The PD-507T is a CD transport that uses highly acclaimed TEAC‘s in-house manufactured CD transport mechanism. By specializing in pristine digital output without DAC, it enables high-quality CD playback through various audio systems equipped with digital inputs, including Reference 500 Series USB DAC models.

The basic CD transport mechanism is the TEAC CD-5020A, which has a long-standing track record of success in broadcast applications. By combining this rugged and highly reliable mechanism with a semi-floating mounting structure and a specially designed drive circuit, the PD-507T achieves even higher sound quality.

The new PD-507T has a new feature that allows you to turn off unused digital outputs. Separate power supplies have been implemented for each clock and digital output. Additionally, the electrical circuitry and mechanical construction have been fine-tuned to deliver an even higher level of sound quality than previous models. The PD-507T also offers connectivity with the CG-10M-X master clock generator to enhance sound quality with an external 10MHz clock. The UD-507 features a new amber (orange) full-dot OLED display and control terminals, which improving system usability when used alongside other Reference 507 Series components.
