Sounds promising, allows feeding it with DSD data if one prefers to bypass processing and have just D/A conversion.

 

I think I need to get one!

 

Please get one and let us know what you think. :)))

If you give it thumbs up then I could seriously consider it an option since it is an all-in-one DAC.

A short comparison shows that the provided technology is close to the SOTA Esoteric network players, which obviously have different structure & design. Is it safe to assume that the TEAC reference series stops just short of being esoteric (pun intended)?

If I am not mistaken this new TEAC DAC costs around 1,400 Euros and I'd say that's amazing value considering it's an all-in-one DAC.
If the TEAC reference has the same quality engine and handling as the Esoteric products then I could ignore the cheaper bodywork. :)

 348.000 yen about  2675€ without taxes

 

Sorry, my bad, I thought I had seen that price tag of €1,400 somewhere.
Thanks for the correct info on the price, but I must say that a price tag of €2,675 still makes it very good value, especially if it is as good as the specs suggest.
