General description
The TEAC VRDS-701 is a versatile CD player equipped with a specially developed VRDS mechanism. This mechanism reduces vibration during playback by firmly clamping the CD to an aluminum turntable of the same diameter, ensuring stable rotation and accurate disc readout.
Instead of a standard DAC chip, the VRDS-701 uses TEAC’s proprietary ΔΣ discrete DAC, which applies unique algorithms in a discrete circuit. This contributes to detailed and clear sound reproduction.
In addition to playing regular CDs, the VRDS-701 offers support for MQA CDs and can function as a USB DAC, making it possible to play high-resolution audio files.
With a fully balanced dual-mono circuit structure, excellent channel separation is achieved. The TEAC-QVCS analog preamp circuit allows direct connection to a power amplifier, while the built-in headphone amplifier provides a powerful and detailed listening experience through headphones.
