Laboratory Test Report

The output voltage of the TAGA Harmony TCD-50 was entirely standard, with Newport Test Labs measuring it as being a fraction over two volts from the unbalanced outputs and a fraction over four volts from the balanced outputs when playing a 1kHz test signal recorded at 0dB. (You can see the exact value in the Laboratory Test Result table below.)

The balance between the left and right channels was excellent, with Newport Test Labs reporting it as 0.011dB. The separation between the two channels was also excellent, with the TAGA Harmony TCD-50 returning results of 139dB at 16Hz, 136dB at 1kHz, and 113dB at 20kHz. The result at 20kHz is exceptionally good — many CD players struggle to get out of double figures at this frequency.
