| Questions about recording vimyl to computer? Thanks bondmanp. I also skip the computer, so far (using a Teac NT-505), though who knows, in the future. The Sugarcube looks nice but does not seem to be able to handle dsd -? I know that pcm top level is nice, but still not the best format. I am... | |
| Questions about recording vimyl to computer? Almarg made a good point in the beginning of this thread. Make sure that the ADC is good enough, before starting to invest much time on recording from analog. This is like the source of the Nile, so to speak, when recording from analog sources lik... | |
| vinyl versus digital redux Mijostyn >I never evaluate music with the headphones- - Me too. I like the staging and feeling of music better through my speakers. Using phones only for reference e g when recording from vinyl. Recently I’ve considered, maybe I should give he... | |
| vinyl versus digital redux I should add, re: "blew away". This was the result using the Lyra Atlas cart with the Aesthetix Io phono preamp - costing much more than the Teac, so in those terms the playing field is not even in my system. | |
| vinyl versus digital redux I am not sure, who is this listener what hears exactly what is "objectively better" - ? And I am sceptical to such claims regarding digital. It is not as if I have not tried. I played analog for many years, until I switched to digital, naively thi... | |
| TEAC NT-505 FUNCTIONAL REVIEW I can confirm that the Teac NT-505 can play files from a hard disk (not just a flash drive) through the front USB port. I have a Seagate 2tb that connects OK, although it takes a while to read the files, before it appears as a library in the Lumin... | |
| TEAC NT-505 impossible connecting to WiFi router o such LAN: help me please? Not sure what went wrong at first, but I can now switch music library easily in Lumin also. | |
| TEAC NT-505 impossible connecting to WiFi router o such LAN: help me please? I solved it. I've mainly used the Lumin app, but now I downloaded the Teac HR Streamer app on my ipad. This shows the file on the flash drive and plays it ok. Now, however, it doesn't show my home network drives. I must go into setup, and choose "... | |
| TEAC NT-505 impossible connecting to WiFi router o such LAN: help me please? I received my NT-505 some weeks ago. No problem connecting to my ethernet home network, it plays my dsd vinyl rips fine, and streaming with Tidal is ok also. Headphone amp seems quite good. I have a problem. How do I play a music file from a usb f... | |
| Questions about recording vimyl to computer? Yes the digitizing is time consuming, but to my ears, well worth it. I now have ca 400 album vinyl rips on double DSD through the Tascam DA-3000. I can play them back very conveniently through my new Teac NT-505 streamer/dac, over my home (etherne... | |
| Questions about recording vimyl to computer? I bought a Tascam DA-3000 some years ago and have not looked back. Best digital sound I've heard (with DSD128). | |
| Atma-sphere Updates +1 firberger. Atma-sphere has been extraordinarily helpful. I enjoy my MA1 amps. Upgrades have been reasonable. Ralph’s advice is very unbiased, in my judgement, even if we don’t always agree. | |
| Total cost of ownership - how to reduce it wolf_garcia - this is much like my experience, with a Les Paul GA40 amp and Fender Telecaster. Very robust indeed. Tubes - we agree. Back to topic, for vinyl playing: get a clear strong light above the player, e g a LED light. Since this is anno... | |
| Total cost of ownership - how to reduce it Sleepwalker65 - thanks for a good summary that agrees with my experience. There are no absolute rules, but paying for "flagship" level may help later, yes. Or what you call OI investment. Whatever the level, it can help to be involved with the com... | |
| Total cost of ownership - how to reduce it I hope the lack of recent debate in this thread is due to everyone keeping their systems in shape and their costs acceptable. Just a comment to wolf_garcia: it is tubes with me too. I also am amazed by how some NOS tubes esp driver tubes can be ca... |
