TEAC AX-505: Compact Stereo Integrated Amplifier with High-Res Audio Capability

The TEAC AX-505 is a powerful stereo-integrated amplifier that delivers 130W + 130W of output power, all within an A4-sized footprint. Designed for efficiency, it uses a TEAC-tuned Hypex Ncore module from the Netherlands, known for its cool-running, energy-efficient performance. This module ensures clear sound with low distortion and a high signal-to-noise ratio, delivering Hi-Res audio content with impressive dynamism and musicality.

The AX-505 also caters to headphone enthusiasts with its built-in headphone amplifier, supporting ‘ground separate’ connections for enhanced audio quality.

While a pair of striking level meters adds visual appeal, the amplifier’s functionality is further elevated by a well-damped volume control with a machined aluminum knob, enabling precise adjustments. Its passive-cooling design ensures completely silent operation, allowing listeners to immerse themselves in music without fan noise.

When paired with TEAC’s standalone DAC units like the UD-505 or the NT-505 USB DAC/Network Player, the AX-505 unlocks the full potential of high-spec Hi-Res audio, supporting formats like DSD512 and PCM 768kHz. This compact yet state-of-the-art amplifier delivers an exceptional listening experience, perfect for modern audiophiles.
