Teac PD-501HR Hi-Res CD/DSD DVD Player

Though this player is capable of far more, I found this to be superb for CDs with the Teac Power Amp shown in photos and selling in a separate listing (please note this listing is for the CD player only).  This is a remarkably resolving player for Redbook CDs without being the least bit clinical--a surprising performer in such a small size.  I purchased this player new and it is in excellent operational and cosmetic condition.  I will point out that this player emits a slight whine that is inaudible during music.  (To be sure this was normal for this player, I exchanged it and found both players were identical.)  I simply placed it under the amp.  Comes from a non-smoking home.  Includes remote, manual, and power cord.  Ships to lower 48 in original factory packaging.

Main Features:

5.6MHz DSD-file-recorded Disc Playback without the Need for a PC Connection.

The PD-501HR plays back DSD files recorded to DVD discs, eliminating the need for any PC. Conventional DVD writing software is capable of burning DSD-file-recorded discs, by writing dsf files to recordable DVD discs (DVD-R/-RW/+R/+RW). (SACD disc is not supported on the PD-501HR.) DSD Native Playback by Pure Mode Conventional DSD processors convert PCM files prior to converting to an analog signal. The PD-501HR employs a “Pure Mode”, processing DSD into an analog signal directly. This lets you enjoy pure DSD sound that normal PCM-conversion can’t. 24bit/192kHz PCM File Playback The PD-501HR also supports PCM file (wav format) and up to 24bit/192kHz of high-resolution audio without the need for a PC connection.

Supports DSD file playback on recordable DVD disc, 5.6MHz DSD-file native playback without PC connection.  Supports 24bit/192kHz PCM file playback.  Unique vibration control mechanism, VACS (Vibration Acoustic Control Structure).  Separated power supply units for analog and digital sections, and high-quality parts such as the Cirrus Logic CS4398. Energy efficient “green technology”: Max 11W of power consumption and an automatic power saving mode.  Full-metal jacket. Gorgeous aluminum panels for front, top and sides. Small footprint fits your desktop.
