A new CD Transport PD-505T will be released in the Reference 500 series

TEAC Corporation (TOKYO:6803) launches a new CD Transport, PD-505T in the Reference 500 series, and will be unveiled at the HIGH END MUNICH 2023 that will take place on May 18-21 in Munich, Germany.

Based on our original CD drive design used in the CD-5020A, which boasts a record for many years of use by broadcasters, we developed a new design optimized for the PD-505T. Utilizing semi-floating mounting and a new drive circuit design, we have realized CD reading that is accurate and maintains a high level of purity.With support for 10MHz clock input, not only can this transport be used together with a TEAC Reference 500 Series DAC, it can also be used flexibly to enable high-quality audio CD playback with a variety of digital playback systems.
