Best TEAC products in the Stereo amplifiers category
On this page you'll find a ranking of the best TEAC products in this category. To give you a quick overview, we've already ranked the most important information about the products for you.
1. TEAC UD-701N
This advanced all-in-one device captivates with a newly developed digital audio converter. Audiophiles will love it as the centerpiece of their high-end system.
2. TEAC AP-505-S Stereo Amplifier
The AP-505 is a versatile stereo power amplifier tuned by TEAC, featuring Hypex Ncore technology in an elegant compact housing. The robust steel chassis is covered with lightweight aluminum panels. A pair of large level meters creates an interesting visual effect when the amplifier is in operation, while TEAC's patented "Pin-Point" feet, located at three strategic positions on the bottom, help produce a more detailed and stable sound image.
3. TEAC NT-505-X
The NT-505-X is a flagship dual monaural USB DAC with versatile network playback capabilities. It combines network technologies with TEAC's decades of experience in audio design in an attractive A4-sized package. The dual-mono structure processes stereo signals with higher purity, and the D/A converter section utilises an ES9038Q2M (from ESS Technology) for both the left and right channels.
4. TEAC 500 Series Set 1-S
The NT-505-X is a flagship among DACs, featuring versatile network playback capabilities. The dual-mono structure in the AX-505 processes stereo signals with high purity. The Ncore modules from the Netherlands ensure a clear and distortion-free sound.
5. TEAC PE-505
From the head amplifier to the equalizer amplifier and the buffer amplifier, the PE-505 employs a fully symmetrical circuit design at all stages, which amplifies, equalizes, and cleans even extremely weak audio signals. Even asymmetrical signals at the conventional RCA input are converted into differential processing mode directly after the input terminals.
The equalization circuit at the differential output absorbs errors at the symmetrical output and delivers a more accurate audio signal. The equalizer reproduces the signals cleanly and naturally. A specially developed NF-type equalizer amplifier achieves a RIAA deviation of less than ±0.05 dB (20 Hz to 20 kHz).
The PE-505 reaches 106 dB at the RCA input (MM) and 86 dB at the XLR input (MC), while the residual noise voltage achieves demanding levels of 10 µV at MM and 85 µV at MC (XLR input). In addition to the modern RIAA curve, individual curves for monaural records from Decca and Columbia are also supported.
The PE-505 features a switchable load capacitance for MM cartridges and a switchable load resistance for MC cartridges. Furthermore, the load resistance measurement allows the user to select an appropriate load resistance by pressing the MEASURE button on the front panel, which displays the total load resistance value, including cable resistance, on the meter. The subsonic function shows subsonic signals below 6 Hz on the meter, while the subsonic filter (17 Hz, -24 dB/octave) cuts out unnecessary low frequencies from the audible range.
6. TEAC AX-505-B
Its clear sound with low distortion and high signal-to-noise ratio reproduces Hi-Res audio content with true dynamics and musical verve. In addition, the AX-505 also offers high-quality headphones via a built-in headphone amplifier that supports a ground-separated connection.
The two eye-catching level meters on the front of the unit are more an adornment to the eye than a functional necessity, but they do indicate the volume of the music as it rises or falls. A well-damped volume control with a machined aluminum knob for precise volume control makes it even more pleasant to use. Passive cooling ensures absolutely silent operation, so listeners can concentrate on their music without being distracted by annoying fan noise.
Combine this state-of-the-art stereo integrated amplifier with TEAC's standalone DAC unit, the UD-505, or the NT-505 USB DAC/network player, and you can enjoy all the benefits of high-spec Hi-Res audio, such as DSD512 and PCM 768kHz content.
The AX-505 is based on a powerful, energy-efficient Hypex Ncore power amplifier module that delivers 115W+ 115W of output power from a small unit. This is not a standard Ncore module, it has been carefully tuned by TEAC to deliver maximum musical expression from the full range of musical repertoire.
7. TEAC AP-701-S Stereo Amplifier
Complete dual-mono design including power supply. With two toroidal power supply transformers and two Ncore modules, the extravagant circuit features a complete dual-mono structure from input to output. A dual-mono structure, where each channel is completely mono, prevents interference between the left and right signals and achieves excellent channel separation. This enables rich audio playback that offers a larger soundstage and a more three-dimensional sound.

With two toroidal power supply transformers and two Ncore modules, the extravagant circuit features a complete dual-mono structure from input to output. A dual-mono structure, where each channel is completely mono, prevents interference between the left and right signals and achieves excellent channel separation. This allows for rich audio playback that offers a larger soundstage and a more three-dimensional sound.
9. TEAC 500 Series Set 4-S
The PD-505T CD player is a long-awaited addition to the Reference 500 series. The semi-floating mount and the new drive control circuit enhance sound quality, while discrete circuits and a crystal-based internal clock with low phase noise improve performance. The NT-505-X is a flagship among DACs, featuring versatile network playback capabilities and serving as the ideal signal processor for the CD player. The dual-mono structure of the AX-505 processes stereo signals with high purity. The Ncore modules from the Netherlands ensure clear and distortion-free sound.
10. TEAC Stereo-Amplifier AI-303DA-X/B
The TEAC AI-303 audio amplifier, with a compact width of only 215 mm, features a powerful and compact amplifier module, a Bluetooth receiver that supports DAC, Qualcomm aptX HD, and a USB audio input for reading high-resolution sound sources such as DSD256 and PCM 384/32 from a PC, portable device, iPhone, smartphone, or Android tablet, thanks to the USB-C connector. The HDMI ARC/eARC interface allows you to enjoy high-quality sound from your TV with your favorite inputs, while a pair of LINE inputs adapts to your existing hi-fi system. The 4-pole output box with a separate circuit from the ground provides superior sound quality.
