Specifications

The Technics SL-G700M2 is an excellent and versatile digital source that should work well in a wide range of systems

What HiFi

High precision DAC

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 realises even higher responsiveness and S/N and reproduces even the most subtle sounds.

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.

Active noise cancelling

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.

SACD and MQA support

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.

The SL-G700 also holds plenty of cards when it comes to music sources. The disc section will play CDs and SACDs, while its streamer module connects to everything you would expect: NAS units, USB storage, Tidal, Deezer, Qobuz, Amazon Music, among others. Internet radio, and its thousands of stations, is a couple of button presses away.

If you’re shopping for an SACD player, there are no longer many choices available. The Technics SL-G700M2 is a very reasonably priced option considering its wealth of useful features, fantastic build quality, and excellent audio performance. I would not hesitate to add this superb network SACD player to my system if I were in the market for an optical disc player-DAC.

Highly recommended, this Technics unit makes it clear that we have to take the Japanese high end very seriously. The SL-G700M2 is also the kind of unit that might change the mind of even fanatic believers in analog; it is certainly one that every audiophile who has a digital front end that is several years old should audition. It makes it clear that there have been real advances in sound quality in recent years, ones you can really enjoy.
