Yeah that's just the way it is

No you can not use those cables to convert RCA to headphone output. Where did you get that idea? :D There's a headphone out that matches headphone requirements that's it, RCA out is completely different thing, it's a line out to plug into other devices, end of story.

Can't you buy one from europe? Actually you don't need any power bricks or anything, Do you see those yellow blue brown white cables on the left? termnitated in h\whit connectors? and that little white cable next to pcb main text on the PCB, you need to switch those around, it has the...

Yeah I used HR player since the beginning when I found it on Japanese website, it's very basic but works flawlessly now (the early versions wouldn't play all the files) you can set it up to load files to RAM for playback. Sound wise yeah maybe it does sound better (at least you don't have to set...

Jeremy it depends on headphones if you'll see the difference, built in amp works when there's line out connected, but i don't know if it's a good practice. In my own experience Objective 2 amp sounds a tad better than TEAC's built in one, they're both quite neutral it's just that O2 has more...

Great to hear that, yeah it's even better for us lucky bunch who got it on sale at richersounds. I'm still on Goldring DR150 headphones, but thinking of buying German Maestro GMP 400 as there is one retailer here who sells them for 180 EUR, that's a good deal I think.

Me too, but it never got to much praise and didn't get a huge fan base =/ not gimmicky enough probably :D You think it punches above it's weight? It's my first and only DAC so can't compare too much stuff except for auditioning vs dacmagic

Hope that not everybody has sold theis :D new drivers for windows 8 are out http://teac.jp/product/ud-h01/downloads/ even though I had only one crash on windows 8.1 with old drivers

@dopaminer Hello no unfortunately it will not work the way you wish it to :/ it's just a line out output in the end and the output impendance is way high. Dont convert your headphones, enjoy them as is ;) some don't hear the improvements of going balanced on headphones

Hey Gino. All I am saying is there is so many DAC's around that it is so hard to choose so just look around for best deal cause many of DAC's are quite similar in performance. I got my TEAC UD H01 from UK at a discounted price of 150 GBP plus 40 GBP for shipping. It has quite a nice headphone...

You know that everything depends, On the: price you can get it for; headphones you use.... As a general rule mains powered DAC should sound better than USB powered one, but than again new headphones would change the sound much more than a DAC. Personally I like my TEAC a lot, and would probably...

All in all ds h01 i a great ipod dock that bypases idevices internal processing and gets the best quality out. Yes the ud-h01 is a USB capable DAC so you can connect it to a cd player with coaxial or optical or to pc via usb. Also you can connect your DS H01 to the ud h01 and use your idevice as...

It's not supposed to work as a USB DAC, the usb port is there as on any other ipod dock just for syncing with itunes.
