Looks very interesting :-)...
Technics SU-R1000 a new Class-D GaN Technology integrated
Maybe one to look out for.
There’s a new approx $10K integrated Class-D from Technics called the SU-R1000 Integrated Amplifier around 22 kg, 150w-8ohm and 300w-4ohms, would have been nice to see what it could do into 2ohms
.
Said to have many of the GaN Class-D features of the far bigger SE-R1. But nowhere yet can I find if it uses the 1.5mhZ switching frequency that "makes" the SE-R1 what it is.
Also it uses smp power supplies, even though it’s 22kg, Unlike the SE-R1 at some 60Kg because of it linear supplies.
No reviews or measurement tests as yet for this one from Technics
Cheers George

Once I find a review and hopefully bench test done, I'll post them up. This one really looks the affordable goods using GaN, if it also used 1.5mhz switching speed, like the SE-R1. If anyone find more info on this please post it up. I also found, I think it has a built-in DAC and MQA (not that mqa means anything to me) as well MC MM Phono Cheees George |
I think we already found that the SU-G30 it was not 1.5mhZ switching speed just after it was released, but around the 600khz that most uses today. Can you put up a link to show the 1.5mhZ switching speed PS: Sorry, you maybe right, that could have been the SU-G700 that wasn’t 1.5mhZ, maybe the SU-G30 is? And if so then the SU-R1000 would have to follow also, they’d be mad not to. Cheers George |
There is a graph at http://https//www.technics.com/us/products/grand-class-g30/network-audio-amplifier-su-g30.html near the top in the JENO Engine section The graph is labeled "Output of G30 JENO Engine". And in the graph it says 1.5 MHZ operation. I am not totally sure that is the switching speed though. Technics just mentions "high speed switching" in other places without explicitly stating the actual number when talking about the SU-G30's GaN-fets. |
