TEAC NT-505 black

Like its predecessor (the NT-503), it uses a dual monaural circuit design to process audio signals with even greater purity, with the latest VERITA AK4497 DAC chip used on each of the two channels. This improves the S/N (signal-to-noise) ratio by processing each channel individually in monaural mode, as well as offering native DSD512 (22.5 MHz) and PCM 768 kHz/32-bit playback capabilities.

The analog section, which is one of the keys to sound quality, includes four TEAC-HCLD buffer amp circuits allowing different drive modes, a fully balanced drive for balanced output and a parallel drive mode for unbalanced output, for better acoustic expression.

On the network audio side, the NT-505 supports high-quality music subscription services including TIDAL and Qobuz, and is Roon compatible. There is also a built-in MQA decoder, and you will enjoy unlimited musical content on the Internet thanks to its high-quality digital and analog processing technologies.
