The Technics SU-V100D is an integrated amplifier designed to deliver high-quality audio performance. It features a unique 4-DAC 18-bit conversion system that utilizes two D/A converters for each left and right channel, separating the positive and negative components of the audio signal to virtually eliminate 0 cross distortion. This advanced D/A conversion capability is accompanied by a 4x oversampling digital filter, allowing for faithful reproduction of analog waveforms. The amplifier supports three sampling frequencies: 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, and 48 kHz, making it compatible with various audio sources such as CD players and DAT systems.
The power amplifier section employs a Voltage Current (VC-4) design, ensuring high fidelity by separating voltage control and current drive for each channel, thereby providing both accurate signal reproduction and sufficient power for speaker drive. A robust power supply, featuring dual 300 VA transformers and high-capacity 65,600 μF electrolytic capacitors, enhances regulation and performance.
Additional features include a power amplifier direct function, which facilitates a simpler signal path for purer amplification, and a P.C.L. low-impedance volume that improves signal-to-noise ratio by approximately 10 dB. The amplifier also boasts a twin monaural configuration, isolating left and right signals to minimize interference. High-quality components, including carefully selected capacitors and high-purity wires, contribute to its superior sound quality.
In terms of specifications, the Technics SU-V100D delivers an effective output of 150W per channel (6 ohms, 0.005% THD), with a total harmonic distortion of just 0.002%. The frequency response ranges from 0.8 Hz to 150 kHz, and it has a signal-to-noise ratio of 115 dB. The amplifier is designed for a load impedance of 4 to 16 ohms and offers various input sensitivities for different sources.
Overall, the SU-V100D is built for enthusiasts looking for intricate sound details and robust performance, paired with a sturdy and vibration-resistant chassis design.
