There’s loads of excitement and enthusiasm here, with solid precision through music’s midrange and treble, and highest notes that stand out without harshness. Play the driving rock of Foo Fighters’ Rope and it delivers serious punch. Our main concern is the sound quality, though – and the TEAC has a lot going for it. On the plus side, while the TEAC costs £50 more than its key rivals, it has built-in AirPlay and wi-fi. Of course, we’re not really here to judge aesthetics, but the display does limit the amount of info the machine can divulge. TEAC is going for it more than most, with a new ‘Reference’ line-up that includes a dedicated dock, a streaming DAC and this CR-H700DAB micro system.ĭisappointingly, the TEAC doesn’t make an especially exciting first impression: there’s something a little last-gen about the brushed aluminium finish, while the two-line fluorescent display looks low-tech next to the big high-res screens of the Marantz M-CR603 and Denon CEOL. The first wave of AirPlay-enabled products has been dominated by Marantz, Denon and B&W, but a huge number of other manufacturers are keen to get in on the act.
