TEAC NT-505 impossible connecting to WiFi router o such LAN: help me please?

Hello mates,
I got my NT-505 3 days ago.
It seems to be working correctly but in my opinion all software in not the same level than the device: too aged & often no relevant documentation or support about.
However my big trouble is the NETWORK interface:  since first time I switched on, the NT-505 remains "for ever"  into NET configuring blinking state until it goes in power stand by.
Summarizing:

1. RJ45 cable is ok - tested in several manners
2. the wifi router (1Gb fiber connection) is ok
3. the wifi router ether ports (4) are ok - I checked a bridged LAN configuration too

Testing the NT-505 Ether port It results:

1. the physical level of protocol seems working correctly just on-way: the interface recognizes correctly the bandwidth (Fast ot Giga in my case) end the packet coming from the router are buffered. No packet sent  to the router.

2. At protocol level no ARP session are involved hence impossible retrieve MAC address and trying to do something.


VERY STUPID ISSUES:

1. Being NET board logically split from MAIN board It's need a separate firmware(!!!): how can I upload the NET firmware if, as stated into documentation, I must use the mobile app and It's impossible connecting the device to such LAN?

2. NO menu interface to configure manually the net parameters.

May someone help me (tricks..., recovery sw,..., low level maintance menu...,...) 

Thank you a lot.

Hello all,
 I've been reading the ins & outs,ups & downs.Hope my NP505 arrives intact.I bought it on eBay.Not sure if the guy is a authorized dealer so we shall see.
I bought a Azur 851N & the L channel went out after a week.Then came back on.The next day the reght channel went out so it is going back tomorrow.The dealer is sending me a FedEx return,no cost.
Anyway,I am not a computer guy so, I hope you folks are available for a fellow Veteran.

Regards,Tom Kelly Casa Grande Arizona

Teac just released a new flagship streamer dac that uses delta sigma conversion. Not sure if available in US. EP and JP sites disclose. 
Hard to tell but I think quite a bit more expensive than the NT505 was

They have been blowing out the NT-505 on Walmart. I figured there was something new coming out. I'm surprised they're going to Delta Sigma, I really like the sound of the AKM chip in the NT-505.

Looks like it's also a preamp and headphone amp. Still no digital out so that you can use an external DAC.

UPDATE:

Teac has finally come out with a firmware update to the NT-505. I haven’t downloaded it yet.  I need a connector to do it and I can’t find the one I used last time.

Also, the Lumin app and Teac streamer app have an upgrade also.

Just be aware that one you upgrade, it may log you off Tidal.  If all of a sudden you can’t play songs you have saved from Tidal, check to see if you are logged in.

Good luck people.
