TEAC - VRDS-701T CD Transport with MQA Decoding & External Clock Input - Silver

The VRDS-701T is a commemorative CD transport model that celebrates TEAC’s 70th anniversary. Utilizing their newly-developed VRDS mechanism it can maximize the true capabilities of a system when used in combination with a DAC.FeaturesNewly-Developed VRDS MechanismMQA Core Decoding FunctionS/PDIF Digital Outputs (Optical/Coaxial)10MHz External Clock InputDedicated Toroidal Core TransformersNewly-Developed VRDS MechanismStarting with a drive TEAC developed that has a long record of use in broadcast applications they added VRDS technologies which are part of the TEAC legacy.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 VRDSFor 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 MountingThe 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 sympathe
