Who can resist level meters? Granted, these are probably more ‘eye-candy’ than a functional necessity, but they will entertain as they dance to the music.

TEAC AX-505

Your AX-505 experience is further enhanced by the presence of a well-damped volume control finished with a machined aluminium knob for precise volume adjustment. The passive-cooling design allows for completely silent operation enabling you to focus on the music (and those dancing meter needles). 

TEAC AX-505

The TEAC AX-505's power amplifier stage is an Ncore module by Hypex tuned by TEAC. The module produces a transparent sound with low distortion, and high Signal-to-Noise ratio reproduces Hi-Res audio content with real dynamism and musical verve.

Additionally, the AX-505 also provides high-quality headphone listening, via an integrated headphone amplifier, one that supports ‘ground separate’ connection.

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, and you can revel in all the benefits of high-spec, Hi-Res audio, such as DSD512 and PCM 768kHz content.

The TEAC AX-505 integrated amplifier is available now in black or silver for £1399.99.
