| vinyl versus digital redux I also love Its a Beautiful Day. I have a promo copy of the LP that plays very well indeed. Must play it - thanks for reminding me! I remember White Bird, is just mesmerizing. Seventies - thank you - I think the issue here is that magnetic tapes d... | |
| TEAC NT-505 FUNCTIONAL REVIEW Testing the headphone amp:I need a long extension cable to enjoy music from the NT-505 from my listening chair, or the sofa. So I bought a standard four-pole (TRRS) 5 meter extension cable to test, with Fiio EX1 earplugs and AKG 450 over-ear headp... | |
| Questions about recording vimyl to computer? First - just to clarify, regarding the NT-505: I have no complaints, in most respects. No problems connecting to the network, playing DSD and other hi-res from my server, streaming, the Lumin app (getting to know it), etc. What I said concerns the... | |
| vinyl versus digital redux I recorded 1000 or so albums on the Revox A77 1970-90, fully analog, to tape. I have great respect for tape detoriation, over time. With time, tapes lose magnetic bounding, or whatever is the term for this, and you can hear this especially in the ... | |
| Questions about recording vimyl to computer? I am still investigating the Teac NT-505. Sometimes it seems good - other times not so good. Maybe still burning in. I will soon getter a better headphone, Audioquest Nightowl, to compare. | |
| 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... |
