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

The clock looks interesting.   I would get a lifetime account with Room before the clock. 

I found a test on web comparing wav mp3 and 320 files.  I could tell 4 of 6 tracks which is good. 

@musicmann1 , did you ever upgrade from the Teac?  If so, to what and how did it compare to the nt-505?
@goodfellas272 and anyone else here,

have you found any professional reviews for TEAC nt-505 written in the English language?? If yes, can you share the links with me? I am astounded to say that I have found none, only in German, Swedish, Dutch.

I have purchased the device yesterday, I can post my listening impressions in the following days.
Congrats! Post up your impressions after you get it broken in.

There are lots of filter and upsampling options.

FWIW, I stream Tidal exclusively and personally prefer the upsample to DSD512 setting, with the "wide" filter setting. I use XLR cables.

Interested to hear what settings other NT-505 users prefer ....
I have experimented with the upsampling options and prefer leaving things in their native format.
