REVIEW: Technics SL-G700 Network/SACD player

SACD, is that still around? Yeah, enough that giant Technics built this player, the SL-G700. https://www.technics.com/us/products/...

The free MA Recordings-Audiophilac samplers, both of them, are on the site's home page, right near the top of the page, https://www.marecordings.com/

CORRECTION: I was mistaken, the SL-G700 doesn't stream Qobuz.
