The PD-301-X is a CD player of the Reference 301 series from the multinational company Teac. The device includes a CD player (supported formats CD-DA, MP3, WMA, MPEG 1/2 Audio Layer-3, WMA 9 Standard), a player with a USB-A drive (supported formats WAV, AAC, MPEG4 AAC-LC, MPEG4 AAC-LC, MP3, MPEG1/2 Audio Layer-3, WMA, WMA ver.9 Standard, DRM), FM tuner (20 presets), and is a universal digital media gateway for an existing desktop audio system.
CD-transport TEAC PD-505T of the Reference 500 series, released for the 70th anniversary of the company. Based on the original CD drive used in the CD-5020A player, which has been installed in professional products for many years, a new design optimized for the PD-505T has been developed. Using a semi-floating mount and a new drive circuit, it was possible to achieve more accurate reading of CDs and maintain a high level of purity of audio signals.
The VRDS-701T CD transport uses a newly developed VRDS mechanism. VRDS is a proprietary CD drive mechanism that reduces unwanted vibrations by pressing the CD against an aluminum support disc of the same diameter to maximize the moment of inertia.
