T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501
Huff is constantly having a BEST of breed because he HAS TO I agree with you. I also appreciate Huff's efforts to provide viewers with a POV on the latest and greatest DACs; but he is also not running a charity. Youtube pays you by the views an... 
Active ATC vs Spendor / Pass Labs
This is a tough one and Good Luck to you in advance. I have not heard the Spendor 9.2. I have listen to (in detail) to a setup comprising of Spendor 7 with some expensive MBL gear. I really liked this demo and this speaker was one of my top 3-4 c...

@rubicon15, Good to know that you recommended a DAC since you probably heard good things about it. But there are some red flags, at least for me, and that is what even @jjss49 feels. You say you are an “old tube guy” and “been around the block”. ... 
TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ?
@chestercopperpot , Thanks for sharing your experience. And good to know that you like the Teac, especially with DSD. Can you describe how the DSD on the Teac was better or different than on the T+A DAC 200? What attributes about DSD you liked on...

But on your site it says "DSD is converter to PCM before playback".

@orchardaudio , I had a question- you are using the latest AKM chips. So why no DSD?  
Luxman D-07x
No worries @tomcarr . I also take an approach similar to yours.  
TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ?
I have the Okto DAC 8, T+A DAC200, Chord Hugo TT2, Teac UD-701 among the top.

@stuartk , no worries at all. Like @jjss49 mentioned, every reviewer has an opinion. For me, Steve us a influencer. So, while he does not get paid by the DAC manufacturer, the more hits/views he gets on Youtube, you know the rest. Recommendations ...

Hey @tomcarr, how did you land in the decision with this disc player? Did you get a chance to listen to it somewhere? Would be interested in your comparison against the Topping and Oppo.
