Japanese hi-fi brand TEAC is expanding its Reference 500 series with the addition of a CD transport, the TEAC PD-507T. We are big fans of TEAC's five-star VRDS-701 CD player (£2499 / $3799), which uses the more premium VRDS transport mechanism to superb results. TEAC says both the electrical circuit and the mechanical construction have been “fine-tuned” in this new CD transport to deliver a better sound quality than previous models. In the PD-507T, TEAC has used custom parts and a “specially designed drive circuit” that aim to deliver a more “refined” sound than before. The TEAC PD-507T CD transport is priced at £1299 / $1700 / €1299 and will be available to buy in Q4 of 2025.
