#Minimserver change drive update
I am returning home on the 1st and will happily report my findings with airplay and the update if you'd like.īuild quality is top notch and we much like the retro-ish/modern appearance. Spotify is also supposed to work (I'm not a spotify user, but just sayin). There was an update released which supposedly enhanced/allowed airplay, but I didn't have the time to update it. For now - shes been using Tidal exclusively. My fiance uses Airplay and honestly - I was called to work. I do wish it had a small color screen, but the phone app more than makes up for it. I considered the Cary DMS600 (waaay too expensive for what it is). There isn't much available actually - strange really. I'd even been happy finding another dac with USB out, but that is non-existent. I was searching for a dual ak4497 streaming dac. Like you - we had a bluesound node 2 (not the I). I had never used the Lumin, but its quite easy to use. I haven't used used headphones with it, but the app is exactly the same as what Lumin uses. The new Bluesound did what I call block spatialization, ie there is the middle, then void, then each speaker individually, none of the smooth gapless Dolby effect I got off FLACs from my PC.

I am psyched, unit arrives today, got a trade in full MSRP for the HD-DACa and can still return the replacement Bluesound (love Amazon). I like BluOS and I am hopeful the TEAC has a similar or better interface via the apps as shown on the datasheet above.Ĭan owners please chime in? How is the headphone stage? MQA convert here after I discovered Tidal and the wonders of dual MQA dual unfolding 350kHz/24bit/1600kbps using Android/UAPP with iFi-xDSD alimenting my beloved AKG K702s. Additionally my first Node 2i has terrible distortion for high treble on RCA analog out which only ceases if I activate tone controls, reducing definition and separation somewhat. Want Airplay around the house to my Marantz receivers but Bluesound falsely advertises the Node 2i as having Airplay2, on the support forum techs admitted it will be some time before they implement it, of course they did not alter the marketing on the website to reflect this. Struggling with my new Bluesound Node 2i and Marantz HD-DAC1 combo.

In addition to a wide range of digital and analogue inputs, a Bluetooth® receiver supporting LDAC™ and Qualcomm® aptX HD™ allows you to stream high-quality audio wirelessly from your smartphone to this flagship USB DAC.
There’s also a built-in MQA decoder, and you will enjoy unlimited music content on the Internet thanks to its high-quality digital and analogue processing technologies. On the network audio side, the NT-505 supports high-quality music subscription services, namely TIDAL and Qobuz, and is Roon Ready. The analogue section, which is one of the keys to sound quality, includes four TEAC-HCLD buffer amp circuits that allow different drive modes, – fully-balanced drive for balanced output, and parallel drive mode for unbalanced output – to achieve enhanced acoustic expression. This improves the S/N (signal to noise) ratio by processing each channel individually in monaural mode, as well as delivering DSD512 (22.5MHz) native and 768kHz/32-bit PCM playback capabilities. Like its predecessor (the NT-503) it employs 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. It successfully incorporates the latest network technologies, along with TEAC’s decades of accumulated audio design experience, in an attractive package with an A4-sized footprint. The NT-505 is a flagship dual monaural USB DAC with versatile network playback capabilities.
