Details

The TEAC VRDS-701 CD Player celebrates TEAC's 70th anniversary with cutting-edge technology and exceptional audio quality. This model features the newly-developed VRDS mechanism and a TEAC original discrete DAC to enhance your listening experience.

The VRDS-701 uses a unique VRDS mechanism that clamps the CD to an aluminum turntable, minimizing rotation vibration and improving audio stability. The discrete DAC section incorporates TEAC's proprietary algorithms to deliver superior sound quality with high-resolution formats.
Beyond traditional CD playback, the VRDS-701 supports MQA CDs, 22.5MHz DSD, and 384kHz/32-bit PCM formats via USB DAC, making it a versatile component in any high-fidelity audio setup.
