TEAC UD-501 DAC...awesome!

Up for sale is one heck of a DAC...this puppy has garnered many stellar reviews & I can attest to that! Extremely musical & true to the source. There are a lot of ways to set the DAC up & it never ceased to amaze me. I did a few DSD downloads & it was simply amazing. For redbook it also flat out performs, very analog in it's presentation. I hate to see it go but things are a changing...as always in this crazy hobby of ours. Time for a new home...$650 shipped to your door (Conus), I'll also add in a Shunyata 1.5m Venom 3 PC to go with it along w/ the stock cordum65wgv16r1u.jpg
. Personal check or MO. Will ship after funds clear. ijye97qeqa1e.jpg

    Looking at the 2Qute...the HUGO TT also is tempting but a stretch on the wallet. If you have the chance of handling the line buy all means jump on it.

    Where's the moderator for this thread? This complete moron is allowed to muck up a legitimate F/S item with his garbage. This is totally unacceptable in the F/S section.

    DacMagic Plus which is a great DAC. The TEAC is much more analog in it's presentation & there are so many different variations that the end user can tweak to fit their listening tastes. I personally don't like upsampling so I have a few settings to play with. If one likes upsampling there are various settings for that also. It is an awesome sounding DAC that simply gets the music "right" so to speak.

    No worries Ken...I know it's tough to keep up on all the threads. If only people showed a little common sense before posting your job would be a lot easier.

    It's more like trying to convince cats that a particular direction, that isn't one they would normally take, might be a better one in the long run.
