| How much should I spend on a new DAC Thank you all for your responses. Tbh I never included the streamer as an upgrade path option. My understanding was that the digital stream is only zeroes and ones and it should not affect the sound quality in any way. But based on so many user ex... | |
| How much should I spend on a new DAC @soix I understand the computer can be a weak link. But, even though if I add a good streamer I will still have to use the PC as a roon core. I don't think using a LAN connection instead of USB will make such a big difference | |
| How much should I spend on a new DAC I don't expect to hear day and night difference when I'll upgrade the DAC, that is why I'm not sure how much should I spend. I feel I should not exceed 3k but I'm not sure weather 1k will make any difference. | |
| How much should I spend on a new DAC @vonhelmholtz I'm also interested in all in one solution as well. The TEAC UD-701N seems like a good choice to me. | |
| How much should I spend on a new DAC @jasonbourne52 Thank you for your replay. I couldn't agree with you. The pass labs make the biggest improvement in my listening experience. Previously owned class D Primare I35 prisma. The pass wiped the floor with the Primare in terms of Dynami... | |
| How much should I spend on a new DAC @designsfx Asus Mini PC Installed Roon + Tidal connected to my DAC via USB Type B. Also I have Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC turntable | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? The build quality is unquestionable, very high level. The fact that they learn and borrow from esoteric makes UD-701N even more attractive. But still, I don't really understand why Stereophile, TAS and other magazines never reviewed a product by T... | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? mantis007 Got that, thank you | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? Hi @mantis007 Could you please describe what was better on the N-05XD, was it day and night difference? Don't get me wrong, I totally agree that the N-05XD should be on another level but I'm also curious weather the 701 is miles away or share the... | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? vinylcat Thank you for your response. I've done some research and I think the N-05XD and UD-701N share absolutely the same DAC module according to the PCB layout and the internals. Here is picture from TEAC and from ESOTERIC | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? Hi Folks. I'm interested in buying the UD-701N. I'm curious weather It's made in China or Japan. Thanks | |

| Amplifier for Wilson Audio Alexia V I would look at pass labs, soulution, vitus or constellation | |
| Looking for upgrade of Accuphase E-480 I had a chance to listen to 803D3 on McIntosh rig at my dealers place and it sounded faboulose, therefore I would suggest pairing them with macs. Also while I didn't heard them with Pass Labs I'm somehow sure that will be beautiful combination, I ... | |
| Accuphase dac 60 Way better bass, midrange and treble. That's can't be true, its only illusion cause PS DAC plays way more louder at the same volume level. As I said earlier, if you match the volume level I'm sure Accu. DAC 60 will wipe the floor with PS audio... |
