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


Cheers George

I would also like to learn more about this integrated, hoping for more reviews, particularly with comparisons to other equipment.  

A lot makes sense regarding the technology, and for someone like me that streams only for audio, and wants a HT bypass this is another nice option.  Looks great also.

I am hoping Music Direct gets a few in as they list it.  Assuming their return policy would be good with this I would like to try it (with the intent of keeping it if I loved it).

I've always liked Class D for bass, but I do like a big soundstage and do not want a treble forward unit.

Internationally famous Class D basher ignores DSP feed-forward circuitry in it’s entirety and posits his personal opinion as fact with zero data.

I think you could try PS Audio M1200s (IcePower AS1200 modules, tube input buffer) with a 30 day.


I have a dual mono AS1200 amp from ricevs that is amazing. No need of tube preamp here
