Since the introduction of the original TEAC Reference 500 series in the mid-1990s, the development of this mini component system has continued to evolve, expanding the musical experience into the digital era.

Keeping the original concept of a mini hi-fi system with ultra high quality and style, every single part of the all-new Reference 500 series has been reviewed and refined to achieve the very best sound quality in its class. Digital connection from an iPod via the USB port is an example, as the music files on your iPod are transmitted digitally and directly into the digital processing section. From there on, a Digital- to-Analog converter on the CR-H500NT draws smooth and flawless audio signals.

The USB port allows you to record and playback music to/from USB memory, as the state-of-the-art Internet-Radio tuner brings countless numbers of music stations from throughout the world. Enjoy driving on the 21st century digital highway with the TEAC Reference 500!

Solid Build Quality - Pleasure to Behold

Digital Processing Throughout

As TEAC‘s audio signal processing achieved its next generation standard, the enclosure of the unit is designed to help it perform to its ultimate – whatever the occasion. A robust chassis and thick aluminium panels on the front and sides help eliminate vibration, while a centre-mounted CD mechanism keeps accurate balance when reading high-speed rotation CDs. This is a TEAC tradition

–to design audio products in a realistic manner that is timeless, regardless of format, digital or analog.

In addition, the outstanding finish in high quality materials, with an aesthetic design to match, makes the product a pleasure to behold.

A USB interface on the CR-H500NT is not just for recording and playing back MP3 files to/from USB memory. It also works as digital interface between iPod and the CR-H500NT. To secure the audio signal transmission,

digital music files on the iPod are digitally transferred directly into the digital section of the CR-H500NT, and the Burr-Brown Digital-to-Analog converter conveys a precise

analog audio signal to pass onto the amplifier section.

This process is free from jitter noise that is often present in motor rotation, such as in CD Players. Once the music is stored onto a flash memory type iPod* in a lossless** format, this becomes the ideal process for digital music playback that audiophiles have demanded since the iPod first appeared.
