| Integrated for Streaming Consider integrated streamer/DAC/pre-amp: TEAC UD-701. For discussion see thread below. | |
| Streamer/DAC - Where is the value? Consider the TEAC UD-701, which is an intregrated streamer and DAC. See thread below for discussion of this model: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/teac-ud-701-vs-nt-505-vs | |
| Rank the top reference DACs you've heard Berkeley Audio Design Ref 3 DAC ought to be in consideration. I own a BAD Ref 2 DAC. Streaming via DH Lab D-750 SP/DIF IC with BNC adapters from Bluesound Vault 2. Even with that low-cost streaming set-up, sound is vivid, natural, and dynamic.Soun... | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? @arize84 Good to know I am not a party of one on Bartok front. @bhvf Curious to hear further thoughts on the UD-701 DAC now that you have had the unit in your system for a while. | |

| Has anyone compared Teac NT-701, and Lumin T2 streamer dacs? Trust you mean TEAC UD-701. Consider posting to thread on it. Link below, https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/teac-ud-701-vs-nt-505-vs | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? Since BR-20 is mash of BDA-3 DAC and BDP-3 streamer that provides very nice set-up for testing whether separate DAC and streamer are superior to integrated unit. Maybe an Audiogon member somewhere has conducted that test and will chime in... | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? Thanks for pointer to this new Bryston unit. A swiss-army-knife of a DAC, like the Teac UD-701N. In roughly similar price point. Curious to read reviews from parties with greater disinterest and from users. | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? Yes. That beautiful album was in heavy rotation in my home at one point. Spiritual. Transcendent. | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss Would appreciate clarification on whether Weiss 501 has a built-in streamer or not. I don't sett that feature mentioned on Weiss webpage or in reviews. OP above notes he just connected Weiss via its Roon-ready input. But server to which it was con... | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? My plan for now is to purchase a UD-701 when I can get a hold of a unit on acceptable terms. Will report back after two-channel listening, which @nomorelandings promises will be revelatory. Given current supply chain problems, who knows when that ... | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? I preferred the UD-701 sound over that produced by the RS-150. Given that sound of RS-150 was very similar to NT-505, advantages of UD-701 over RS-150 were very similar to its advantages over NT-505 (see post on 3-19-22 at 5:38 pm in this thread).... | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? The second listening session at my dealer put the winner from my in-home shoot-out, the TEAC UD-701-N, up against the winner from the first session at my dealer, the HiFi Rose RS150. A Bluesound node functioned as the streamer. Audioquest Earth I... |
