I found it on ebay, new in box, never soldered to etc. I got lucky, keep looking. It sounds better than the frequency electronics ones which are DDS. There are 2 different kinds of these, some are programmable the others are not. They are all pulls from cell phone tower electronics packages, so no idea how much life is left. The lamp is part of the rubidium physics package. Which also includes a heater for the detector. The oven for the crystal is something else.

its not. But the jitter of the oscillator is important. Which is why the disciplined OCXO's sure seem to sound better than the synthesized disciplined things. I really did not expect the quality of the sound to change, I was surprised. best $200 for a tweek in a very long time

I've been testing a number of 10mhz reference clocks with the nt503 and this one sounds the best. I bought it on ebay new plus the power supply for $200. Its a 10mhz OCXO disciplined by a rubidium standard and is far more accurate an lower phase noise than anything I have tested. rubidium clocks have about a 10 to 15 year lifetime due to the lamp. There are also GPSDO units available on ebay for about the same $200, but require a GPS antenna for the built in TCXO to be disciplined to. click on the picture for much larger

for windows 10 you need the version of sacd_extract that is dated 7/29/2015 and is 1073KB the older version never worked for me on windows 10

yes it works this way, requires a computer tied to the usb port. i'm ok with this. however when the nt503 is tied to the network and you use the ios app, it will not play gapless. whats the point of network enabled if you still need a pc.

works fine with windows 10 anniversary update make sure the firewall is not blocking the port

Chris Gestrin Stillpoint Songlines Records iso rips fine, I did it twice on the second track arithmetic decoding error in frame 18162 then rips the rest of it fine any ideas

so my former boss who also has quite a large sacd collection sent me this, any ideas Musicaphon M56886, Mozart, Haydn Fruhe Werke PentaTone PTC 5186 503, Bruch/Korngold violin ctos, Steinbacher EMI Classics 5099 9 55978 2 9, Beethoven triple cto/Brahms double cto Chandos CHSA 5123, Szymanowski Stabat Mater PentaTone PTC 5186 510, Prokofiev/Khachachurian piano ctos., Arghamanyan PentaTone PTC 5186 212, Berlioz, Damnation of Faust PentaTone PTC 5186 557, Russian Dances PentaTone PTC 5186 227, LaSalle Qt., Schubert/Schumann Chandos CHSA 5167, Tchaikovsky/Khachachurian piano ctos., Wang The software reads the disc and the information on it, opens a folder and then immediately says “we are done” without writing any files to the folder. Raw ISO rip works fine, but I can’t rip dff files from the ISO file either. Most of these are newer discs (all of the PentaTone problem discs – although some are from old recordings – both Chandos are new), but the EMI Classics and Musicaphon are discs a few years old. I may have one or more of these titles myself, have not looked yet, and he has not tried dsf output instead. Any ideas?

sure hope gapless playback over the network actually works on this one. the teac is very broken for this.

got all the networking working, but no matter what i do, about 8 seconds in between songs. both as dlna, as shared media, and usb. laptop hooked up to usb works fine with both teac player and foobar. which pretty much means the networking part of this thing is completely useless

anyone know the tricks to get a nt-503 to see a shared folder on a windows 10 machine? tried every kind of permissions possible, does not even ask for a username/password

have a fiio x5ii native iso files play fine, best to put them in a subdirectory otherwise there seems to be an issue dsdiff directories with the individual tracks work great. found a cheap 512GB card, either something wrong with the player software, or the card is hosed found a slightly more expensive 1TB card, and that one seems to work fine. 128GB cards, sandisk and Samsung work fine

no problem with my proprius disc, volume one, need to find the fim version and volume two.

if you assign the player a static address on the same subnet as the computer which also has a static address then you can use a Ethernet crossover cable to hook the 2 together without a router or hub. I tested this, works fine.

i am using the original unmodified script. if you tell me which post # i will look at the differences up to disc 57 now, just a bit over 1800 to go. All being stored over the network to a raid10 nas box.
