Delivering all the dynamics of your music, a high performance integrated amplifier with balanced input capability.
The AX-505 is a stereo integrated amplifier that delivers 130W + 130W of output power but occupies just an A4-size footprint.
In the power amplifier section we’ve employed a cool-running and energy-efficient option, a TEAC-tuned Ncore module by Hypex from Netherlands. Its clear sound with low distortion and high Signal-to-Noise ratio reproduces Hi-Res audio content with true dynamism and musical verve.
In addition, the AX-505 also provides high quality headphone listening, via an integrated headphone amplifier, one that that supports ‘ground separate’ connection.
Admittedly more ‘eye-candy’ than a functional necessity, a pair of eye-catching level meters on the front panel track musical volume levels as they ebb and flow. The user experience is further enhanced by the presence of a well-damped volume control finished with a machined aluminum knob for precise volume adjustment. A Passive-cooling design, for completely silent operation, allows the listener to focus on their music without the distraction of irritating fan noise
Combine this state-of-the-art stereo integrated amplifier with TEAC's latest standalone DAC unit, the UD-505, or the NT-505 USB DAC/Network Player and you can revel in all the benefits of high-spec, Hi-Res audio, such as DSD512 and PCM 768kHz content.

"Our goal has always been to record the musician's performance and the engineer's intentions faithfully to deliver them clearly to the listener's ears. We have created numerous audio products with this goal in mind. From the early days of reel-to-reel decks to today's digital age of high-resolution playback, media has changed dramatically, but TEAC's vision remained the same. We are committed to continue to provide products that are made with the utmost care and attention, for people just like you who love music."
