TEAC AX-505 Integrated Amplifier, Black Overview
The TEAC AX-505 Integrated Amplifier is a stereo system that delivers 115W + 115W of output power but occupies just an A4-size footprint. In the power amplifier section we've employed a cool-running and energy-efficient option, a TEAC- tuned Ncore module by Hypex from the Netherlands. Its clear sound with low distortion and high Signal-to-Noise ratio produces Hi-Res audio content with true dynamism and musical verve. In addition, the AX-505 also provides high-quality headphone listening, via an integrated headphone amplifier that supports ground separation, and connection.
Admittedly more eye-candy than a functional necessity, a pair of eye-catching level meters on the front panel track musical volume levels as they ebb and flow. The user experience is further enhanced by the presence of a well-damped volume control finished with a machined aluminium knob for precise volume adjustment. A Passive-cooling design, for completely silent operation, allows the listener to focus on their music without the distraction of irritating fan noise. Combine this state-of-the-art stereo integrated amplifier with TEAC's latest standalone DAC unit, the UD-505, or the NT-505 USB DAC/Network Player. You can revel in all the benefits of high-spec, Hi-Res audio, such as DSD512 and PCM 768kHz content.
