∫Features of this unit

This unit offers the following features:

Technics Digital Link

Technics has minimised the length of the signal path by enclosing the network audio player and input selector, which handle very weak signals, into the same chassis, and reduced noise entering weak signals as much as possible by using a separate chassis for the power amplifier, which handles high frequencies and large currents. In addition, Technics’s newly developed signal transmission interface minimises the degradation of time accuracy and amplitude accuracy that occurs when signals are transmitted between the network control player and the power amplifier, achieving an ideal amplifier configuration.

Digital Noise Isolation Architecture

Since most digital content storage media are intended for use with PCs, they are not designed with consideration for low noise, which is critical to pure audio reproduction. To overcome this challenge, this unit employs a thorough measure against jitter and outstanding noise blocking technology for each of its interfaces, delivering clear and stable sound.

Separated Analogue/Digital Power Supply

A dedicated low-noise R-core transformer with excellent regulation characteristics is provided individually for analogue and for digital circuit, achieving high quality sound reproduction.

∫ Recommended devices

We recommend using Technics devices (optional) for superior audio quality.

∫ Funktionen dieses Geräts

Dieses Gerät bietet folgende Funktionen:

Technics Digital Link

Technics hat die Länge des Signalpfads minimiert, indem der Netzwerk-Audio-Player und der Eingangswähler, die sehr schwache Signale verarbeiten, in das gleiche Gehäuse gesetzt wurden, und das in schwache Signale gelangende Rauschen so weit wie möglich reduziert, indem ein separates Gehäuse für den Leistungsverstärker verwendet wird, das hohe Frequenzen und Ströme verarbeitet. Darüber hinaus minimiert Technics' neu entwickelte Signalübertragungsschnittstelle den Abbau der Zeitgenauigkeit und Amplitudengenauigkeit, die auftreten, wenn Signale zwischen dem Netzwerk-Control-Player und dem Leistungsverstärker übertragen werden. Dadurch wird eine ideale Verstärkerkonfiguration erzielt.

Digital Noise Isolation-Architektur

Da die meisten Speichermedien für digitale Inhalte zur Nutzung mit PCs ausgelegt sind, werden diese nicht unter Berücksichtigung eines niedrigen Rauschens konzipiert, was für eine reine Audiowiedergabe entscheidend ist. Um diese Herausforderung zu überwinden, nutzt dieses Gerät eine eingehende Maßnahme gegen Jitter sowie eine hervorragende Technologie zur Rauschunterdrückung für jede einzelne Schnittstelle, um einen klaren und stabilen Klang zu gewährleisten.

Getrennte Analog-/Digital-Stromversorgung

Ein spezieller rauscharmer R-Core-Transformator mit hervorragenden Regeleigenschaften wird individuell für Analogund Digitalschaltungen bereitgestellt, um eine hohe Klangqualität zu erzielen.

∫ Empfohlene Geräte

Wir empfehlen die Verwendung von Technics-Geräten (Sonderzubehör) für eine überragende Audioqualität.
