Bought this on the last drop. Plug and play on OSX (late 2012 MBP) and iOS (iPad4). Sounds about what I expected connected to Shure 846 buds. Its a good DAC. Could NOT get it to work on Android (tried S6 and S8 with OTG cable) without using the TEAC app. On Windows, I could only use it with the TEAC player or ASIO in foobar. The limitation I experienced on Windows and Android makes it inconvenient since you have to switch between this DAC for your audio played through the TEAC application and then another device for other content outside of the TEAC player. I couldn't ever get it working with Spotify connected to Windows through USB. Only working solution I found was to use it with optical out on the PC to the TEAC DAC.

WoodmotoThe latest firmware listed on TEAC's website for the HA-P5 is v1.01 dated 2016-10-06. My unit was running v1.00 out of the box according to my iPad. I updated the firmware but it did not change the behavior when connected to my Windows or Android devices. Note that the firmware release notes states v1.01 is only an LED fix for the battery indicator. I didn't pursue getting to work any further connected to USB since TEAC made no claims it would work outside of their TEAC application for Windows or Android. If all units work like mine, then I wouldn't recommend against buying it when connected to an Apple product or through optical cable to any product. I would recommend against buying it when connected through USB to Android or Windows as there are other options that probably sound just as good but also work on those platforms.
