Help me identify this CD Player

[Andypairo]

I have seen this cd player on a auction, I remember seeing it on some hi-fi review magazine some years ago, the brand is TEAC but I can't recall which model...

Can someone help me?
How much worthwile could this player be?

Cheers

Teac CD 5, looks good but internally not that special. Better look for a VRDS 10

Please realise that Teac cdplayers have good to very good mechanics but the DAC's are not the best there are nor are the output stages. Used as a transport with a separate DAC is when they excel.

Yes I knew about that, a friend has a VRDS-7 and my Arcam Alpha one sounds better to me. I intend to use it as a transport (BTW do you know the CD-P4000, is it worthwhile to use it that way ?), since I can get them quite cheap and then build myself a non-os DAC (external or internal.. still don't know).

Cheers
