It's sad that Teac has abandoned the uncompromising Hi-Fi sector! Take a look inside a VRDS from the 2000s. The VRDS 25 had a massive aluminium mechanism, the case was divided into 3 distinct parts, the cast aluminium press plate covered the CD, which could not vibrate. Today, I can't imagine a machine built like these magnificent Teac VRDS CD players. Today, they're nothing more and nothing less than PC players in disguise, with a nice gold label on top ! 🙄🙄🙄
Just got it, primarily for my extensive SHM-SACD & MQA-CD collection (over 100 titles combined) and looking forward to the high-quality DAC. But I'm still not sure about how to use Google chromecast on my iPhone as I'm looking to connect to Spotify/Tidal/Apple Music and stream to my Anthem AVM 90 receiver. Wish the Technics had a friendly built-in GUI (graphical user interface) so I wouldn't have to use third party apps thru my iPhone. Next time GL700M3 add HDMI connector for SACD stereo & multi-channel output and also allow us to connect to a home theater receiver and see a menu on our TV so we can control everything from SACD to streaming.
RIGHT PATH, TECHNICS!
Ah, now this is a gorgeous unit! I'm also glad to see that SACD is still with us, as it's the only digital coding method that comes close to analog.
Beauty 👍🏻

The display screen of the SL-G700 failed 3 years after purchasing it. 😔
What is the DAC mk2 use this time?
3.5k?
Can anybody compare the sound characteristic of the original version (DAC Chip: AKM 4497) and the new M2 Version (DAC Chip: ESS 9026 Pro)?
$3.5K seems high for a product without multichannel SACD outputs and a small display screen.
Balanced outputs that can’t connect to the SU G 700M2 because it has no balanced connections.
No HDMI out = No SACD Multi-Channel Playback.
