TEAC VRDS-701T CD Transport – Black

The TEAC VRDS-701T is a premium CD transport developed to commemorate TEAC’s 70th anniversary, featuring a newly engineered VRDS (Vibration-Free Rigid Disc-Clamping System) mechanism. Designed to extract the highest level of performance from your CD collection, it delivers exceptionally accurate digital playback when paired with a high-quality external DAC.

By eliminating unnecessary vibration and ensuring stable disc rotation, the VRDS-701T provides precise signal reading and outstanding sonic clarity. Ideal for high-end audio systems, it offers flexible integration with external DACs and master clock generators for ultimate system performance.

Key Features

• Newly developed VRDS CD transport mechanism
• Rigid disc-clamping system reduces vibration and improves accuracy
• Designed for use with external DACs for superior sound quality
• Supports Audio CDs, CD-R, and CD-RW discs
• 10MHz external clock input for system synchronization
• Selectable digital outputs for optimized signal purity
• High-quality construction for stable and reliable operation
• Commemorative 70th anniversary model

Advanced VRDS Mechanism

The VRDS system clamps the disc to a precision aluminum turntable of equal diameter, significantly reducing rotational vibration and unwanted resonance. This ensures improved data accuracy and a more natural, detailed sound reproduction.

System Integration Flexibility

The VRDS-701T is designed to work seamlessly with external DACs such as the UD-701N, allowing users to take full advantage of advanced digital-to-analog conversion technologies. The inclusion of a 10MHz clock input enables synchronization with external master clocks for even greater performance.

Pure Digital Output

By focusing solely on digital signal output without an internal DAC, the VRDS-701T maintains signal integrity and allows audiophiles to customize their system with the DAC of their choice.
