TEAC CD-P650 Home Audio CD Player with USB and iPod Digital Interface - Black

There have been few reviews of this player online, and it's mystery as to why not. Most reviews want to compare it to the Onkyo C-7030 CD player, which I own, so I will start there. Let me start off by saying that I bought this item through Amazon's "Warehouse Deals", at a great price. The listing stated (as they always do) that the item is "Used-Like New" or "good" or "acceptable". The listing then describes the reason why it is used and the imperfections within. Mine was listed at "less than 5% cosmetic damage on the top of the item, so I gave it a try. The player arrived double-boxed, and all items inside (remote, cords, manuals, etc) seem to be in their original packaging. I could not tell this was used. I inspected the player itself, and found a small (very small) indentation on the top and had to really look to see it. Thus, the "used' term. This item was absolutely pristine, and once placed in the stereo rack, the imperfection disappeared completely. I will now use the Warehouse Deals with confidence in the future. Onto the player. If you are debating whether to buy this unit, or the Onkyo C-7030, the question is whether the price difference is justifiable. In my opinion, yes it is. The Onkyo player has more depth, a wider soundstage, and definitely more bass. In fact, the Onkyo player has to be the best deal ever in stereo equipment for the price it is offered at. I bought the Teac player at a $80.00 price drop for a second room, and it was certainly worth it for that. If it was going to be my main unit, I would spring for the Onkyo each and every time; there is definitely a difference in sound. If you are a casual listener and don't care much about the technical differences in sound, the Teac will serve you well. The main differences between the two players are these: 1) Sound quality - The Onkyo wins hands down. If you want the best sound at the best price, and this is your main unit in your stereo / home theater system, you will want the Onkyo. It has the better overall sound, and the soundstage is unreal. The bass and depth of the sound are also very pronounced, and your CD collection will come alive with this unit. The Teac sounds wonderful, but as many reviewers have already written, the mid-range on this unit is the focal point. The highs are a bit shrill, and the bass takes a bit of a back seat to this. What this does mean is that your vocals will be way up front, and if your music is vocally driven this unit will let you hear just about every word the singer is saying. Also, the Teac sound is very clean and precise. If you have never heard the Onkyo, the Teac will sound fantastic to you. It really is a great unit at a great price. 2) USB access. You can record music from your CDs, onto a flash drive. I'm not sure who would want to do this, but I'm guessing that anyone who doesn't have a CD burner on their computer might burn CDs onto a flash drive and load up an MP3 player from there. 3) NO eject button on the remote to for the CD tray itself. This is completely baffling to me. I didn't take away a star for that, as I could have but the price vs performance keeps it at 5-stars. Why Teac wouldn't put an eject button on the remote is strange. I'm guessing that the USB control button would have been that button, but they wanted to keep the remote small, which it is. It makes zero sense to have a power on/off button, and then make you bend down to open the tray to load the disc. It could be a deal breaker for some. In conclusion, aside from the missing eject button, if you are a casual listener vs an audiophile, you will love this player at this price. It looks good, and it plays superbly. If you are an audiophile, and you want the best bang for your buck, then get the Onkyo C-7030 while they last. It is without a doubt, the best player on the market for that price. I've got a higher end Marantz CD player, and I have much trouble hearing the difference between the Onkyo and it. As a second player, or you just play CDs some time, the Teac is the way to go.

Got this to move my personal music away from my work computer while in my desktop. It looks awkward in my desk but its very useful. I use the optical out to my headphone DAC/AMP. Works perfectly. Both during CD playback and iPod interface. I listen to TIDAL (CD quality) in my iPhone 5S connected to the unit usb port and it transfer the digital audio through the optical audio out or to the front headphone port if connected. The good stuff * Solid CD playback. Period. Solid construction. I see myself using it for years. * iPod/iPhone/iPad direct mode digital audio transport to its own headphone jack, analog out or digital optical out. * Remote control and batteries included * RCA cable included (haven't used it but its a nice to have) * Heavy solid body. No cheap feeling. * The Burr-Brown DAC is very competent. Just not awesome. My Schiit modi 2 uber outperforms it in clarity and extension. * The headphone amp section have decent power. Some caveats: * The headphone amp section get some background hiss and if you move around some weird pulses can be heard like something disconnecting for a fraction of a second. Not a big deal to me because I wouldn't use it everyday. Maybe to leave new hardware burn in. * Repeat 1/ALL function requires the remote. No front panel button for it. * In my case its too big for desktop use. I will try to use it as a screen base. Not returning it for this. I can get around the bullying. * It have developed a hot spot in the top left behind the headphone amp is supposed to be. There is a darker oval shaped figure over the chassis where the hot spot it. Its happening while I'm not even using the analog sections. Just digital out. UPDATE 05/24/2016: Added pictures of how I'm using it in my desktop. It can hold that big screen on top without problems. There you can see I'm using the iphone streaming Tidal HIFI through the optical output to my modi2u and then the amp magni2.

Se trata de un reproductor CD y mp3 de calidad, con una relación precio calidad más que aceptable. Se conecta al amplificador por cable RCA (incluido) y/o cable fibra óptica (no incluido). Yo lo he conectado por ambos sistemas sin diferencia de calidad apreciable. Me ha sorprendido lo bien que suenan los mp3, sobre todo si tienen un buen bitrate y frecuencia de muestreo. En resumen un equipo muy recomendable.

Expédition rapide et dans les délais. L'appareil est arrivé très bien emballé dans un carton supplémentaire à celui d'origine sans un accros. J'utilisais jusqu'à présent des lecteurs multimédias de marque pour écouter la musique et voir des DVD vidéo avec ma chaine Home Cinéma. Résultat les appareils qui font tous, font rien de bien ou plutôt ils suffisent pour restituer une bande son de film. Avec le lecteur Teac j'ai été redécouvert mes cd audios ainsi que ceux que j'avais compilés en MP3. Il a été conçu pour cela. Le processeur assure une richesse et une profondeur sonore avec bien sur aucun souffle même avec un volume élevé. Les filtres sont efficaces. Contrairement à certains commentaires lus, l'appareil est réactif dans l'exécutions des commandes, au démarrage, ouverture du tiroir ou passage en mode USB. Le plus la lecture et l'enregistrement via la prise USB ( vitesse max 2 x) et ce n'est pas un gadget. Bien sur pour en profiter il faut que le reste suive à savoir l'ampli et surtout les enceintes, ceux qui est bon ou était bon reste bon. En conclusion, utilisé depuis plusieurs semaines, je le recommande comme lecteur audio de salon avec le meilleur rapport qualité prix que j'ai trouvé.

Ich habe mir vor ein paar Monaten den Teac A-R650MK2 Stereo-Vollverstärker gekauft und wollte nun meinen in die Jahre gekommenen Onkyo CD Player ersetzten. Da die Auswahl an HiFi Geräten leider nicht mehr so groß ist und ich mit meinem Teac Verstärker sehr zufrieden bin, fiel meine Wahl auf den Teac CD-650. Optisch passt er logischerweise sehr gut zu dem Verstärker. Beide Geräte sind eher schlicht gehalten was mir persönlich sehr gut gefällt. Auch technisch sind der Verstärker und CD Player sehr gut aufeinander abgestimmt. Beide Geräte lassen sich mit der Fernbedienung des Verstärkers bedienen und ich kann die für den CD Player im Regal liegen lassen. Klanglich ist der Teac meinem alten Onkyo ebenbürtig und ich bin mit dem Klangbild den Verstärker und Player erzeugen absolut zufrieden. Zusammen zaubern sie aus meinen MB Boxen ein harmonisches und klares Klangbild. Die Höhen sind klar und deutlich und die Bässe kommen satt und sauber rüber ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Ob dieses sehr gute Zusammenspiel auch einem anderen Verstärker funktioniert kann ich nicht beurteilen. Die Zugriffszeit ist nicht schlechter als bei meinem Onkyo und Laufgeräusche sind so gut wie keine zu hören. Über die Lesbarkeit des Displays kann ich nichts negatives sagen, ich kann es auch sehr gut ablesen. An den USB Anschluss lässt sich sehr bequem ein Stick, Handy oder Tablet anschließen. Der Sound ist auch hier sehr gut und die Bedienung ist sehr einfach. Es besteht auch die Möglichkeit ganze CD's oder einezelne Stücke auf den Stick zu übertragen. Die Bitrate lässt sich von 64k - 192k anwählen und die Aufnahme ist in einfacher oder doppelter Geschwindigkeit möglich. Ich kann den Teac CD-650 bedenkenlos weiterempfehlen. Er bietet ein sehr gutes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis und hat mich technisch wie auch optisch absolut überzeugt.
