Pristine audio with high-precision coherent D/A converter

The SL-G700M2 is equipped with a high-precision coherent D/A converter that ensures unparalleled digital-to-analog accuracy, bringing out every detail in your music. Powered by two ESS ES9026PRO DAC chips in a balanced, dual-mono design, it minimizes interference, delivering a vivid soundstage and rich musical depth. The unique discrete amplifier circuit improves responsiveness and signal-to-noise ratio, capturing even the finest audio details.

Learn more about Coherent Processing Technology

Experience crystal-clear sound like never before with Technics' innovative Coherent Processing technology. Designed to improve the accuracy of pulse signals, this cutting-edge mode minimizes amplitude and phase deviations during the D/A conversion process, even for high-resolution audio up to 192 kHz PCM. The result? Pure, pristine sound quality and an exceptionally clear soundstage that brings your music to life. Enjoy every note with unparalleled clarity and precision, thanks to Technics' advanced digital signal processing.

*DSD signals such as Super Audio CD are input directly to the DAC without this processing.

Multi-Stage Silent Power Supply for Impeccable Sound Quality

Enhance your listening experience with our cutting-edge Multi-Stage Silent Power Supply, designed for digital audio players. This technology eliminates noise through three stages: a high-speed switching power supply, a low-noise regulator, and active current-injection noise canceling.

The SL-G700M2 uses a 300 kHz high-speed switching power supply, which reduces noise interference and ensures a highly responsive power supply. The finely tuned low-noise regulator provides stable, ultra-clean power for impeccable sound quality. Listen to your music with crystal-clear precision, free from unwanted noise.

Clear, pure sound with current-injection active noise cancelling

Our new current-injection active noise cancelling technology takes your audio experience to the next level by eliminating unwanted noise. It works by detecting noise and applying a reverse-phase current to cancel it out. For even better noise reduction, we've combined this technology with a push/pull method, which improves the effectiveness of conventional noise cancelling. Enjoy clearer, purer audio with this innovative technology.

Premium design and build for superior sound quality

The SL-G700M2 is designed with four independent sections (power supply, digital interface, analog circuitry, and disk drive) to minimize interference and maintain audio quality. The three-layer chassis and aluminum die-cast disc tray ensure precise, vibration-free playback.

Externally, it features a stylish design with a 7 mm thick aluminum front panel, 3 mm thick aluminum side panels, and an engraved Technics logo for a refined, high-end finish.

Enjoy Super Audio CD, MQA, and new USB-B connectivity

The SL-G700M2 supports playback of high-quality Super Audio CDs and features a Pure Disc Playback mode for optimized sound. It fully supports MQA, allowing you to enjoy MQA files and MQA CDs in the highest quality.

It also handles various high-resolution formats such as WAV/AIFF, FLAC/ALAC, and DSD files. Thanks to the new USB-B port, you can easily connect to a network audio server or PC for seamless high-resolution audio playback. Enjoy superior audio and versatile playback options with the SL-G700M2.

Versatile music streaming options and high connectivity

The SL-G700M2 makes music streaming easy with support for Google Cast™, giving you access to a wide range of music services from Google Cast™-enabled apps. It also supports AirPlay 2, Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® for seamless wireless connections.

*A Google speaker with voice commands must be present in the same network.
