Teac NT-505 on Closeout by Walmart


There was some discussion tonight on Audiogon about this streamer/DAC.

‘’Walmart is currently closing it out (in black) for $1,199.

As always, YMMV. 😎

I've had one for nearly a year and use the balanced output to my MA8900. I use it with my streaming services (Tidal/Qobuz) as well as my server. It functions very well and the DAC is better than the DA1 module in the McIntosh. I am using the Lumin software with it and it works great. I bought mine from Onkyo, it was a re-furb but you would never know it, it was perfect out of the box. 

This is a good price on a decent streamer/DAC combo. I plan on upgrading someday to a Lumin T2, but for the time being this does the job.
This unit doesn't appear to have digital audio out to connect your own DAC. Is that correct?
I cannot imagine Walmart has ever sold that, but they do allow other companies to run ads on their site.  Look at the bottom of the ad, an it will surely say  that another company is selling it.
I just checked,  The ad clearly states, "Sold and shipped by Onkyo USA". I really like my Onkyo CD player, and based on its performance, would guess that their integrated amp is pretty good.  Did they make the TEAC?

I posted this earlier in the thread:

"The units being sold on Walmart are brand new ones (not open box) direct from Onkyo, which owns TEAC. There are currently 7 left."
