TEAC NT-505-X USB Network DAC Pre-amp V2 Silver

[grid] no-image Independent Low-noise Circuit Path The TEAC NT-505-X Preamplifier uses a sophisticated dual monaural circuit design ensuring that functions throughout the conversion process can take place independently of each other in separate yet synchronised channels. From the dual oversized high capacity toroidal transformers through the DAC circuits and all the way to the output terminals single channel processing ensures that unwanted noise is kept to an absolute minimum with a consistent power supply regardless of demand. Boasting an excellent S/N ratio and total harmonic distortion below 0.002%. no-image High-Quality D/A Conversion The dual monaural nature of the circuitry means that two D/A converter chips are built into each left and right channel. Using class leading ESS technology these two ES9038Q2M SABRE32 Reference DACs ensure vastly diminished jitter and accurate USB data conversion up to 768kHz/32bit PCM and 22.5MHz DSD bringing you closer than ever to the original recording. The two on-board clocks allow lightning fast sampling rates for 44.1kHz or 48kHz signals with a BNC terminal to accommodate an external master clock generator for exponentially higher 10MHz sampling. no-image Output Signal Consistency Once the conversion process has taken place the analogue section of the NT-505-X guarantees the consistency of the current by introducing a buffer amp into the circuit path; The TEAC-HCLD 2 (an upgrade of the previous High Current Line Driver) bolsters the current supply. This HCLD also broadens the scope of compatible with high-end headphones with superior channel separation and clear audio. Highley adjustable volume control has also been integrated directly into the signal path in the form of a discrete four channel variable gain amp adjustable in 0.5dB degrees.

MQA decoding allows you to listen to your online playlists even if you have a weak internet connection using advanced compression technology to efficiently retain an audiophile standard of music quality remaining emotive and clear. However it doesn’t end there! The NT-505-X is also compatible with multiroom Hi-res audio apps such as OpenHome and Roon meaning it can be seamlessly integrated into your wireless home audio setup. Perfect for use with internet streaming services such as Spotify TIDAL Qobuz and Tunin (as well as wireless connection with a range of Bluetooth audio codecs) get fast access to unlimited lossless audio. Diligent Design What’s the use of all this enhanced technology if it doesn’t have the physique to support it? The NT-505-X is an example of TEAC’s engineering prowess. Strong 8mm panels prevent the all-metal chassis from warping and defend from external electromagnetic forces found in most domestic environments. This contributes to the low noise level making sure the internal circuits remain uninterrupted whilst in use. The three feet have been placed strategically to the support key components within the unit and are specially designed so that whilst they appear loose when lifted they allow the feet to sit securely even on relatively uneven surfaces. This design also reduces intrusions from external vibrations and contributes to the overall isolation of the NT-505-X.
