TEAC PD-301-X CD Player Slot-in Type Black Released in 2022 (Silver)

Excelente dispositivo funciona correctamente con cualquier cd que le ponga y el radio FM con la antena que venía en el paquete funciona muy bien

After having a large collection of vinyl and CDs in storage for some time, I’m finally putting together my “dream HiFi system” for our combination home office and listening room. I originally planned to use my 33-year old Yamaha CD player as a transport as it was in great shape and has digital output. Unfortunately, I found it would not consistently interface with modern Digital Analog Converters (DACs) with the exception of the one in my Yamaha AV receiver, so the search was on for a decent CD transport. Research quickly led me to this TEAC PD-301-X unit. It’s compact, but not too small, beefy and bulletproof, while elegantly and simply styled. Truly a quality piece of kit. When the unit arrived, everything was in great shape, but I was disappointed to find the RC-1323 remote missing, despite batteries being in the box and the remote being mentioned in the directions. BTW, the included directions were in Japanese, but an online English PDF is available on the TEAC website. I contacted the seller through Amazon, and they were great. Within 24 hours, they advised that a new remote was being shipped, and it arrived via FedEx a few days later. Outstanding support - BIG THANKS! As mentioned, I’m using this as a CD transport (vs player) with the digital signal sent via a Blue Jean co-ax to a FIIO K11 R2R ladder DAC, then on into my Willsenton R8 Tube Amplifier. This conditions the CD digital signal using a ladder array of ~200 resistors to take on some of the qualities of a true analog source like vinyl, before feeding the Tube Amp which also helps mellow any possible digital “glare” (if such a thing truly exists… 😀). I’ll mention that so far I’ve had zero issues with the TEAC playing a variety of different CDs. Operation is simple, crisp, and fairly quick. I decided to perform some informal audio testing. I happen to have both vinyl and CD versions of one of my all-time favorite albums, with songs I’m quite familiar with. I set the output levels the same and played both formats staggered by a few seconds through the R8. This allowed me to use the R8 remote to A/B test the two back and forth, while remaining seated in the sweet spot. I’m listening through mass-loaded Totem Arro loudspeakers, reputed to be among the best for smaller rooms. My vinyl turntable is a U-Turn Theory with an Ortofan 2M Blue cartridge feeding a Pro-Ject Tube Box S2 analog phono stage. I’ll admit I’m not likely the world’s most discerning audiophile, but to my ear, I’d be hard pressed to detect any obvious differences between the vinyl and the CD, at least for this particular album. They both sounded warm, deep, and smooth, way more detailed and musical than I’ve ever experienced before. I will note, I could pick out the vinyl mainly due to an occasional click, as my old vinyl still needs proper cleaning. I already knew I had a great sounding vinyl setup, and I’m thrilled now that this TEAC unit coupled with a ladder DAC and R8 Tube Amp will really bring my CD collection to life. As I can also run USB-C digital into the DAC, streaming is covered as well, so I feel my system is fairly well future proofed.

デジタル出力できるFMチューナーとして購入しました。 電源を別途購入したリニア電源（12V 1.25A）に変更すると、かなり滑らかな音質に変わります。（付属アダプタだと固い音質に感じる） その状態でアナログ出力で聴くと、とても3万円台の製品とは思えないです。 あと感心したのがCD再生です。 こちらもかなりの高音質に感じます。 今までTEACはノーマークだったのですが、侮れないと思います。

The seller shipped the item very quickly. When I received it, the outer box had only minor dents and no obvious damage. I'm not an audiophile, just someone who enjoys listening to music. I chose this player mainly because it can play CDs and has an FM tuner. However, I hesitated a bit because I saw mixed review. After listening for few days, here are my initial thoughts: 1.CDs: The sound is gentle and clear, very comfortable to listen to. When tested with a digital output (SPDIF) to a soundbar, the effect was great. I've listened to about ten CDs so far, and there have been no skipping issues. 2.FM: It is very sensitive in reception, and the sound is also very clear; much better than expected. 3.Music Files: They are okay, nothing particularly amazing, but not bad either. At this price point, to have this kind of performance, it's really a great deal. ---- 販売業者は商品を非常に迅速に発送してくれました。受け取った時、外側の箱にはわずかな凹みしかなく、明らかな損傷はありませんでした。 私はオーディオファイルではなく、ただ音楽を楽しむ人です。このプレーヤーを選んだ主な理由は、CDを再生でき、FMラジオも付いているからです。しかし、評価が賛否両論だったため、少し迷いました。 数日間聴いた後、私の初期の考えは次のとおりです： 1.CD：音が穏やかでクリアで、聴いていて非常に快適です。サウンドバーにデジタル出力（SPDIF）でテストしたとき、効果は素晴らしかったです。これまでに約10枚のCDを聴いていますが、スキップの問題はありませんでした。 2.FM：受信が非常に敏感で、音も非常にクリアです。予想以上に優れています。 3.音楽ファイル：普通ですが、特に驚くようなことはありませんが、悪いとも思いません。 この価格でこのような性能を持っているのは、本当に素晴らしい取引だと思います。

コンパクトな大きさで、cd、fmラジオ、usbメモリの三種のソースの再生が可能。音質も悪くなく、音場は少し小ぶりになるものの、音像の定位はほぼ正しく聴かせる優れもの。fmラジオのデジタル出力が可能なのがおもしろい。
