I enjoy mine.... at the moment I'm bolstering a tablets output using the TEAC as a pre. The build and versatility (it will run Harvey's or high impedance) make it a keeper!

Thanks for an excellent review and enjoyable read! Might be a good next step after my Asgard.

hello,
 
thanks so much for the review! this amp has intringed me for quite some time. love, love, love the industrial design, glad to learn that it sounds as good as it looks!

Nice review. I've had many DACs, and the Teac UE501 stayed w/ me the longest. You should try it w/ some DSD sources if you haven't done so yet, it's in another level when compared w/ normal 16/44.1 or even 24/96 music files.

Sorry for the typo, it's UD501...

Extremely happy with mine, going on my third week of revelation.

Great job on the review! Looks like a sweet amp and I like that it has preamp out as well. Good job.

My favorite hi-fi dealer, Quest for Sound, in Pennsylvania sells these. 
 
If you're interested in hearing more about this contact Stephen Monte, he'll be glad to chat with you.

One of my favorite dealers and a great friend to the Head-Fi community sells these also. Todd at TTVJ (Todd the Vinyl Junkie).

I got mine from Mike of American Audophile in Lynbrook, long island, he turned me onto it prior to the Fall meet in N.Y. He was nice to loan me that along with an AK100 to have at the show. That initial exposure was enough to convince me of it's numerous inherent qualities and had me decdide then and there that I would have to add one to my collection. I highly recommend Miike as a great guy to deal with, he has been at thus same location for many years brring one of the first high value High End stores in the New York metropolitan area. His number is 516-87-7530, check him out.

this is a real nice line of gear. for the price I don't think there are any questions.

Already one of my. "ear buddies" is contemplating taking the plunge also, I know he will not be disappointed. I wished he lived closer, a few listens would be all intakes. So far mine has mated well with every one of my phones that I have thrown at it.

Nice review, succinct yet thorough.  TTVJ.com next stop.

How much power does it have out of the Balanced Outs? 1.4W pc is well I just wonder, AUdio GDs got their Percision 1 for around $700 or so, pumping out... well a crap ton of power
 
Still I wonder how it compares to Schiit and Audio GD amps in the same price range? 

It seems kinda silly to compare to the Asgard amps when this one costs 3x as much, am I missing something here?

The reviewer owned both Asgards.... hence the comparison.

Great review!  ...added to my Want List

Ehh... I dunno if many people who've listened to both are gonna agree that the Teac "puts the Woo to shame"... A WA3 running, say, Telefunken E88CCs may even be slightly more detailed than the Teac, actually. A WA3 running the Telefunkens and a WE 421A power is going to be more detailed and have a larger soundstage as well. Of course, that's almost $700 in just the tubes alone, but it's worth noting. I've listened to the Teac and it's a terrific sounding amp and a great value... But no, it's not on the same level as a WA3 running the right tubes. 

Great review. Very thorough and a great read.

Since I have both I am tempted to do a bit of tube rolling with the WA3 one day.  It has a special symmetry with my AKG K340 hybrids, really quite magical.  It also does well with my 600 ohm DT880.  The Teac has just about all my dynamic phones sounding better than they have previously.  The air, control, bass detail, refined sound and three dimensional presentation makes it one of the best headphone related investments I have made.  Very highly recommended.
