Teac VRDS701B CD Player
Unmatched Audio Precision with the TEAC VRDS701B
The Teac VRDS701B CD Player isn't just another CD player; it's a masterclass in audio precision and quality. It employs the newly-developed VRDS mechanism, a unique TEAC innovation that revolutionizes CD playback. By clamping the CD onto an aluminum turntable of the same diameter, this mechanism significantly reduces rotational and unwanted vibrations, enhancing the audio experience with exceptional clarity.
What Makes the VRDS701B Stand Out?
While conventional CD players rely on standard DAC ICs, the VRDS701B takes a bold step forward with the TEAC ΔΣ (Delta Sigma) discrete DAC. This groundbreaking DAC incorporates advanced algorithms within a discrete circuit, ensuring unparalleled audio fidelity. DSD signals remain untouched, while PCM signals are converted into 1-bit or multi-bit formats using a ΔΣ modulator. The result? An expansive soundstage with crystal-clear audio output.
Future-Ready Functionality
Unlike traditional CD players, the Teac VRDS701B is equipped to handle modern audio formats effortlessly. With full MQA decoding capabilities, it supports MQA CD playback and enables high-resolution audio through a USB DAC connection. The player also handles 22.5MHz DSD and 384kHz/32-bit PCM formats, ensuring compatibility with contemporary digital audio standards.
Enhanced Vibration Control for Pure Sound
TEAC's commitment to minimizing vibration is evident in the VRDS701B's design. The CD mechanism is semi-floated on a sub-chassis, reducing the transmission of motor and external vibrations. Additionally, a uniquely structured bridge section isolates vibrations effectively, delivering a wide and dynamic sound spectrum.
Dual Mono Structure: A Symphony of Separation
By employing two independent toroidal core transformers, one for each channel, the VRDS701B achieves a dual mono structure that ensures each channel's audio path remains isolated. This meticulous design approach prevents signal interference, resulting in a rich, three-dimensional soundscape.
Balanced Audio Output for Enhanced Clarity
Every stage of the analog signal transmission in the Teac VRDS701B is fully balanced, minimizing noise and optimizing the dynamic range. Whether you’re listening to high-resolution audio or standard CDs, the sense of spatial presence and clarity remains intact, creating an immersive listening experience.
Direct Power Amplifier Connection via TEAC-QVCS
The VRDS701B can be directly connected to a power amplifier without the need for a preamp. Thanks to the TEAC-QVCS (Quad Volume Control System), users can precisely adjust the volume in 0.5dB increments. This setup prevents gang errors and ensures a balanced audio output, making it a perfect addition to high-fidelity audio systems.
Power Supply and Stability: The Backbone of Premium Audio
Power delivery is another area where the VRDS701B excels. Equipped with three high-capacity toroidal core transformers dedicated to the analog, digital, and CD mechanism sections, the player provides a steady and clean power supply. This setup eliminates power fluctuations, delivering smooth and distortion-free audio reproduction.
Optimized USB DAC Functionality
The Teac VRDS701B is more than just a CD player; it also functions as a high-performance USB DAC. By connecting it to a computer via a USB Type-C port, users can enjoy playback of 22.5MHz DSD and 384kHz/32-bit PCM audio files. The inclusion of RDOT-NEO technology allows for upconversion of PCM signals, enhancing audio quality across all formats.
Advanced Clock Synchronization for Audiophiles
For those who seek even greater audio fidelity, the VRDS701B includes a 10MHz clock input. This feature allows synchronization with an external clock generator, further stabilizing playback and enhancing audio precision.
