Which digital input to use? Technics SU-R1000 or Technics SL-G700

@stephencowslipI'm really sorry to hear that, I just got my new turntable that has balanced XLR connections which I intend to be using on the phone MC inputs. I really hope I don't encounter anything like this, but please keep me posted on what comes of your repair.

I honestly feel my time with the g700 had me so enamored with it considering the sound Improvement compared to my previous integrated amplifier, that now the r1000 needs a little time to grow and impress me while I listen to it.

I however committed the grand audiophile / Hi-Fi sin and swapping out every single component in my whole system for all different things within a matter of a month, so I'm completely at a loss as far as what I don't like, do like, and what is responsible for what I'm hearing.

@georgehifi I always find your posts very helpful and informative regardless of whatever misspeak takes place. So thank you for your post, thank you also for clarifying everything @ricevs the knowledge level of so many people on these forums really does impress me.

Side question, so the AKM chip in the r1000 then is just part of Technics own proprietary analog to digital conversion?

I don’t think there is anything "proprietary" in the AKM A/D circuit that Technics is using. Just using the AKM chip. Of course, the power supply used and the input stage used affects the sound.......so, in that sense everyone one who uses a particular chip will have a "one of a kind....in house design".

@georgehifi I always find your posts very helpful and informative regardless of whatever misspeak takes place.

Your welcome (or should that be "you are" or even "you’re") who cares!!!!!!!

Don’t have autocorrect, and it get’s across even with misspeak.
But seeing it’s bought up yet again, I’ll react just this once.

You have to understand I’m an Aussie, and couldn’t give a ratz a**e, (an Aussie polite slang saying for something much stronger).
Things like colour is wrong in the US but correct here, UK and Canada???????
And seeing we were all once British subjects at the start I think colour is the correct way.
Here "they’re" is the abbreviation for "they are" (numerous folk)
"their" (singular person).
You Yanks always pull me up on it, and to be honest I couldn’t give a ratz ****.

Cheers George

Shouldn’t digital coax into the SU-G700 be the best option because it avoids the D/A conversation step from the CD Player or Streamer?  Meaning why feed an analog signal into SU-G700 just to be converted back to digital?
