TEAC CD Transport VRDS-701T

he VRDS-701T CD transport utilizes our newly-developed VRDS mechanism.
The VRDS is a TEAC-original CD drive mechanism that reduces rotation vibration and other unwanted vibration
by clamping the CD to an aluminum turntable with the same diameter in order to maximize inertial mass.

Used in combination with a UD-701N, which is part of the same series, playback is possible
using the discrete DAC in the UD-701N as well as with MQA full decoding.
Of course, you can also use it together with a DAC of your choosing, and build a system as you like.
The inclusion of a 10MHz clock input enables flexible integration
with systems that are synchronized using an external clock.

For the bridge that supports the turntable, we carefully selected lightweight materials that are very rigid and do not transmit vibration. By naturally settling vibrations quickly, we have 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.

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 vibrations from the main chassis, sympathetic vibrations within the chassis are prevented. At the same time, the CD mechanism is also isolated from external vibrations. Reading precision is also increased by isolating the CD mechanism from external vibrations.
