Technics SU-R1000 a new Class-D GaN Technology integrated

I would be interested in this product.  Looking for a great integrated into retirement.  Hope it delivers.

I'm pretty sure the figure of 750 to 900 kHz, less than 1 MHz, was written somewhere in relation to the G30. I remember being disappointed that it's not the promised 1.5 MHz, but also thinking that maybe it was good enough. Recall that I used to own it. Now possibly it's 50W into 8 ohms wasn't enough to really get my ProAc D30Rs into the zone but I remember being left cold by the sound which I thought was sterile / boring. I also thought the MQA didn't really sound any different through it. It had an internet radio function which was cool. I also remember being disappointed by various problems the built-in UI had, but those were ultimately manageable. I'm sure it's been fixed by now.

I would like to hear the SE-R1 if I can find a dealer somewhere I can listen to it.

SU-R1000  might be just the ticket if the promise of 1.5 MHz bears fruit.

Here’s something interesting, they gone all out could be a good sign, it uses a clock that is battery powered, must be rechargeable with it own charging system..

• Thorough noise countermeasures improve clock accuracy and reduce jitter.
  

"Battery Driven Clock Generator & Low Jitter"

"Battery Driven Clock Generator" is used for the power supply of the clock circuit to improve the accuracy of the clock, which is the standard of operation in a full digital amplifier. By using a battery as the power supply for the clock circuit, the adverse effects of power supply noise on the clock circuit have been eliminated, enabling highly clear sound image localization and clear spatial expression. Moreover, the clock itself has adopted a low phase noise type, and has been thoroughly improved in accuracy.

It also has balanced input for the phono stage, for the T/T lovers

And it can be used as a Pre-amp only or Power-amp only, or Integrated

And the dac has 6 digital inputs in 3 different configurations, using the (Asahi Kasei Electronics) aka AKM top D to A converter

This is a real "Swiss Army Knife" of Integrated Amplifiers

Here is one in black.

You know it has an 8mm!!! thick front panel and 6mm sides and top! "it’s a swiss army tank"

Also while not a review yet, a good deal of spiel on it here.

And this is interesting for the T/T crew, all phono stages I know do their RIAA curve using passive componet filtering this thing does it using digital filtering, said to mimic much more accurately to the RIAA curve. and be less noisy, less distortion as well.
