Analog is obsolete pure digital not class D ...


So says Euro Technics roll out of SUG700m2 marketing hype of real breakthrough? Pick it up at 3:18. Later they speak to their phono section which has been expanded over the first gen.

erik_squires would that be an improvement over class D or just a variation of a class D sound which I understand to be light in the bass.
My knowledge is also light on such matters but it sounds like an amp for everyone SS and analog guys alike as headphone and phono stage appear to be  very good

I think the strategy would be an interesting solution for a problem a lot of amps IMNSHO suffer from, which is a weakness in the bass for speakers near or below 3 Ohms there.  A lot of speakers made today have an impedance which dips below 300 Hz, and you can hear it.

Well, I hate this kind of broad classism since it is rarely borne out.  I've hear plenty of Class D amps which had better bass than some Class A or A/B.

I think it would be interesting to listen to for sure, but trying to arm chair guess what the sound would be like without actually listening to them... that's something I am experienced enough not to do.
The Technics is based on the GaN amplifier module, which to my ears IS a big deal. There are several GaN threads (including my own) which might help you
