Commemorating the 70th anniversary of our founding, this model brings innovation and epitomizes TEAC strengths, including a newly-developed VRDS mechanism.
The VRDS-701 CD player employs a newly-developed VRDS mechanism and a TEAC original discrete DAC.
The VRDS is a TEAC-original CD drive mechanism that reduces rotation vibration and other unwanted vibration
by clamping the CD to an aluminum turntable with the same diameter in order to maximize inertial mass.
Furthermore, instead of an ordinary DAC IC for the DAC section, which is crucial to audio quality,
the VRDS-701 has a TEAC ΔΣ (delta-sigma) discrete DAC that incorporates our unique algorithms in a discrete circuit.
Unconstrained by conventional CD player definitions, the VRDS-701 is enhanced with future-forward functionality.
The ability to play MQA CDs using full MQA decoding capabilities and support for 22.5MHz DSD and
384kHz/32-bit PCM formats as a USB DAC are some of the features that make it more than just a CD player.

"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."
