Upsampling DACs

Ok, thanks guys, much appreciated. How much are these units?

Hi Chayro, I actually am gonna upgrade to more expensive and better sounding units than the Bryston stuff. I've been saving up for the last 2-3 years to do so. Yes, the Onkyo is fine, but I would like to upgrade the digital side of my system so it sounds more what I hear from analog, if that makes sense. Not that I'll say it will sound exactly alike. I know better than that! Anyway, I've heard what upsampling can do, and I'm a fan of it more or less...

I asked this in the other thread, and I didn't get answer, so here goes: What do you guys think of the TEAC UD-501 DSD DAC? Sound, reliability (it is made in China,) and build quality.

Hi Melbguy1, yeah I would have guessed that the Vitus is better than the little Teac.

However, the general consensus is the Teac is amazing for the money ($850 USD) You can get it direct from Teac via their online store, if you wish. The store has a 30 day money back guarantee for whatever reason, I believe.

Ok, no problem, I'll check the Vitus out sooner than later.

Thanks, I appreciate that. :D

Ok, thanks. I appreciate your comments here. :D

Yes, that is true. Well, digital is secondary to me, and LPs are king of my listening room. So, I'd rather not spend too much money on it. However, I'm looking for better sound than my stand alone cd player can provide. Which is why I inquired about the TEAC unit. Because to me, at $850, the price is right.

Ok, thanks for the recommendations. Much appreciated.

I want an upsampling DAC because from what I've heard it sounds better...

Sorry, wrong sentence structure. When I wrote "from what I've heard" I should have said "in auditioning" right after that. I would never take someone else's word as the absolute truth.

Anyway, thanks for the explanation, I appreciate it. Like you said, get the home audition or a money back guarantee. For the Teac, both the Teac online store and Amazon have 30 day money back gurantee, for whatever reason...

Wisnon, yes I mean selectable upsampling...

You're welcome, Bombaywalla. And thanks for the recommendation, Melbguy1. Basically my budget is up to $5000. However, I'd rather not spend too much on digital when I can do so with analog. That's why I asked about the Teac at $849 USD. I'm looking for some low cost but high quality alternatives to the big boys.

Ok, thanks guys. Much appreciated...
