TECHNICS are going for it in their 55th anniversary year, today announcing also a new SU-R1000 Integrated Amplifier to join their 'Reference Class' product series - but not due out until the end of 2020!
Little detail has been released but it is described as "Technics' first Reference Class integrated amplifier".
From the Press Release (see What Hi-Fi?):
"It will feature Technics' JENO Engine (jitter elimination and noise-shaping optimization), which aims to reduce sound degradation due to the loss of digital information.
In other acronyms, the SU-R1000 will also have LAPC (load adaptive phase calibration) on board, which is Technics' tech for adjusting the amp's performance according to the electrical characteristics of the speakers it's playing through.
New for this amp is ADCT (active distortion cancelling technology), which promises to eliminate distortion "caused by speaker counter electromotive power and power supply voltage drops". There's also a newly-developed high-speed, low-noise switching power supply (Advanced Speed Silent Power Supply) .
Unsurprisingly, the amplifier will have a phono XLR input, which employs digital technology to deliver an accurate EQ curve. Technics says an included Calibration Record allows for the measurement and compensation of the cartridge’s crosstalk and frequency response using Crosstalk Canceller and Response Optimiser.
There are also two USB-B inputs, a high-rigidity chassis and – crucially, for some – two large VU meters."
An included Calibration Record!
