Supplementary New Product Information (SNPI)

■ Overview

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 decades through the development of high-end and pro audio
equipment.

From high-resolution master audio sources, including DSD 5.6MHz and PCM 384kHz/32-bit,
to the classic albums sleeping in the corner of your CD library, and from the vast collections
of music provided by premium “loss-less quality” on-line music subscription services such
as TIDAL and qobuz on Internet, to high-quality wireless music streaming via Bluetooth
this unit can handle them all in style.
Despite being multifunctional in nature, this is a no-compromise device. Every stage, from
the D/A converters to the power amplifier section, it employs a dual monaural circuit
design, and every audio signal is processed on fully-balanced circuit from the beginning to
the end. The RDOT-NEO is remarkable, that up-converts incoming digital audio signal
including conventional CD to DSD12.2MHz or PCM 384kHz which is Hi-Res audio quality,
while free control app TEAC HR Streamer provides look-and-feel operation on you r
smartphone/tablet.
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 all-in-one Network CD player/Integrated amplifier for a new era.

■ Versatilities – Supporting a wide range of sources

● Streaming from NAS and USB flash drives

Hi-Res audio playback is supported from NAS and high-capacity USB storage devices. (*1)
As well as 2.8/5.6MHz DSD and 384kHz/32-bit PCM(*2), numerous other formats (DSF,
DSDIFF, FLAC, Apple Lossless, WAV, AIFF, MP3, AAC) are supported. In addition, gapless
playback is supported for every lossless format, allowing uninterrupted playback of live
performances that span multiple tracks.

*1 Hi-Res audio playback from NAS requires a compatible audio NAS.
*2 PCM 384kHz or 352.8kHz will be down-converted to half, while 32-bit will be reduced to 24-bit.

● TEAC HR Streamer control app offers excellent usability

The TEAC HR Streamer app is not only compatible with the OpenHome
standard, it is also an App for network playback control that has been
purpose-designed for ease of use. (*)
Because a cache system in the app captures tag information and images
for the tracks on the NAS and USB storage in advance, you can zoom in
and out and scroll through album art instantaneously. You can also freely
re-arrange your library by recording year, composer, category or other
criteria. You can choose tracks on the iPad and create and play playlists as
you wish. The operation buttons and various screens, including the playlist

and the library, are all designed to be visually clear so that even new users can operate
them intuitively.

* iOS version is available. Android version will be released in late-2017. (as of November 2017)
Wi-Fi is necessary to use the app, and the NR-7CD must be connected to the same network via LAN cable.

● Full support for TIDAL and Qobuz

There’s comprehensive support for the TIDAL and Qobuz
subscription music streaming services. These enable you to enjoy
huge collections of music of high-resolution (or CD-equivalent
lossless quality) over a network.

Owners can use the TEAC HR Streamer to select and enjoy tracks seamlessly from their
own NAS and USB storage as well as from Tidal/Qobuz’s vast collections in the cloud.
(TIDAL and Qobuz were not available in Japan as of November 2016.)

TIDAL is available in most European countries. (as of November 2017)
Qobuz is available in Germany, France, United Kingdom and the Netherlands (as of November 2017)

aptX™, AAC and SBC codecs. Using a compatible

receiver also supports

device, you can easily enjoy wireless high-quality audio listening.
LDAC™ can transfer data at rates about three times greater than existing technologies.*
You can thereby enjoy high-quality sound wirelessly from devices that support LDAC™,
including high-resolution and CD-quality audio sources.

*Bluetooth A2DP SBC (when 328kbps, 44.1kHz) (See http://www.sony.net/Products/LDAC/)

● Optical/coaxial digital inputs enable DSD transmission

Two optical digital inputs and one coaxial digital input allow you to enjoy high-quality audio
from TVs, universal players, portable audio players and many other digital sources.
Transmission of high-resolution signals is supported, and PCM signals up to 192kHz/24-bit
and 2.8MHz DSD signals can be input.*
*The DoP (DSD Audio over PCM Frames) format is used for transmission.

● TEAC-made CD drive mechanism, provides high performance and reliability

The audio CD drive mechanism used, one that we have designed and manufactured
ourselves, has a proven track record, having been used in many professional CD players.
You can easily continue to enjoy your CD collection together with that format’s traditional
ease of use.
In addition, upconversion with RDOT-NEO interpolates analogous data for frequencies above
20 kHz, which is not recorded on CDs, allowing you to enjoy smooth and rich sound that is
closer to the original source.
