TEAC NT-505 impossible connecting to WiFi router o such LAN: help me please?
Sorry that you guys/gals are having trouble. Before this issue I’d never heard of any NT-505 trouble, but I guess it’s probably not that widely owned. Hope Teac gets it fixed or replaces the defective units. Since I’ve not had any trouble in a yea... 
Audioquest buys GoldenEar
What are some examples in audio of where one company was acquired by another and it worked out better going forward for the company acquired?This is a serious question, and I’m only asking because I’m not aware, not because I think it can’t or has... 
All-in-one: $1k Marantz or $2k Hegel?
Well I pulled the trigger and ordered a marantz pm7000n from my local dealer. Opportunity arose with a “virus” sale right before state locked down for several weeks so I won’t get it until the shutdown order lifted but excited for it to replace my... 
No-one talks about Rowlands anymore
Anyone compared Rowland 535 to PS Audio BHK 250?How about Rowland 535 and Capri vs PSA BHK 250 and BHK pre? 
Parasound A21+ or PS Audio S700 monos?
OP,I hope you get the Parasound too and after all are broken in you could post the shootout results Vs the PSA. That would rock!  I bet there are many readers who have considered these two brands and a good head to head would be most welcome if yo... 
What’s a 10k to 15k speaker from smaller company that performs well?
Spendor D9.2 
New System for a greenhorn audiophile
What I’d do with a $2k budget that needs to cover both music and H/T is get a H/T receiver that has a streamer built in (since that is the source that is becoming the standard for listening - Tidal, Spotify, Qubuz, Amazon, whatever - though of cou...

Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker?
To my ears, my 2.5-way Spendor D7’s sound swell. They have fairly sophisticated rear ports, but I still need to bring them out into the room (which is a large room) or I get a little too much bass. That said, I supplement with REL S/5 to get the b...

So I doubt this is the issue, but FWIW when I used a 1m Cat6 Ethernet cable with my NT-505 I would get Tidal music dropouts every hour or so. Then I upgraded to Cat7 Ethernet cable (1m) and I never get dropouts now. I use a simple AmazonBasics Cat... 
~$6K mini-monitor recommendations?
Spendor D1 (discontinued) if you can find them. Dealer I bought my Spendor D1’s from is licensed Spendor and Kef dealer and told me no comparison between D1’s and LS50’s. Of course the Spendors are double the msrp, so there’s that, but still well ...

What cat level Ethernet cable are you using? (Eg, cat 7?). Assuming you’ve already tried a couple different Ethernet cables right? 
TEAC NT-505 impossible connecting to WiFi router o such LAN: help me please?
Correct, what audiojedi said. It says it is doing an initial update when you initially get going but that is just the phone app.To do the firmware upgrade to the NT-505 itself you need to use a PC (not mac) and use a physical cable to connect to t... 
TEAC NT-505 impossible connecting to WiFi router o such LAN: help me please?
Make sure to use Lumin software app, not the Teac software app for control. Lumin app is more stable and is compatible with the player.I also haven’t had any trouble with my NT-505. Although I did have trouble initially updating to current firmwar... 
Has anyone else auditioned something that really was terrible?
@bob540:Don’t worry too much about the inexpensive gear thing. Yes, oftentimes (but def not always) more expensive stuff can sound better, but it is never generally linear and I’d almost say it’s sorta inverse exponential, which probably is meanin...
