But I guess that would involve one on one auditions instead of wild presumptuous conclusions.
Please go back and read about my statement on trying to audition this summer. And other words I used were "seems", "hoping", etc. So not jumping to conclusion like :
system and I'm sure the UD-701 will be very good but Aurender are in a different league.
If you are considering a separate DAC you can't do better than the Musetec 005, read the thread on here.
Also good to know that you enjoyed looking at my system and carefully noted my choice of music. Thanks for the kind words. D comes before K. So that screen shot in my system page shows only partial list of the music. I listen to all sorts of music - I do not differentiate - "music expresses the joy of the soul". That was what I had on the wall of my previous listening system. Would love to see your system, if you got some time to post.
And if you find more reviews/user posts on the Teac, please do post it here.
