TEAC PD-501HR -New $850DSD/PCM/CD Player/Transport
LIKE NEW Condition - Virtually unused.
Originally purchased to serve as a transport to play 24/192kHz PCMrecordings on DVD discs (no PC needed);later decided to go with computer streaming instead.
The ruggedVACS (Vibration Acoustic Control Structure)mechanism employed in this deckis similar to that used in Teac\'s top-tier Esoteric transport that retails for over $10,000.The player also incorporatesseparate power supplies for analog and digital sections.Frequency response of 20 to 80 kHzS/N ratio of 116 dBDynamic range of 118 dB, 0.004% of THD on PCM playback,and a BlackFin processor for signal processing.This sale includes everything that came in the box.
Free shipping to contiguous US only.Sorry, NO international sale.buyers with response score of less than 5 MUST contact me before offerding;otherwise offer will be canceled (sorry, been burned twice).

Advanced Digital Circuits for Fine Audio Formats5.6 MHz DSD Disc Playback Without the Need for a PC ConnectionThe PD-501HR plays back DSD files recorded to DVD discs, thereby eliminating the need for any PC. Conventional DVD writing software is capable of burning DSD discs, by writing dsf files to recordable DVD discs (DVD-R/-RW/+R/+RW).1DSD Native Playback by Pure ModeConventional DSD processors convert PCM files prior to converting to an analog signal. The PD-501HR employs a Pure Mode, directly processing DSD into an analog signal. This lets you enjoy pure DSD sound that is not possible with normal PCM-conversion.24 bit/192 kHz PCM File PlaybackThe PD-501HR also supports PCM file (wav format) and up to 24 bit/192 kHz of high-resolution audio without the need for a PC connection.Pure Audio Circuits, Designed with a Classic Audio TheoryVACS (Vibration Acoustic Control Structure)While reading signals from a rotating disc, vibrations can cause a read error and negatively affect the sound quality by missing some of the original data on the disc. To eliminate vibrations and reach apt data reading, the PD-501HR employs a vibration control mechanism, VACS, for a smooth rotation.Cirrus Logic\'s Flagship DSD-Supported DAC CS4398CS4398 by Cirrus Logic is utilized to achieve 120 dB of dynamic range. The CS4398 also employs un-damped volume control and a Mismatch Shaping Technology to eliminate distortion caused by capacitor mismatching.JRC NJM5532 for Operational Amplifier on Analog SectionThe field-proven and well-reputed JRC\'s NJM5532 operational amplifier has been applied to the analog circuits.6-Layer Circuit Boards to Simplify Signal PathsIn order to reduce the signal paths throughout the circuits, each part has been carefully laid out on 6-layer glass-epoxy motherboards. This design reduces and simplifies the signal paths and helps improve the sound quality.Separated Power Supply Units for Digital and Analog Sections as well as Cleaner Power SupplySeparate power supply units for the digital and analog sections help prevent digital noise that can leak across the sections over the current. Schottky Barrier Diodes are also employed on the rectifier circuit to supply cleaner current by eliminating rectification noise.High Audio PerformanceThe PD-501HR is a high-performing CD player with 20 to 80 kHz of frequency response, 116 dB of S/N ratio, 118 dB dynamic range, and 0.004% of THD on PCM playbackOther FeaturesMax Power Consumption: 11W - Green TechnologyThe PD-501HR maintains low power consumption, without sacrificing sound quality. With a maximum 11W of power consumption, a selectable power saving mode and 0.1W of power consumption during standby, the PD-501HR can truly be called green technology.A Full-Metal Construction and A4-sized Small Footprint for Any Desktop Set-upNot only the front panel, but both the side and top panels are made of aluminum and attached to a robust steel chassis. These heavy parts eliminate vibrations and allow all internal circuits to always perform under stable conditions. An A4-sized body allows users to place the unit in small spaces. The PD-501HR defines a standard that fits all modern interiors with great space-saving design and a timeless presence.Well-Designed User InterfaceSpun, metal-finished transport buttons with short stroke and an easy-to-recognize toggle switch gives the user assured operation. Even the remote control is designed with an aluminum facia on top for a luxurious finish.Center-mount mechanism design with a slot-in driveBlackFin processor for signal processingOrganic EL display with dimmerRemote control1 Optical digital output1 Coaxial digital output1 Analog unbalanced RCA outputThank you for looking, and good luck if you\'re offerding
