| NAD C658 DAC vs TEAC NT 505 Got the TEAC NT-505 and I agree with ACE17, it is a fabulous upgrade from my Marantz HD-DAC1.Native 11.2MHz DSD, FLAC from PC, and Tidal via network, even the humble TuneIn stations get a new life. It is way too up-specced but this will make it mo... | |
| Popular DAC that is known for its warm-ish sound? TEAC NT-505 DSD-22.6MHz/PCM-768kHz/32-bit dual-AK4977-mono is a steal right now.Listening to nativedsd.com sampler 11.2M DSD on the HR Player right now.Not to deviate but it also does a great job at Tidal MQA with the Lumin Android app which co... | |

| Questions about Node 2i I am surprised that you are able to run the Node 2i on the 5G. Tech support states only 2.4Ghz will bedetected. djones51614 posts12-10-2018 1:27amIf you get frequent drop outs using wireless I would use a wire. I run the node 2i on the 5ghz band a... | |
| NAD C658 DAC vs TEAC NT 505 Looking at the NT-505 to replace my Bluesound Node Marantz HD-DAC1 combo.Seems very capable, the Android and Apple based interface looks good, I suspect on par with BluOS, and it does DSD over USB. | |
| HEY! I'm gonna' be a billionaire Rent-a-Center and Rent-2-Own here in Appalachia would be very interested. They also rent truck tires, I want to cry:( | |
| Moving to Tidal Make sure you take full advantage of the dual MQA unfolding, so you can reap up to 350kHz/24bit/1500kbps streams.I converted to Tidal HiFi two weeks ago, what a difference:1. PC with Bluesound Node 2i MQA analog to HD-DAC1.3. Android phone UAPP an... | |
| power cord I see you have a whole house sine wave voltage regulator. Or do you run off Tesla Powerwall with solar panels and wind turbines?If not, then the 18AWG hospital cord will do just fine.Do we realize that there are hundreds of feet of basic 12AWG wi... | |
| My experience after lost of 20k$ 1. Basic PC and NAS.2. Data only USB cable.3. Marantz HD-DAC1 $400 when noone knew them yet, with Bluesound Node 2i in, $499.3. Audioquest King Cobra $120.4. Parasound Zamp v.3 second hand $180.5. DYI cables, silver, gold spades.6 ProAc Tablette 5... | |
| Tidal adds hi-res audio streams with 'Tidal Masters' 44.1kHz out Android bottleneck Tidal jailbreak:1. UAPP app.2. xDSD 3. AKG K 702Now secondary MQA unfolding in the xDSD reasults in some tracks doing 350kHz, 24bit, 1500kbs. Sounds like SACD to my ears, unbelievable! | |
| Is there a web site for streaming DSD recordings to include DSD, Double DSD & Quad DSD? No luck here. Tried my wireless 5G and then wired computers, both 200Mbps, one with a HD-DAC1 and the other with xDSD ie native DSD decoders. Tweaked and tweaked, the HD-DAC1 showed DSD but every stream ended 33%-67% into buffering wtih the statem... | |
| Recommended 5.1 processor + amp under 10k Onkyo PR-SC5509 without a doubt, the modular chassis beats the Integra counterpart, also for modern features beats anything else. I use it with a Classe CP-700 on the fronts, the 2-channel balanced Marantz UD9004 feeding straight to the CP700, and... | |
| Newest iPhone Motorola Android man to the bone. Out in the country the range of Motos is unbeatable, when storm knocked out half the towers and some landlines too with flood, iPhone owners were staring at each other on the top floor, while Moto owners had 3 bar... | |
| Pre-amps with seperate power supplies ..... The external PSU on the CP-700 is two PSUs, one for each channel, with a copper shielding plate in the middle, and the DC current should be pretty darn flat, and free of EMI and RFI parasites, although I do not have an oscilloscope to test. Look a... | |
| Need multi-channel that's great on 2 channel Go "hybrid", i have the best of A/V now with the PR-SC5509's great HQV Vida VP (uprezzing those DVDs) and a CP-700 in SSP bypass mode, the stereo balanced A1UDCI (stellar DSD decoder but an inferior BD player, PS3 takes care of that and 3D)directl... |
