TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ?
I think the Bryston is a preamplifier with a DAC, while the Teac is a DAC that can act as a preamplifier. In my books, 2 different types of products, depending on how you view a component's usage.  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
The only relevance of how China operates should relate to whether they have malpractices, etc. If the manufacturer operates a business without malpractices, then what happens between them and the Chinese government should not be something that the... 
Holo May KTE vs Meitner MA3
Do you own one or the other of these dacs? It seems @abramsmatch might slightly prefer the MA3 across the board. Is that somehow upsetting you? If he ends up preferring the May is that going to be of some relief? Of late this seems to be the t... 
Amir and Blind Testing
To someone with a hammer everything looks like a nail. That is so funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
Show us the inside of the Okto you’re writing about. That’s also just a DAC. Most of the inside space of the much smaller Okto case is, in fact, empty.   AND the HOLO is a better value because it has a greater number of parts.   Looks like som... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@kairosman ​​@melm  Thanks for the more matured responses. @kairosman I had never even once mentioned in this thread about the sound quality of the Musetec. So where did you find my opinion about it, that caused the frustration? I did not say tha... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
And none of you are able to answer - why can one find Musetec so easily while you cannot lay your hands on the Okto? Musetec is a one man show. So ideally it should have been more difficult to find. On the other hand the Okto has a manufacturing f... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@melm , Grow up dude - don't show up your frustrations. People will definitely question before they plunk down a bunch of money. Yes the Musetec is a DAC and made in a place where labor is cheap. Still it costs that much, compared to say a Holo Au... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@kairosman there are certainly differences, but not more than twice. I am sure the Musetec is a fine DAC.  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
Where’s the love for the Okto Dac8, which measures very well indeed, and costs a lot less? I had asked this question earlier. And the Okto is made in EU. And it is not a one man show. It uses the same chip, I believe. Why the Musetec costs so m... 
Axpona: Who's going & when?
popped back in because someone keeps trying to hack my account Wow…. I always suspected that. I see some users who have not posted from 2004 to about 2018 and then suddenly every year the posts keep increasing by hundreds. These guys have old s...

Finally, I´ve got the Proac D48R speakers !!!
Welcome to the group @matias_estudio I will say that though they will sound even better after 300+ hours, why bother? Just enjoy them as you break them in. Isn’t the huge clear soundstage mesmerizing? Listen to Jazz Variants song by O-Zone Percuss... 
The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same?
Do you use machines to decide whether art is visually pleasing or not?  Do you have machines taste your food for you?  Do they tell you what smells good? +1 @big_greg  People should not forget that - machines don't have senses or aren't "alive... 
The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same?
@lalitk , OP is not here for learning. Check his other threads. He is learning from his "cousin brother" who is a self-proclaimed expert audiophile. And he says that fancy audiophile is no good compared to Chinese stuff. There are these few post...
