Are the amps cooling fans audible at all? 
Teac NT-505 on Closeout by Walmart
Teac has its own interface but Lumin interface also works and is better. I use Lumin app without issue - just works. Yes, Tidal and Qobuz natively supported. MQA also, fully. 
Luxman L-590AXII vs Pass Labs INT-60
yy how do you see the strengths and weaknesses of the coda and krell and which is better? 
Luxman L-590AXII vs Pass Labs INT-60
Fwiw, whitecamaross in his long thread and YT channel compared L590AXii to pass labs int250 (a higher integrated in PL lineup (12k vs 9k for int60) and declared the Luxman better. Speakers were Wilson Sasha DAW. He didn’t compare them directly hea... 
Super integrated vs equivalent +$$ for new main system
OP, please post your listening impressions after you've had a chance to demo the amps on your shortlist.  Those same amps are on shortlist of many looking for a good integrated, so all comparative data is helpful. 
590axii in the house
That's cool.  Interested to hear what speakers you end up with. 
590axii in the house
Back to the point of this thread (Luxman, not Coda), OP, continue to post your impressions of the amp. Did you compare the 590 to any other amps before you purchased?  What is the 590 replacing?

Speakers behind wall of TVs?? What the ...?
Haha, yeah headphones good point. Except I think his pad is quite the bro hangout on Fall Sunday afternoons and need the sound throughout the room so all the fellas can enjoy. I really wish he didn’t live outta state cause I’d be there watching ga... 
Speakers behind wall of TVs?? What the ...?
He sent a pic and I guess it is actually 4x2. This precedes me but I’ve read that there was some trend in the 60s or 70s of suspending speakers from the ceiling with nets or otherwise.  That might actually work for him because the TV wall for now ... 
Speakers behind wall of TVs?? What the ...?
I guess sometimes 10 channels of visual stimulation not enough- need that 11th for audio, ha. Normally he has all the audio switched so he can jump between the announcers on each screen but for whatever reason I guess sometimes just wants music as...

big_greg,How closely does the NT-505 get to the La Voce S3 in performance?  Is it a big or small gap? 
question for Luxman L-590AX owners
Yeah, no kidding. Seems like a solvable problem to say the least. C’mon Luxman, figure it out!That’s why I really wish I knew how prevalent it was. 5% of units? 20%? 50%?Helpful if others who have the units and have never had any buzz/hum issue po...
