TEAC VRDS-701 Dual Monaural USB/DAC CD Player
TEAC VRDS-701 Dual Monaural USB/DAC CD Player
VRDS CD Mechanism • TEAC ΔΣ 32-Bit Discrete DAC • Dual Monaural Design • USB-C DAC Input • MQA Full Decoder • 10MHz Clock Input • Balanced XLR Outputs • Headphone Amplifier • Preamp Functionality
TEAC VRDS-701 CD Player with Discrete DAC, VRDS Transport, and Preamplifier Control
The TEAC VRDS-701 is a high-performance CD player, USB DAC, digital preamplifier, and headphone amplifier built for serious two-channel systems. Created as part of TEAC’s Reference 700 Series, it combines the brand’s newly developed VRDS disc mechanism with a proprietary TEAC ΔΣ 32-bit discrete DAC for precise, expressive digital playback.
At the heart of the VRDS-701 is TEAC’s Vibration-Free Rigid Disc-Clamping System, designed to reduce disc rotation vibration, stabilize playback, and improve disc-reading accuracy. The unit also functions as a capable digital hub, with USB-C, coaxial, and optical digital inputs, plus coaxial and optical digital outputs for flexible system integration.
With balanced XLR outputs, RCA analog outputs, variable output capability, a built-in headphone amplifier, MQA decoding, PCM support up to 384kHz/32-bit, DSD support up to 22.5MHz, and a 10MHz external clock input, the VRDS-701 is designed for listeners who want a refined single-box digital source without sacrificing system flexibility.
Highlights & Benefits
- Newly Developed VRDS Mechanism — Clamps the CD to an aluminum turntable to reduce unwanted vibration and improve read accuracy.
- TEAC ΔΣ 32-Bit Discrete DAC — Proprietary FPGA-based DAC design supports high-resolution PCM and native DSD playback.
- Dual Monaural Architecture — Independent left and right signal paths help improve channel separation and sonic focus.
- USB-C DAC Input — Supports PCM up to 384kHz/32-bit and DSD up to 22.5MHz.
- Built-In MQA Full Decoder — Enables high-quality playback of compatible MQA sources.
- Balanced & Unbalanced Outputs — Includes XLR and RCA analog outputs with fixed and variable output modes.
- Headphone Amplifier — Front-panel 6.3mm headphone output delivers up to 500mW + 500mW into 32 ohms.
- External Clock Ready — 10MHz BNC clock input allows integration with compatible master clock systems.
Technology & Performance
VRDS Disc-Clamping System — TEAC’s VRDS mechanism reduces disc vibration by clamping the CD to an aluminum turntable with the same diameter, helping stabilize rotation and reduce read errors.
Discrete DAC Design — Rather than using an off-the-shelf DAC chip, the VRDS-701 uses TEAC’s proprietary ΔΣ 32-bit discrete DAC architecture with FPGA processing and original algorithms.
Digital Preamp Functionality — Variable XLR and RCA outputs allow the VRDS-701 to connect directly to a power amplifier in many systems.
Flexible Digital Integration — USB-C, coaxial, optical, digital outputs, 12V trigger input/output, and 10MHz clock input make the VRDS-701 suitable for advanced hi-fi and custom installation systems.
FAQ — TEAC VRDS-701
Is the TEAC VRDS-701 only a CD player?
No. It functions as a CD player, USB DAC, digital preamplifier, and headphone amplifier.
Does the VRDS-701 support SACD?
No. The VRDS-701 supports audio CD and CD-R/CD-RW discs in CD-DA format. It does not support 8cm CDs.
