TEAC Introduces UD-507 DAC, Preamp, and Headphone Amplifier

TEAC Corporation announced the release of a completely redesigned 500 Series DAC/Preamp/Headphone Amplifier, embracing the high-end 700 Series design concept in a compact A4 size package. The new TEAC UD-507 has everything to please anyone looking for a high-quality, affordable DAC, with all the right features for high-resolution audio, wired and wireless. The headphone amplifier is a fully balanced dual mono circuit, and the preamplifier features multiple analog/digital inputs.

Beyerdynamic unveiled a new generation of its flagship Xelento remote and Xelento wireless in-ear headphones. Handcrafted at Beyerdynamic’s Heilbronn, Germany headquarters, the new designs are outmatched only by the attention to sound detail, spatiality, and depth, according to the company. Custom sound personalization, sweat and water resistance, and a range of output connections make Xelento a perfect partner for travel, leisure, and everything in between.

Increasing the options for those wanting to upgrade their music source options for high-quality headphones, Naim Audio has launched Uniti Atom Headphone Edition – a headphone-optimized version of its original Uniti Atom music streaming system. Unlike traditional headphone amplifiers and DACs, which require a separate computer or streaming device, the new Uniti Atom Headphone Edition is a fully formed music-streaming system: just add headphones.

iFi announced a new model to its already extensive range of portable DAC/headphone amps with an all-new design – the Hip-DAC. Looking conveniently like a pocket flask, the new portable device features an extruded aluminum enclosure with a distinct petrol blue finish and a touch of copper, offering an extensive set of specifications to support high resolution audio (HRA) sources, while keeping an affordable price tag at just $149 USD or €159 Euros.
