As the first model in the Reference 7 Series, we invested the NR-7CD Network CD player/ Integrated amplifier with all the high-resolution playback expertise that TEAC has accumulated over the years through the development of high-end and pro audio equipment. From high-resolution master audio sources, including DSD, to the classic albums sleeping in the corner of your CD library and the vast collections of music that can be accessed online, this unit can handle them all. Despite being multifunctional in nature, this is a no-compromise device. Every stage, from the D/A converter to the power amp, uses a ‘dual mono’ configuration, fully-balanced from beginning to end. Highly-experienced craftsmen undertake the entire process from soldering to assembly. With a "Made in Japan" label comes immense attention to detail, as well as a level of sound quality that’s appropriate for the flagship of our Reference Series. The TEAC sound, which has been recognized in professional audio environments over the decades, and a design that embraces this accumulated history, have been successfully fused into this Network CD player/ Integrated amplifier for a new era.
