Technics Audio Center Reviews

I use this with an SU-GX70 and it is not a good experience. For starters, the unit somehow seems to “forget” my WiFi network every few weeks, requiring a factory reset because TechnicsAudioCenter can no longer access it and Google Home sees it in some kind of half-disconnected state where it can detect the device but can’t connect to it.

TechnicsAudioCenter itself is slow to load music and VERY slow to paginate, and crashes somewhat regularly. Sometimes it’s a full app crash, but other times there are “feature crashes” where you try to do something and it looks like it’s trying, but then it gives up and just takes you back to wherever you were.

Very disappointing overall for a $2,000 device.

No more able to load Station nor Genre complete playlists. After two error messages only one track loaded. Latest firmware installed.

It is a shame that you need Google Home to setup the wireless / wifi!
Until this is fixed, it is not a true Technics/ Panasonic app!
Why sell your customers to google???

This application works fine for basic functions on the Technics SL-G700 SACD player/streamer. Though the player is excellent in most every way, TechnicsAudioCenter detracts from the quality-unbefitting a $3K USD player.

Specifically application is slow, seems to rely on Google Chromecast and is not very responsive. One of the Player features is MQA decoding. For streaming, this works OK with Tidal but really needs a native MQA capability to play Radio Paradise. This was important enough for me to pickup a Blusound Node (which BTW is superior in every way to TechnicsAudioCenter)

Technics/Panasonic please invest a bit to upgrade this application for usability, speed and yes, add Radio Paradise. Match the quality of your awesome hardware.

TechnicsAudioCenter serves Technics new multi-thousand dollars audio equipment. Let’s make it at the level of refinement as the audio equipment it serves.

In the meantime, please add Mid Range tone control to the already Bass and Treble tone controls in the SU-GX70 in the next app update.

Thanks from a Technics fan for the past 43 years!

App interface needs improvement. Navigation back and for while searching with apps like Tidal is finicky
