| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? @ptatztxt No suggestions here, but wondering if you use a local NAS and if that has issues playing as well with the HR Steeam or other controllers? (I ask as I have only used my 701 via NAS and haven't yet run into any issues.) I certianly hop... | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? @celestial__sound Nice to hear you went with the UD-701N. (my dealer has mentioned it's been very popular with his clients, as well.) I started out with MB to gauge its sound relative to my Yggdrasil (MB as well). I have since changed to 1-bi... | |
| Esoteric N-05XD clock recommendation Interested in what you discover... I'm considering the TEAC CG-10M for my TEAC UD-701N, myself. I can home demo from my dealer, so no risk involved. I'd be using the internal TEAC streamer. A gent from another thread indicated the CG-10M was ... | |
| Streaming Dac $5000-8000 Went with the TEAC 701 here after similar academic search, but didn’t have luxury of home auditions of other units as with the TEAC. I was quite impressed with what was accomplished with this device. I will say the Lumin/TEAC/Esoteric app is ce... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil Less is More, is it a quality dac ? TEAC NT-505x is worthy of your consideration in that price range. Preferred it to my Yggdrasil A2 in my home system. | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? @celestial__sound There's your answer. I was just going to add there is a toggle on the HR Streamer app for Tidal & Qobuz (I don't use them as I only stream via local NAS). This unit has been impressing me more and more over the past coupl... | |
| recommendation of amps Luminous Audio Technology Archimedes Monoblocks ($8,500/pr) Replaced my Parasound A21+ with these…the A21+ is very nice and is a good value, but the Archimedes are just next level ( or so) and drive my Paradigm Persona 3F like they were made for ... | |
| If you had $12k / £10k to upgrade your analogue front-end... VPI Prime Sig Gold Note PH-10 Gold Note PSU-10 Lyra Delos ….puts you at $12,200 msrp (add Luminous Audio Technology Synchestra Reference IC’s at $500-700 and you’ll be rockin’ and jazzin’ nicely.) | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? @bosssound My only direct comparison was at home vs. my Schiit Yggrdrasil A2 with the iFi Zen Stream. I initially used the Zen Stream for both DACs (SPDIF for the Yggdrasil; USB for the TEAC UD-701N) to keep fewer variables. The TEAC was an im... | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? @rblnr Glad you thought so highly of the TEAC. I may try the TEAC Clock down the line, myself...my dealer will let me try that at home, as well. "The UD 701N reflects what a larger company with the engineering prowess and buying power can do f... | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? I completed a long weekend home demo with the UD-701N last week... so impressed with what I heard (as was my wife) that I went ahead and asked my dealer to order one for me on Tuesday and picked it up yesterday (very fast turnaround). It's now r... | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? Concur on the lack of TEAC advertising and reviews... I was not familiar with nor would have considered TEAC without a recommendation from my local dealer to just give the NT505X a listen, as he and some audio club members did a listening session... | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? Had a nice comp session with my Yggdrasil (SPDIF) and dealer demo UD-701N (USB), both running thru an iFI Zen Stream (w/iPower 12V). The Yggydrasil is a very nice DAC…the TEAC is really more impressive…more so than I thought it might be. The cla... | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? celestial, i did my own comparison, too (UD-701N & N-05XD), and from what I can tell, spec-wise, is that the Esoteric has more headphone power. Call me cynical, but on the surface at least, it looks like one might be paying ~$6K for a nicer ... | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? celestial_sound TEAC UD-701N and NT-505X are made in China. Esoteric N-05XD made in Japan. I demo'ed the NT-0505X last week...very high value piece. My dealer has the UD-701N coming in this week that I can home demo, as well. (Currently using... |
