Teac recently announced the release of the model UD 507, a completely redesigned 500 Series DAC/Preamp/Headphone Amplifier with high end 700 Series design concept in a compact A4 size package.
The UD-507 features the proprietary TRDD 5 discrete DAC, which was designed following in the footsteps of the discrete DAC design applied to the acclaimed 701 series. The headphone amplifier features the HCLD2 current line driver, which is characterized by its high current supply capability. Compared to the previous model, the maximum output power has been greatly improved by strengthening the power supply, resulting in a generous driving power of 1,200mW + 1,200mW (balanced output at 100 ohm load). The power amplifier gain can be switched between 3 positions (Low/Mid/High) to fine-tune the output to best match the sensitivity and impedance of the headphones.
The new device incorporates the QVCS high precision analog volume attenuator and features five digital and two analog inputs (unbalanced and balanced). The DAC supports streams up to 22.5MHz DSD and 384kHz/32bit PCM and includes the RDOT-NEO up-conversion algorithm (2xFs/4xFs/8xFs).
The new device will be available for shipment in late June.
