The new SU-GX70 streaming amplifier is the first Technics product since the brand revitalization in 2014 with a HDMI ARC port. There has been strong demand for high-quality amplifiers allowing easy integration of a TV into the home Hi-Fi system for superior sound without the hassle of a complex multichannel system, the company says.
According to the press release, this new amplifier realizes very high sound quality at the HDMI ARC connection by using the parent company's (Panasonic) comprehensive experience of video signal treatment, allowing the full potential of the noise and distortion-free sound generated by Technics' proprietary full-digital amplification technology based on the JENO engine.
Technics said that a new Twin Power Supply helps deliver a high signal-to-noise ratio for superb, detailed sound, while the Clean Power Clock Generator technology, taken from their Reference Class components, enabling an ultimately stable clock signal for a high-precision digital signal processing.
The SU-GX70 is based on the Google Chromecast platform and allows the use of streaming services such as Spotify, TIDAL, Deezer, Qobuz and Amazon Music. It also supports MQA. For wireless network communication, Wi-Fi, Airplay2 and Bluetooth are on board. Two analog line-level inputs, 3 digital input as well as USB-A and USB-B support connectivity to a wide range of source components are offered. The SU-GX70 also supports internet radio and FM radio. Finally, a high-grade low-noise phono EQ allows hook up to a turntable with an MM pickup cartridge for a genuine audiophile performance.
The SU-GX70 is equipped with the "Space Tune" function, which enables the adjustment of sound space according to the room environment and installation location so that anyone can enjoy superb music reproduction.
