TEAC PD-507T CD Transport
The TEAC PD-507T CD Transport is engineered for pristine digital audio output, allowing you to integrate high-quality CD playback into various audio systems. It features TEAC's highly acclaimed in-house CD transport mechanism, refined from the robust CD-5020A model known for its broadcast industry reliability. The semi-floating drive mount architecture and custom-tuned drive control circuitry work together to minimize vibrations and ensure precise CD reading for an open sound stage. With independent power supplies for clock and digital outputs, a low phase noise crystal clock oscillator, and an optional 10MHz external clock input, the PD-507T prioritizes signal purity and system upgradability. Its amber OLED display and stress-less isolation feet complement its sophisticated design.
