Hi folks,

My CD player transport was on the blink for the last few months and I have ordered myself a vey highly reviewed TEAC 701T transport that I have yet to receive.

Has anyone any experience of this unit with the BDA3 DAC?

Thanks,

Michael.

No experience at all. I'm sure it'd be awesome.

Please share your experience with us when you've had a chance to use it a few times. I'm keen to hear about it.

I most certainly will. I'm really bummed that the CD Transport crapped out on me just over the 2yr warranty. Not what you expect from a CD player costing €3000

So, this device is a little like the BDA 3 when it was in its early flush. All the details are there, bar the micro ones, just a little recessed. Given that it had an hour on it, the instrument separation is better than my previous transport, vertical sound stage is bigger and I've had a few "haven't heard that before" moments. Given that it delivered all of that within an hour of warming up, I suspect this TEAC will blossom into brilliant.

For reference, I use the very excellent Neotech NEVD SPDIF UPOCC silver cable to connect it to the BDA. I have yet to try it with the upsampling on the BDA and will report on that and overall progress in due course.
