Effectively removes noise to deliver a pure listening experience.

Just like the R1 series, the ST-C700 employs a jitter remover, a common mode filter for its LAN input, and a pulse transformer for its digital interface, thus improving the purity of its sound by blocking the entry of external noise.

Virtual Battery Operation reduces noise generated by the power supply circuit by using the reference potential generating circuit for charging the capacitor.

The Optimally Activated Circuit System shuts down unneeded digital modules, such as those for display, network, USB and digital interfaces, to minimise the noise generated during playback.

Technics High Res Re-master converts an audio source to a high-resolution signal of up to 192 kHz/32 bits, pushing the effects of any digital noise beyond the audible band, and allowing natural and expressive sound, closer to the original music.

The oversampling digital filter incorporating Technics' original algorithm accurately removes the image to the -160 dB level or lower by using an oversampling digital filter, thus reproducing sound rich with spatial expression.

The ST-C700 uses Technics’ low-noise Digital Noise Isolation Architecture, a high-precision clock, and a high-precision D/A converter (Burr-Brown PCM1795(Texas Instruments)). The analogue circuits use high-quality components for the purest possible sound.
