TEAC has rightly earned its reputation for high level engineering. I suspect that this latest generation CD transport is an excellent component given the established VRDS (Sophisticated tray ) pedigree. I do admit that I really like the implementation of high quality top loading CD transports. I love the simplicity of this compared to more complex tray mechanism alternatives. I recognize that different roads lead to Rome.

TEAC - New Transport
I have just read a user review on a forum from an individual who has been dedicated to a digital source for quite some time.
They have to my knowledge owned quite substantial cost devices and also lesser costing devices whilst finding the source that most suited their preferences.
This individual has now shared their early thoughts on their usage of the New TEAC Transport as seen in the Link.
The device in use in this system has made a impression that has so far convinced the user, it has a attraction in use that is improved over the previous transport, and has also produced the idea, the DAC in use, might become a device that needs to be considered changing to get the very best from the TEAC.
