Audio-gd NFB-17.2

Fully balanced design built by discrete analog stages without any OPA and couple caps in the signal channels. Non- feedback ACSS analog output stage . R-core transformers. Class A power supplies , Total have 7 groups PSUs and 3,8000 UF Audio caps for power supplies. 5 channels digital input : 2 X RCA coaxial / 2 X Optical / 1 X USB DAC output : XLR / RCA / ACSS USB Audio Class 2 High-speed Input from PC/MAC (NFB-17.2) Supports full speed Asynchronous Transfer Mode (NFB-17.2) Resolutions support 16 / 24-Bit with sampling rate support 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz, 192kHz (NFB-17.2 USB model) Supports up to 24Bit/192KHz (Coaxial inputs ) Supports 2X , 4X and 8X oversampling customers setting Memorizes all settings and it could resume the last settings when power on. Sound Characteristics: "Neutral but smoothness sounding ,it doesn't sound skeletal or digital (or metallic). There's meat aplenty on them bones . It's a sigma-delta DAC chip implementation without the dryness, neutrality without the emotional disconnection" - John Darko If only the RCA is used, is the NFB-17 being wasted or not fully utilized? NFB-17 is a real balanced DAC . It has balanced output (ACSS, XLR and balanced headphone output) and single-ended output . There are 4 ACSS amplifiers in the NFB-17 for balanced outputs and balanced inputs. Even when a single-ended output is used, the “Dual WM8741” DA chips will perform fully thanks to the fully balanced design.
