Audiophile-quality sound
Spec’d with a high-performance ESS Sabre 9026PRO DAC and dual-mono circuit topology, the SL-G700M2 delivers audiophile-grade performance that punches way above its price range. But Technics didn’t stop there, specifying a proprietary 4-section architecture with a discrete amplifier circuit and an advanced, high-speed switching power supply that ensure the pristine front-end sound makes it to your preamp or receiver (high-quality cables are always recommenced). Headphone enthusiasts will also be rewarded with sonic nirvana, thanks to the unit’s integrated Class AA headphone amp with its own discrete DAC circuit. With its high-rigidity chassis, die-cast aluminum disc tray, and an ultra-stable SACD mechanism, the Technics SL-G700M2 Network Super Audio CD player features exemplary build quality for many years of faithful service.
Wireless versatility
The SL-G700M2 features Chromecast built-in and Apple AirPlay for streaming audio from a network-connected device hosting popular services such as Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, Amazon Music, and others. iPhone and iPad owners can stream directly with Siri voice-control convenience, while Chromecast users can issue voice commands through Google Home devices.
Flexible connectivity
The Technics SL-G700M2 is fitted with optical and coaxial digital inputs, plus one USB-B and two USB-A ports compatible with high-res WAV, AIFF, ALAC, FLAC, AAC, and MP3 files, letting you connect and play music from computers, external drives, or audio servers. There's also an Ethernet port on the rear panel for connecting to your home network. And should you desire to use an external DAC, there are also optical and coaxial digital outputs.
