New DAC: TEAC UD-501 anyone listen yet?


TEAC's new UD-501 is the star of their 501 series. The TEAC UD-501 supports DSD 2.8/5.6MHZ file native playback by ASIO 2.1 or DoP methods or up to 32bit/384kHz PCM. TEAC also packed this incredible unit with two 32-bit BurrBrown DACs per channel and JRC MUSES op amps, dual monaural design, fully balanced XLR as well as unbalanced RCA outputs.

Is BB still a leader in DAC opamps. I know they have had a great reputation in the past?

Have one here (I love the looks) and will set it up this morning. I will leave impressions after a little listen time.

Analogshop,
What transport are you using to get the DSD data to the DAC? This is an interesting area for me and I have started to look at universal transports and DSD DACs.
Thanks

Looking at Analogshop's facebook page, it appears he is playing the files via a Mac laptop.

I belive that Teac has a DSD transport to go along with the new Dac (at least they are showing one on the Teac webpage).
More to discover
