∫ Features of this unit

This unit offers the following features:

Technics Digital Link

Technics has minimized 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 minimizes 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 sound.

Separated Analog/Digital Power Supply

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

∫ Recommended devices

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

Sound adjustment

The following sound effects can be added to the audio output.

Listening to more naturalsounding audio (Re-master)

≥ The factory default is “Off”.

Press [RE-MASTER] to select “On”/“Off”.

Direct mode

This unit can transmit input signals without passing them through its digital signal processor (DSP), via the shortest possible path. This enables faithful and high quality reproduction of original sound.

≥ The factory default is “Off”.

Press [DIRECT] to select “On”/“Off”.

Setting the sampling frequency

You can set an upper limit on the output sampling frequency range. Please note that the range that can be processed differs depending on the amplifier or D/A converter. For details, refer to the operating instructions of the connected device.

≥ The factory default is “32kHz-192kHz”.

Preparation

≥Set “Digital Output” to “On”.

1 Press [SETUP].

2Press [3, 4] repeatedly to select “D.Output fs” and then press [OK].

3Press [3, 4] to select an item and then press [OK].

≥You can select a sampling frequency of 96 kHz or 192 kHz.
