You don't see much TEAC stuff around these parts. How do you like it? Any chance you've heard their dedicated headphone amp? 

 
So far i think its a total steal for $849. It has tons of options to tweak the sound to your liking, or be pure as possible. It doesnt get very hot, is built like a tank too. I'm still burning it in, but my initial impression is that its a new standard that's in the < $1k category. Even the built in headphone amp (100mw/32ohms) is quite impressive. Teac did a fine job on cost/performance here with additional options unknown in this price range.
 
Unfortunately I have not heard their matching amp, I am too satisfied with my 5yr warrantied Mjolnir :)

I have the Pure i20 as well and really think highly of it.  Nice looking rig you got there.
 


Thanks Hodgjy, its been quite a journey full of fine equipment to get it where its at of what I believe to be the best price/performance all-rounder to my ears (throw in the HE-5LE too lol).

How is it compared to the D18? I've had my eye on the Teac for quite some time, but haven't heard many experiences about it.

I'm still letting the Teac burn in, but the D18 is going to have some competition for sure. I can say it sounds grain free and dynamic, it startled me a few times with classical already. The D18 is smoother and sweeter, losing a bit of that top end sparkle, making long sessions non-problematic.

Can't get over how silly looks taking pictures with an iPad

Or is that a surface?

LOL. So true. It's my kid's iPad with the cover hanging down.

Kind of cool how the rear view mirror makes it look like you can see the whole headband on the Fostex and DJs... Those are the little details you get from a real Pro like myself.
