Teac VRDS-701T

The VRDS-701T is a commemorative CD transport model that celebrates TEACs 70th anniversary. Utilizing their newly-developed VRDS mechanism, it can maximize the true capabilities of a system when used in combination with a DAC.

Vibration-Free Rigid Disc-Clamping System (VRDS) This TEAC-original CD drive mechanism reduces rotation vibration of the disc itself as well as unwanted mechanism vibration by clamping the CD to an aluminum turntable with the same diameter and maximizing inertial mass in order to stabilize rotation. Servo current is reduced with the turntable by correcting disc warping and distortion and improving the relative optical axis precision of the pickup and disc pit side. This realizes reduced disc reading errors and outstanding audio quality. Bridge Section Supports the VRDS For the bridge section, TEAC carefully selected lightweight materials that are very rigid and do not transmit vibration. By naturally settling vibrations quickly, TEAC has realized a wide, dynamic sound. The bridge, which has a torus structure made of resin, is only fixed on one side, and propagation of vibration from the CD mechanism to the opposite side through the bridge is suppressed, so the entire mechanism minimizes unwanted sympathetic vibrations. Semi-Floating Mounting The entire CD mechanism is mounted on the sub-chassis in a semi-floating state. By controlling the transmission of vibrations between the CD mechanism and the chassis, the impact of sympathetic vibrations is abated, and natural playback sound is realized throughout the frequency range. By isolating motor

The VRDS-701T commemorative CD transport is engineered to unlock reference-level digital playback, pairing a newly developed VRDS disc-clamping system with precision vibration control to deliver exceptional accuracy and musicality. The rigid aluminum turntable, lightweight high-rigidity bridge, and semi-floating sub-chassis minimize resonance, redu... morece servo error, and stabilize rotation for cleaner reads. Optimized purely for digital output, it features optical and coaxial S/PDIF, a built-in MQA core decoder for 88.2 kHz output, and a 10 MHz external clock input for system-wide synchronization. Dual high-capacity toroidal transformers, floating-mounted power sections, tuned heat-sink fins, and three pinpoint feet further suppress vibration, while control connectivity supports seamless system integration. Dedicated circuitry and meticulous mechanical isolation elevate dynamics, timing, and transparency across the full frequency range.
