i think the m51 is slightly better in most areas. not really worth the difference. teac is building very good affordable gear.
syg, it sounds good okay? go get one and find out for yourself. i like reviews but i hardly ever buy something i cannot listen to. put it this way, it beats most dacs under 2 grand. just like the codex beats most dacs under 10 grand. there are bargains if you look around. i don't mean a better price. i mean it is a bargain at msrp quite frankly. of course how i hear it is not necessarily how you will. so please try to listen to it. many companies have 30 or 90 day return policy.
it is interesting to read about these differences in build quality.
are these all made in one factory or do teac have more than one?
no, you cannot connect to an idevice.
Has someone verified this? I thought apple's new lightning CCK and ios7 and higher allowed connection to a lot of (all?) USB dacs that support pcm. In another thread, someone is even using home sharing to output dsd from the stock ios music app (dsd over pcm, packed into alac) to an Ifi micro.
