The AX-505 is a stereo integrated amplifier that delivers 115W+115W of output power but occupies just an A4-size footprint and can be paired with Teac's latest standalone DAC unit, the UD-505, or the NT-505 USB DAC/Network player.
According to the published details, the amplifier features a new cool-running and highly energy-efficient power stage, a Teac-tuned Ncore module by Hypex from the Netherlands. Its clear sound with low distortion and high signal-to-noise ratio reproduces Hi-Res audio content with true dynamism and musical verve, the company says.
In addition, the AX-505 also provides high quality headphone listening, via an integrated headphone amplifier, one that supports a “ground separate” connection. A pair of eye-catching level meters on the front panel track musical volume levels as they ebb and flow. The user experience is further enhanced by the presence of a well-damped volume control, finished with a machined aluminum knob for precise volume adjustment. A passive-cooling design, for completely silent operation, allows the listener to focus on their music without the distraction of irritating fan noise.
AX-505's circuit includes MUSES8920 op-amps and discrete resistor ladder-type volume control and it is based on a power supply featuring a large capacity toroidal power transformer with Schottky diodes. Connectivity includes both balanced (1) and unbalanced (3) analog inputs and a set of gold-plated, screw-type loudspeaker terminals compatible with AWG8 cable and banana plugs.
