Just a word of caution to all who will be comparing the Teac to
the Krell SACD player or the Sony XA777ES SACD player.
The Teac in stock form has very poor resolution through the
5.1 outputs. This is due to surface mounted coupling capacitors
in the multichannel output section.
Once these caps are replaced (along with the caps around each
DAC chip) the sound improves by a factor of three to four times.
The Teac is an excellent multichannel product once the caps are
replaced. Note: I Used Black Gate STD type for the coupling caps
and N types around each DAC. This gave me a very detailed but warm
sound.
