Stereo Integrated
Amplifier SU-C700
JENO Engine (Jitter
Elimination and Noise-shaping Optimization)
Just like the R1,
the SU-C700 is a fully-digital amplifier and delivers high-resolution digital
signals without any distortion being introduced between the input stage and
output to the speakers. Technics has developed an original jitter-reduction
circuit, avoiding the sound quality degradation due to jitter common to
conventional digital amps. It uses a clock generator for the noise-shaping
system to reduce jitter in the low-frequency range and a high-precision sample
rate converter to suppress jitter in the high-frequency range.
LAPC (Load Adaptive
Phase Calibration)
Technics has
developed a speaker impedance optimization algorithm, using digital signal
processing to flatten both the amplitude and phase-frequency response to make
the most of your speakers. The result is a sound with better focus,
spaciousness and definition.
High-speed Silent
Linear Power Supply
Using a
large-current Schottky-barrier diode, a rectifier circuit with electrolytic
capacitors, and a stabilized power supply circuit, the SU-C700 ensures ample
power supply at all times, even when dynamic music demands high current.
Battery Driven Clock
Generator
Technics used
battery power for low-noise applications in analog amplifiers in the past:
here, this same technology is used to improve digital clock precision,
enhancing the definition of the sound.
Various Inputs
The SU-C700 supports
a wide range of inputs, such as SPDIF, Analog and Phono, as well as USB-DAC for
connection of a PC. The digital input terminal supports coaxial 192-kHz/24-bit
PCM and optical 96-kHz/24-bit. The USB DAC input terminal supports 192-kHz
32-bit PCM and 2.8-MHz/5.6-MHz DSD native playback (analog output) and
asynchronous transmission. The SU-C700 converts analog signals to
high-precision 192-kHz/24-bit PCM signals using the A/D converter. The
full-digital system achieves high-purity reproduction from any content.
