TEAC NT-505 - How good is it?


On paper the TEAC NT-505 looks very promising. But first hands experience beats everything.
So I want to ask if any of you has had the opportunity to listen to it?

Right now I am auditioning the CAMBRIDGE AUDIO AZUR 851N NETWORK PLAYER it's good but the scene it set is kind of flat. tonal its very good

My Teac NT-505 now sounds fine, after more break-in, and runs without problems. I wonder, has anyone compared it to the newest version, NT-505 X? I am testing with three Cerapucs that I had laying around, to simulate the new 3 point floating feet arrangement under the X.

I picked up the NT-505-X, matched with the AP-505, the 3 point floating feet are fine. It's pretty detailed. I wasn't sure about the AP-505, it's a class D amplifier, powering some compact Ophidian Minimo 2's, I had a Bryston BDA-3, so the ESS Sabre chip is somewhat familiar. I wanted a streaming DAC,  so far so good.
