Teac Esoteric UX-1 VRDS universal player

[michaelab]

Very few details available (esp. if you don't read Japanese ) but Teac are finally releasing a VRDS based universal player called the UX-1 (under their "Esoteric" brand).

Their much praised Esoteric DV-50 universal player doesn't have a VRDS mechanism.

Found a pic of it here:

Cost in Japan is 1.25 million Yen so it's not cheap

They are also doing a VRDS CD / SACD player for a touch less. Saw both at the Tokyo Hifi show the other week. I think it was an X-50 (which is a pretty old model) that was actually playing...
The new improved look really is improved. These things look truly gorgeous - as they should for the price.
So what's with the Japanese audio mags anyway, Michael? Taking it a bit far no....

Lets hope it's not as laid back as the rest so far
