Review: DON'T BUY TEAK, You will regret it! - TEAK is JUNK! Don't waste your money buying a TEAK. Years ago TEAK used to be a good company. I had previously owned a few TEAK decks (R/R and cassette) in the 80's and 90's. Recently, I purchased 2 TEAK CD players, one for my home, one for my S/O's home. Both decks stopped working, for different reasons, after less than a year! TEAK HAS NO WARRANTEE OR CUSTOMER SERVICE IN NORTH AMERICA. After inquiring I was told that TEAK no longer had customer service in the US and I'd have to ship these defective machines to Japan if I wanted to get them repaired under warrantee, which would have cost nearly $300.00 just for shipping!!!! Sadly, I was told that TEAK would only pay to ship them back to me IF they could be repaired. Desperately, I called a local electronic repair shop, they said they'd charge $70.00 each just to test and diagnose these defective machines. TEAK has turned it's back on American consumers. These pieces of junk ($600) are sitting in my basement, waiting to be recycled. DON'T BUY TEAK PRODUCTS, YOU WILL REGRET IT. I have since purchased audiolab 6000cdt and I am pleased with my purchases; wished I hadn't wasted my time and money on the TEAK Junk. I will NEVER buy TEAK again. Shame!
Review: I love the idea of a modern DAC design incorporated with a good transport. The DAC section has inputs so other digital sources can feed in. This is quite rare. What a gorgeous machine - the latest in a long line of VRDS machines and I liked the idea of a super stable disc spinner. BUT BUT BUT. After a few hours over a couple of days I was intrigued to see how much better the TEAC was compared to an expensive 90's player (Rotel RCD991 - had for years. £100 second hand) and a Topping DX5 (DAC new open box purchase costing £200). BTW lasers for the Rotel are abundant and cheap which is not the case for many highly rated spinners from Sony and Philips from the 90's on. Early VRDS models have a Sony KSS151 or KSS190 laser assembly and they are into £300 to £500 to replace. I could hear some differences but nothing that put the TEAC above the gear mentioned above. The sound was gorgeous with a soundstage and depth but that was more to do with a pure class A Sugden amp feeding gorgeous and genuinely rare Mission 754f Freedoms. I could make that comparison comparing the TEAC feeds via the Topping DAC and straight from the CD spinner to another input on the Sugden. I could not square £2500 with £300. BTW I had my son in on some blind testing and the experience was the same. Some differences, mostly slight, not unpleasant but not an unambiguous win for the TEAC. If it was pitched at £1500 to £1700 I think you can justify that sort of money - not least because it is well engineered, gorgeous, built like a tank and competent - but just competent.

## Features

- STATE-OF-THE-ART DAC: Comprised of discrete circuitry that uses field-programmable gate array (FPGA) and incorporates our original algorithms on both channels. The end result? Improved signal to noise (S/N) ratio – each channel processes in monaural mode and delivers DSD512 (22.5MHz) native and 384kHz/32-bit pulse-code modulation (PCM) playback capabilities.
- BUILT-IN MQA DECODER: With full MQA decoder built-in, your highest res file formats such as FLAC and WAV will playback with all the quality and depth of the original recording. Great for those seeking a powerful and refined approach to high fidelity home entertainment.
- PROPRIETARY VRDS TECHNOLOGY: The pinnacle in CD transport technology, this single-well CD Player utilizes a Vibration-Free Rigid Disc-Clamping System (VRDS) derived from the TEAC’s flagship HiFi line, Esoteric. Incorporating our newly developed Delta Sigma 32-bit discrete DAC and functioning as a preamplifier, the VRDS-701 matches seamlessly with the TEAC AP-701B Stereo Power Amplifier.
- AUDIOPHILE-LEVEL ACOUSTIC EXPRESSION: Four TEAC HCLD buffer amp circuits allow different drive modes (fully balanced and parallel), working in-sync with TEAC QVCS volume control for ideal sound quality. The VRDS-701 also features three upconversion settings: 2x, 4x, and 8x.
- BUILT-IN HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER: Featuring a dedicated driver that uses a high-output circuit with low distortion, the VRDS-701’s headphone amplifier achieves a high S/N ratio and 2000V/μs through rate, equivalent to a current transmission enhancing output line driver. This will maximize the potential of your headphones so you can kick back and relax in perfect stereo.
- STABLE DATA TRANSMISSION: Using Bulk Pet USB transmission technology, the VRDS-701 achieves constant transmission at a fixed data volume, enabling steady data transmission by smoothing the loads for processing via transmitting computer and receiving USB DAC. Since the audio quality can be altered by changing the load on the computer, four preset transmission modes can be chosen according to the desired audio quality.
