For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock?
I just received the OCK-2 and the build quality is high.  Ill be using it with a Mutec MC3 +USB and Teac 701t.   Waiting for cables , but using a generic bnc to the mutec for a few days.   Build quality is high,  I have been skeptical of most Chin... 
Battle of the Older DAC
I would try to listen to a few DACs if possible.   Not sure I would buy a digital component that is 10 plus years old.     What's your budget?  
settings on my Hegel cdp
The DAC +/-  button is for Hegel's stand alone DAC  .   The digital out should always be active.   Is the BNC cable an RCA on one end ?   What DAC are you using? If you suspect the cable , check out a company called Pasternack.com.   The can ma,e... 
Challenged with Going from Integrated system to separates
You will run a stereo mini 3.5 mm from the Marantz 12v trigger to the Mac's Bypass input jack.  When you turn on the Marantz it will automatically put the Mac in "PASTHROUGH" mode .

Teac UD-503 Volume problem
One other thing... are you using Roon?  
Teac UD-503 Volume problem
Some of the hardware/ instruments i install have weird logic issues , resetting doesn't always work but sometimes leaving them unplugged for a while exorcises the gremlins.   Unplug overnight if you havent already.   Good luck.

Did you try resetting to factory defaults?   
How to set up volume control on a DAC without a preamp
I would buy a great preamp first , it’s crucial to the overall tone/ sound of your system.  It does the switching and drives your amp.  I think a lot of times the Amp gets a higher priority than the preamp and to me that’s backwards.     Then get... 
CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports
Agree.  My Aurender N200 sounds great but not as good as CDs when comparing the two with 44.1k material.

McIntosh MA8950 is a great amp if you don't need a FM Tuner
