i am hoping to set  up a free home trial with the teac and chord 2qute dacs, just as soon as i can find dealers who can let me have both at same time.
just curious to know if any of you teac owners have compared to 2qute?
 
as a side note, the headphone amp is not important to me, only the dac.
cheers

Hi,
 
Chord 2Qute DAC seems a bit overpriced... no Stereo XLR, No Headphone amp out, no RCA Line in, does not support DSD256, no way to select between NOS and upsamling, No possiblity to select different digital filters.
 
The Teac UD503 gives a lot of bang for the bucks!!  And it sounds great!
 
Cheers

Tell me!Than Unscrew the side screws?

TEAC 503!

 
I'm sorry. I've no idea what you're asking me???.  
 
And I'm not disassembling my DAC just for the purpose of posting images.

You need an Allen Key or Umbraco key (can´t remember which size) to remove the side screws. This goes as well for the aluminium lid, it just an smaller Allen key.   
 
Remember UNPLUG the 120/230V power chord if you decide to open your UD-503, due to the risk of electric shock, if you dont know what you´re doing!

Sorry. I didn't understand your English. Anyway FlemmingBach gave you an answer. And I don't know the key size either.
 
Good luck.

Hi AudioQuality777
 
It looks like your NT-503 has an additional Switch-Mode power supply. This is properbly to supply current to the extra Digital interface PCB´s  that the NT-503 has. 
 
Can you take some more pictures of your NT-503 of the Inside ? 
 
Cheers

These details have apparently moved on a separate power Board.

Just got this DAC in and it is a very good unit.  Running it straight to my powered monitors with very good results.  Running it nonstop for a few days and will be able to comment further but so far so good.

 Which powered speakers are those? I'm running mine to my Audioengine A5+ with the S8 sub.
