TEAC NT-507T Network Transport

TEAC NT-507T Network Transport

The TEAC NT-507T is a reference-grade network streaming transport that delivers high-fidelity digital output via USB only—designed for audiophiles who already own a premium DAC.

The TEAC NT-507T focuses purely on delivering the cleanest possible digital signal by eliminating onboard conversion and analog-output stages. It features TEAC’s Network Engine G4, a large linear power supply, SFP optical network input for isolation, WiFi 6 support, and a dedicated high-quality USB output. 

It supports an impressive range of formats including PCM up to 32-bit/768 kHz and native DSD up to 22.5 MHz/DSD22.5. The twin USB ports allow direct playback from attached storage, effectively turning it into a music-server component. 

With its minimalist design, premium build (semi-floating aluminium top panel, isolation feet), and focus on signal integrity, the NT-507T is ideal for serious systems where the DAC, preamp and power amplifier are already high end.

Top 20 Questions About TEAC NT-507T

What is the TEAC NT-507T?
It is a high-end network streaming transport designed to output a pure digital signal (via USB) to an external DAC rather than producing analog output itself.

Why would I pick the TEAC NT-507T over a standard streamer with DAC?
Because if you already have a high-performance DAC, the NT-507T removes conversion and analog stages from the chain, improving signal purity and timing.

Does the TEAC NT-507T include a built-in DAC?
No—this unit outputs only digital signals via USB and relies on a separate DAC to convert to analog. 

What audio formats does the NT-507T support?
PCM up to 32-bit/768 kHz and DSD up to 22.5 MHz (DSD22.5) among many others. 

What network connections are available on the NT-507T?
Ethernet RJ45, optical SFP (for isolated network), and WiFi 6 for wireless streaming. 

Can I play music from USB drives or an SSD with the NT-507T?
Yes—two USB ports (Type-A and Type-C) allow connection of flash drives, HDD/SSD. It supports direct playback and can function as a simple music server. 

Is the NT-507T Roon Ready?
Yes—it supports Roon integration and has a dedicated Roon-Only mode to optimize playback. 

What makes the power supply of the NT-507T special?
It uses a large linear power supply with a toroidal transformer and multiple independent windings to isolate different circuits and reduce noise. 

Will the NT-507T improve sound quality over simpler streamers?
If your system is already at a high level (externally good DAC, amplifier, cables), yes—it can provide cleaner signal, lower noise floor, and better timing.

Which DACs can I pair with the NT-507T?
Any USB-equipped DAC, though TEAC pairs it with their UD-507 DAC/preamp. 

Does the NT-507T support volume control via its app?
Yes—it offers a USB Volume Function allowing control of a connected USB DAC or preamp from the streamer’s app. 

What finishes are available?
Typically silver or black finishes, matching TEAC’s Reference 500 series. 

Is the NT-507T easy to operate?
Yes—it supports TEAC’s HR Streamer app, OpenHome compatible apps and standard streaming service integrations like TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify. 

Does the NT-507T generate much heat or require special ventilation?
It’s compact (~290×85×246 mm) and should run cool under normal use, though good ventilation is always recommended. 

How does the NT-507T isolate network noise?
Via its SFP optical network input and isolated network architecture, reducing electrical noise from the broader network. 

Can I use WiFi instead of wired Ethernet with the NT-507T?
Yes—WiFi 6 is built-in, and you can choose wired or wireless based on your setup. 

What is the role of the semi-floating top panel and isolation feet?
They are mechanical design features to reduce vibration and resonance, improving clarity and tonal accuracy. 

What room and system setup is the NT-507T best for?
A high-fidelity stereo system with a quality DAC, analog chain, good cables and speakers/amplifier where source detail and timing matter.

Is the NT-507T worth the investment?
If you already have a strong system and want to upgrade your streaming front-end, yes. If you don’t yet have a dedicated DAC or higher-end system, a more integrated streamer might offer better value.
