@bizdi , good for you! I hope you got a sweet deal on the Technics from the clueless former owner. I got my SU-G700M2 last week and it's a keeper and it keeps getting better the more I listen to it. Not the least bit bright.
All the best,

Yamaha A-S2100 vs Technics SU-G700
Hello Everyone,
Looking to see if anyone has A/B these two units. I am looking for an int amp to pair with Dynaudio C20 speakers. For now I have the bluesound node2 streamer which I will replace with something much better later. But for now I need to know how these two sonically compare. I do realize that yamaha is class a/b design and technics is class D. Thoughts would be much appreciated yet and please do not recommend a 3rd int amp :-). I prefer open airy (not thing n bright sound) decent mid and tighter bass.
Yamaha as2100 ~ $3,499
Technics SU G700 (built in dac) ~ $2,500
Thanks!

@mervo , Thanks for posting your findings and opinion. It’s just whetted my appetite and making all the more eager to get the SU-G700M2 when it finally hits our shores. Occasionally I check in with Musicdirect to annoy them on when it’s coming and to make sure I’m on the waiting list. Apparently, I’m not the only one as I was told that I am and so are many others and that the first shipment is already spoken for. Depending on how good you computer set up is, here’s a Youtube video of it on a Japanese review site. Unless you are fluent in Japanese (I'm not so I'm assuming what the set up is in the video), just cue up to the 11:16 mark and take a listen. The first two sample are with LACP off and then used. Then fast forward to the same set up but using only the preamp section of the Technics and a Triode Musashi amp section. They sound eerily similar:
