TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ?
@bosssound , Excellent news. Looks like a lot of reading for me in the next few days on this thread. Will be eager to know how the comparison went and what you end up with. Do keep us posted. Good luck and have fun! Cheers👍🏼  
TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ?
But I guess that would involve one on one auditions instead of wild presumptuous conclusions. Please go back and read about my statement on trying to audition this summer. And other words I used were "seems", "hoping", etc. So not jumping to co... 
TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ?
@bosssound , Looks like there are more reviews coming up on the Teac UD-701N. The first one is the latest from Europe while the second one is from Japan. Both had to be translated. The DAC looks impressive with great build quality. https://hifi... 
TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ?
and I'm sure the UD-701 will be very good but Aurender are in a different league. Here is my rub with the folks promoting the Musetec. They have absolutely no experience with the DAC that is being discussed, and they automatically imply that so... 
Tube Rolling Advice for the Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme?
@jsqt  I recently installed the Psvane ART series tubes and they seem to make music even better than the previous Psvane series. But the point is, this preamp is amazing and tube rolling adds more fun.  
To Roon or not to Roon?
My trial ended today. The experience to control Tidal was neat. But I am glad the non-Roon music session has much less distraction. Tidal daily discovery is super helpful for discovering new music. Honestly, playing Tidal through mConnect HD app s... 
AGD Tempo in the house
Congratulations @twoleftears, on the new amp. Great first impressions. Looking forward to read about your thoughts once the amps have settled. I know you were in two thoughts about GaN vs Purifi. Glad that you made up your mind. What about the vol... 
Rose Hifi Network Streamer RS150
@musicmann1 , Do you also own the Bricasti M3 DAC? If yes, any comparison in the sound between the Rose and Bricasti?  
Audi’s blueMe HD
I agree with @reubent . I also have the previous version, but have not used it for more than 1 1/2 years. When I used it, it never locked upon me. The connectivity was pretty good too. If you can RESET (remove and re-pair) the connections to the d... 
Those who seek to deny access to information
What does rile me up up is deliberate attempts to deny me (and others) access to the information that I value. There are some here who repeatedly seek to disrupt, sidetrack, derail, and shut down conversations about topics and products that trigg... 
AKM makes the best DACs
AKM have the new chip numbers now: AK4490R and AK4493S  
Lack of popularity of Chord???
They should have a Hugo TT with either 0 or 1 headphone jack. I don't care about headphone amp in the TT. That raises the price. Would love to own a XLR out Chord DAC, but they are out of budget range. And as someone above mentioned - it's about s... 
Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui
Now watch them jump on you by declaring that your motivations are driven by racism (anti-china) or your lack of understanding of how expensive DACs are merely snake oil (that's another way of saying that you are a gullible simpleton who doesn’t k... 
Spotify HiFi
Based on the recent news from Spotify, it seems like a licensing issue. Based on this alone, my guess is 2 things will be cleared in 1 day: 1. Spotify HiFi 2. Tidal Desktop Connect control through mobile devices Why? Because Spotify already ha... 
Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui
I’m not sure how this thread devolved into a discussion of DACs unrelated to the OP’s question @metaldetektor , Funny that you asked. On the first page I noted this already. You tried to provide genuine feedback, but whenever certain 2 people ...
