THE VERDICT
TEAC’s stylish, computer-friendly integrated amp is a great option for both desktop and living-room listening.
Integrated amplifiers designed for use both on the desktop and in the listening room are a niche category that we’ve looked at before, most recently in reviews of Elac’s $699 Element EA101EQ-G and Cary Audio’s AiOS (April 2017 and December 2017 issues, respectively; both reviews available at soundandvision.com). But of all the hi-fi manufacturers working this space, TEAC is the one that embraces it most enthusiastically.
