KEY FEATURES
Easy-to-use and high quality-sound with
compatible TEAC models
Everyone can enjoy high-res-audio files with ease when paired with
TEAC’s highly regarded USB DAC Units, such as the UD-501. Unlike
other professional audio playback applications, the HR Audio Player
is simple to use, and doesn’t require additional plug-ins for use.
ASIO 2.1 and DoP modes for DSD 2.8/5.6 MHz playback
A combination of the UD-501 and a Windows PC supports DSD
Native playback, processing DSD data into analog audio signal
directly, without prior PCM conversion. Both ASIO 2.1 and DoP (DSD
Audio over PCM Frames) modes, as well as both 5.6 MHz and 2.8 MHz
DSD files are also supported with this configuration.
Various high-res-audio file formats other than DSD are
supported
Not only 2.8 MHz/5.6 MHz DSD file, both PCM and FLAC files are supported as well, up to 384 kHz.
Simplified screen design reduces CPU
load and enhances sound quality
The TEAC HR Audio Player achieves the finest sound quality through
high-res audio and operates with ease. A modest but sufficient
screen design allows the CPU to concentrate on the extremely large
digital audio data processing, and the RAM Buffer Playback function
storing digital audio data on the PC memory. The TEAC HR Audio
Player was designed specifically as an ideal digital audio delivery
system.
