Mechanics with a dedicated CD drive based on the renowned CD-5020A, Accurate CD playback with a high level of purity, CD mechanism mounted on a semi-floating state, New drive control circuit, Discrete power circuits, Internal clock based on low-noise crystal oscillator, Support for 10 MHz clock input, All-metal cabinet, 3-point Stressless Foot design for greater vibration resistance.

The TEAC PD-505T is a high quality CD transport that will surely be appreciated by all silver disc enthusiasts who want to continue using this format while obtaining the maximum possible reproduction fidelity from it.

This mechanics is based on the CD-5020A CD drive, it is a dedicated and optimized CD drive, which guarantees accurate CD playback and a high level of purity. This CD mechanism is mounted in a semi-floating state, to reduce vibrations and negative effects on the signal, furthermore, the drive control circuit has been designed to minimize jitter, i.e. the temporal variation of the digital signal, obtaining as The result is a clean, dynamic and detailed sound reproduction, which respects the original signal.

The TEAC PD-505T is also equipped with an internal clock based on a low-noise crystal oscillator, which synchronizes the digital signal and improves its stability, being able to select between two frequencies, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz, depending on depending on the CD format. However, for all those who are looking for the most extreme performance, it is also possible to connect a higher quality external clock, allowing you to synchronize the CD transport with the DAC and obtain even higher sound quality.

As regards the connections, there are three possibilities for connecting the external DAC, an optical output, a coaxial one and the AES/EBU, the latter which transmits the digital signal via a balanced cable, thus eliminating background noise to offer a professional-level reproductive quality.

All this is finally enclosed in a metal chassis with an elegant and robust design, with a black brushed aluminum front panel on which a beautiful white OLED display stands out which shows basic information, such as the track number, playing time and the signal format, while from the supplied remote control it will be possible to control all the functions of the CD transport.
