You are using 192KHz vs 44.1KHz content and yet BW is set to 22KHz. Let's see what happens out to 100KHz at least.
The made TEAC NT-505 measurement was great, but this type of unit can be completely different if you could measure it as network streamer (not as USB DAC) - the weakest point of this unit is the USB "gate" (unfortunately not as good like the XMOS XU208/XU216 types)
Since this unit is mainly a Streamer (from local network/internet) the most interesting measurements for most of the users is this capability.
The NET board is brand newly developed and I assume much-much higher quality than the USB input. (I guess Lumin D2/T2 level at least) YT review (see the ENG sub)
Is is possible to re-measure the NT-505 from network as source?
Many many thanks in advance!
Whatever it is true or not... A broken USB input in a 1699€ DAC/Streamer is completely unacceptable.The made TEAC NT-505 measurement was great, but this type of unit can be completely different if you could measure it as network streamer (not as USB DAC) - the weakest point of this unit is the USB "gate" (unfortunately not as good like the XMOS XU208/XU216 types)

I completely agree with you!Whatever it is true or not... A broken USB input in a 1699€ DAC/Streamer is completely unacceptable.
I am currently using a TEAC NT-505. Mostly stream from a MacBook Pro (late 2016) via expensive USB cable (long sad story that I don’t want to talk about anymore ) using the TEAC HR Audio Player software. I would be very interested in seeing its results when using the TEAC external clock. I am debating whether I should add a Synology NAS to my network and use the TEAC’s streaming capability with the LUMIN streaming application on an iPad or selling the TEAC and USB cable and moving on to the Benchmark DAC-3 which according to Benchmark doesn’t need no stinking expensive cable!I completely agree with you!
But luckily I don't use USB source at all and I was just courius about the results from the NET. In 95% of times I'm using Tidal. I'm looking for native Tidal (MQA) cabable streamer with built-in HP amp
Moreover this unit has an external clock input and I guess this is great opportunity for improvement.
Now we compared an NT-505 side by side with a Topping D90 from USB source and the Teac was sonically (by our ears) far better than the Topping D90. That's why strange the measurement.

Thank you, Veri!Expensive audio clocks are a scam https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/auralic-leo-gx-dac-clock-review.11001/
I think it's really weird how in audio, the idea is often pushed that minor jitter issues are audible, and that super insane GPS-grade clocks will somehow make music sound "better". You can easily verify whether mild jitter is audible to you, archimago has done tests before on his blog http://archimago.blogspot.com/2018/08/demo-musings-lets-listen-to-some-jitter.htmlThank you, Veri!
I don’t understand. Is “bloody ears” good or bad?Now saying that I´m very pleased with the performance as a streamer and the addition of the CG have in no way given me bloody ears
