If it were me, I would get the Teac CD player with the DAC. Teac/Esoteric’s new DAC technology is exceptional and the VRDS 701 can serve as an excellent digital frontend. Under the hood, the Teac is almost identical to the Esoteric N-05XD Streamer/DAC which will be the same in the VRDS. The build quality is extremely high for the price point.
comparison between Teac 701t transport vs esoteric p-70 model or alike?
Hi,
thinking of replacing my loved esoteric p-70 vu and renewing my line.
the P70vu is one of the best Redbook transport ever made, yet I don’t need most of its features and the kss-151a pick-up laser is an issue... it’s starting to show its age and no skilled technician here to service such a unique cd transport player, nor any technical backup ( zero in customer relations for esoteric Teac ) from the manufacturing company ,I am afraid.
relying on Teac’s know-how I thought of their latest affordable transport.
has anyone tried their transport vs older esoteric transport or more expensive current models?
C.E.C is an option also btw. Jay’s audio is a mystery for me- just
recently while looking I heard about that brand.
