VRDS-701 on tinkimätön cd-soitin. TEAC:n 70-vuotisjuhlan kunniaksi julkaistu VRDS-701 pitää sisällään uuden version legendaarisesta VRDS-mekanismista. VRDS on tunnetuin huippumekanismi cd-levyjen luentaan.
Tasokas DAC cd-levyjen muunnokseen. Voidaan käyttää DA-muuntimena myös ulkopuolisille lähteille – optinen ja koaksiaalinen sisääntulo. Laadukas analoginen äänenvoimakkuussäätö päätevahvistimeen tai aktiivikaiuttimiin kytkemistä varten.
Laadukas kuulokevahvistin, liitäntä kuulokkeille etupaneelissa tasonsäädön kera.
Erilliset laatuvirtalähteet cd-mekanismille ja digitaalisille kontrollipiireille. Erinomainen värinänvaimennus mekanismin alla ja soittimen tassuissa. Liitäntä erilliselle 10MHz:n kellolle – TEAC CG-10M.
Kauko-ohjain. Musta ja hopea

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.
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.
The 10MHz clock input allows synchronization with an external clock. In addition to improving audio quality during playback with the VRDS-701T, this also enables synchronization of the entire system with a clock generator.
Power transformers, which tend to generate vibration, are mounted on a floating structure, separating and isolating them from the bottom panel. The side fins for heat dissipation have been tailored so that each one has a different length in order to eliminate sympathetic vibrations.
The circuit board attachment screws have been kept to a minimum. Furthermore, steel pinpoint feet that use an original TEAC design with a new structure to provide a suitable amount of play in the connection between them and the bottom panel, are employed to thoroughly control vibrations that could affect audio quality.
