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

I know why now why there’s no reviews mentioned yet: 
"Scheduled to be released in mid-February 2021"

Found some pics on a Japanese website, very impressive internals for a Class-D. And the outside looks good also.

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
