Been running a Teac NT-505 streamer/DAC for few years now, highly underrated piece of gear.
There were some positive end user reviews out there and I decided to take a chance at a very good price to see if it was for me.
Had just gone from a Bluesound Node into a Chord Qutest and then Schitt Yggdrasil and the Teac was much easier to live with. Highly enjoyable sound from the word go. Hard to not get the itch with digital gear I've found but it has great tone and is super smooth which is a combination that is very easy to live with.
I had thought that proprietary DAC design was the only way to go but man those top AKM chips do a fine job.
It'll be interesting to see what replaces it, anything that's on the radar at this point is way too expensive in comparison.
