mica capacitor and a power conditioner with non-magnetic carbon film resistors to block electrical noise from e.g. a PC and to minimize the effect of external noise. The A/D converter incorporates a high-performance chip manufactured by Asahi Kasei Microdevices (AKM) for high-precision A/D conversion. Thus, the SU-R1000 reproduces exceptional sound quality from all analog or digital input sources.

What the press says

The SU-R1000, the first integrated stereo amplifier in Technics' recent and highly prestigious R series, is an extremely ambitious yet truly innovative product, which is becoming, let's be honest, far too rare in high-end Hi-Fi. Despite its very retro design, it is shaping up to be the most modern of digital amplifiers.

Eric

Amplifier powering Triangle Magellan Quatuor anniversary speakers and two subwoofers, all installed in a dedicated room to free it from the room’s other uses and constraints
The sources are:
- Pro-Ject X9 Evolution Carbon turntable
- Hana SL MKII cartridge
- Pro-Ject Phono Box RS phono amp and Power Box RS2 power supply ( no longer used since installing this amplifier )
- And finally for everything digital, a Technics SL-G700M2

It’s clear that this is a budget for an amplifier, thanks to homecine Solutions and their great discount I ended up taking the plunge, and I don’t regret it
Also take into account that the built-in phono amp is top-notch, no need to spend your time looking for better, that would be very difficult and no doubt outrageously expensive, so that also has to be factored into the overall budget

So I was able to compare it with its little brother
amplifier that replaces its little brother the SU700G, first of all I can say that the differences are subtle, the 700, for a much lower price, is not crushed, far from it
My speakers, apparently reputed to be difficult, were already very well powered, they may be powered a tiny bit better with bass that is a little better controlled at very, very high volume, it’s violent, punchy and perfectly damped, it doesn’t get muddy
then the rest of the spectrum is detailed, airy, with a very beautiful holographic soundstage, a deep and precise soundstage
All of this was already the case on the SU700G, just a tiny bit above in all areas, but it’s subtle, very present but subtle

Small detail, it runs hotter, whereas the 700 was almost cold, that’s no longer the case here, nothing compared with a big class A block, but it still needs a bit of space to breathe

The build is remarkable and a big step above the 700, that’s clear and yet the 700 was already very high quality

It has everything you need to connect all kinds of equipment, except perhaps HDMI

Ampli qui alimente des Triangle Magellan Quatuor anniversaire et deux caisson de grave le tout installé dans une pièce dédiée pour s'affranchir des autres usages et contraintes de la pièce
Les sources sont :
- Platine Pro-ject X9 Evolution Carbon
- Cellule Hana SL MKII
- Ampli phono Pro-Ject Phono Box RS et alimentation Power Box RS2 ( plus utilisé depuis l'installation de cet ampli )
- Et enfin pour tout ce qui numérique un Technics SL-G700M2

C'est clair que c'est un budget pour un ampli , grâce à homecine Solutions et leur belle remise j'ai fini par franchir le pas , et je ne le regrette pas
Tenir compte aussi que l'ampli phono intégré est au top , pas la peine de passer son temps a chercher mieux , ça serait très difficile et sans doute hors de prix , ça rentre donc aussi en ligne de compte dans le budget global

J'ai donc pus faire la comparaison avec son petit frète
ampli qui vient remplacer son petit frère le SU700G , déjà je peu dire que les différences sont subtiles le 700 , pour un prix bien moindre , n'est pas écrasé , loin de la
Mes enceintes, parait il réputées difficiles, étaient déjà très bien alimentées , elles le sont peut être un poil mieux avec des graves un peu mieux tenus à très très fort volume , c'est violent , percutant et parfaitement amorti , ça ne bave pas
après le reste de spectre est détallé , aéré , avec une très belle scène holographique , une scène profonde et précise
Tout cela était déjà le cas sur le SU700G , juste un poil au dessus dans tous les domaines , mais c'est subtil , bien présent mas subtil

Petit détail , ça chauffe plus , autant le 700 était quasi froid , la ce n'est plus le cas , sans comparaison avec un gros bloc classe A , mais il lui faut tout de même un peu de place pour respirer

La construction est remarquable et gros ton au dessus du 700 , c'est clair et pourtant le 700 était déjà très qualitatif

Il y à tout ce qu'il faut pour brancher toutes sorte d'équipements , sauf peut être un HDMI

Amplificateur très dynamique et musical. Ce n'est pas le plus silencieux (par exemple, l'Accuphase E800 offre un fond beaucoup plus silencieux), mais en échange, la présentation musicale est bien plus "vivante" avec le Technics. L'étage phono est particulièrement bon, au point que j'utilise cet ampli pour toutes mes écoutes de vinyles.

The best amplifier I know.
It created a sound bubble; it's like Dolby Atmos without the rear speakers. I can distinguish the lead singer in the foreground, the backup singers in the background on the right and left, the guitar, then in the third plane, the drums which are elevated on the stage and next to it, the saxophone. The applause is down low, near the singer. I'm rediscovering my albums, full of micro-details, with total accuracy and real note decay. The piano sounds like a real piano! Exceptional dynamics! Paired with my PEL INTEGRALE speakers, they help me achieve this quality of reproduction. (It surpassed a high-end amplifier and preamplifier that were in use until now, but I prefer not to name them.)
Hats off to TECHNICS for their successful comeback with this SU-R1000E!

Le meilleur amplificateur que je connaisse.
Il a créé une bulle sonore ; on dirait du Dolby Atmos sans les enceintes arrière. Je distingue le chanteur au premier plan, les choristes au second plan à droite et à gauche, la guitare, puis au troisième plan, la batterie qui est en hauteur sur l'estrade et à côté, le saxophone. Les applaudissements sont en bas, près du chanteur. Je redécouvre mes albums, pleins de micro-détails, avec une justesse totale et des extinctions de notes réelles. Le piano sonne comme un vrai piano ! Une dynamique exceptionnelle ! Associé à mes enceintes PEL INTEGRALE, elles m'aident à obtenir cette qualité de restitution. (Il a surpassé un amplificateur et un préamplificateur de haute volée qui fonctionnaient jusqu’à ce jour, mais je préfère taire leurs noms.)
Chapeau bas pour le retour réussi de TECHNICS avec ce SU-R1000E ! !
