A network CD receiver with a full digital amplifier from Technics. It plays CDs, radio and records (MM phono input), and streams by Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2 and Google Cast. Available in Black, Silver or White.
Technics says the SA-C600 processes signals fully digitally in all stages from input to output, using its JENO Engine (Jitter Elimination and Noise-shaping Optimisation). It is rated at 60 W + 60 W into 4 ohms.
Why you will love it
Full digital amplifier with JENO Engine
Technics says compared to analogue transmission, its fully digital signal path is less susceptible to signal degradation caused by external noise. It says this gives more precise signal transmission and keeps the soft texture of analogue recordings.
The clock circuit power supply uses the same noise suppression circuit Technics employs in its SL-1000R turntable.


Twin power supply circuit system
Technics says the SA-C600 has a dedicated power supply for the amplifier circuits, independent from all other circuits, delivering power to two independent transformers.
Wiring between the transformers and the amplifier circuits is optimised for noise reduction.
Phono, CD, radio, streaming and digital sources
The SA-C600 has a built-in phono equaliser for MM cartridges, a CD player, DAB/DAB+/FM tuner, optical and coaxial digital inputs, USB-A and USB-B (PC), and a line input.
Technics says it supports Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Amazon Music, Internet Radio, Google Cast and more. It is compatible with MQA. Streaming services are operated by their providers and availability can change.


Space Tune and design
Space Tune adjusts the sound to suit the room. Use the Technics Audio Centre app (iOS only, per Technics) or one of four presets on the unit: Free, Wall, Corner or Shelf. An L/R Custom feature allows separate settings for each speaker.
Technics says the design uses texture, dimensions and materials from its turntables. It is available in Black, Silver or White.
