CD / SACD players and transports — TEAC PD-507T

Description, images, technical data and specifications

The PD-507T is a CD transport from TEAC, the Japanese audio electronics maker with a long history in the field. It is a dedicated disc-reading mechanism without its own digital-to-analogue conversion, so it always works with a separate DAC.

Key specs that matter

The digital output has an impedance of 75 ohms. The chassis measures 290 x 84.5 x 248.8 mm and weighs 4.0 kg, compact enough for a modest equipment shelf and much smaller than many high-end transports.

Engineering and use context

As a transport, it reads the disc and sends out the digital data, while the conversion to analogue is left to the external DAC.

Pairing

A complete playback chain needs a separate DAC to receive the digital signal, which adds cost beyond the transport itself.

Alternatives

The VRDS-701T belongs to TEAC's higher-tier range of transports built on the VRDS disc mechanism.
