JENO Engine (Jitter Elimination and Noise Shaping Optimization)
The SU-C700 is an all-digital amplifier that processes high-resolution digital signals without noise and distortion and delivers them to the loudspeakers. Technics has developed a completely new jitter reduction circuit to prevent the effects of digital jitter on the music signal. This circuit consists of a clock generator for noise shaping to reduce jitter in the low frequency range and a high-precision sample rate converter in the high frequency range. To prevent errors when converting to PWM (pulse width modulation), Technics has developed a new PWM converter assembly. The circuit optimizes the noise shaping speed, the degree of requantization number and the PWM gradation; thus, the conversion into PWM signals is achieved without damaging the dynamic range of the high-resolution signals. The SU-C700 clocks both the noise shaping and the power output stage twice as fast as a conventional digital amplifier. As a result, it provides high-precision amplification with extremely low noise.

LAPC (Load Adaptive Phase Calibration)
Technics has developed a function that enables the amplifier to measure the phase and impedance properties of the connected loudspeakers and optimize them accordingly so that the impedance characteristics of the low-bass filter on the output side do not affect the frequency representation, as is the case with conventional digital amplifiers. This optimization algorithm works with digital signal processing and thus achieves an ideal impulse response. The correction processing based on this new algorithm achieves a flat frequency response in contrast to conventional amplifiers – both in amplitude and in phase. The result is sound reproduction with a very precise spatiality.

Battery operated clock generator
In digital audio, improving clock precision plays an important role in sound quality. The clock-giving assembly is the reference point for all digital processes. However, the noise from the power supply is detrimental to the clock circuit, which is why Technics introduced the battery-powered clock circuit. This has already been used successfully in analog amplifiers in the past. The result is improved clock precision, resulting in a more defined sound image and delicate spatial expressiveness.
