FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Nuforce uDAC USB DAC AMP with line out and S/PDIF out - Page 10

Your post was Sycophantic. I actually ordered a uDAC, but you are correct I wasn't going to overlook their poor customer service. So I posted here explaining my issue. My doing so greatly reduces the likelihood that Nuforce will promise to send an Invoice when they won't again. It's called Negative feedback. Must I explain again that since I explained the context of my complaint any dunderhead should be able to understand that my negative opinion is regarding a narrow issue, and not infer that Nuforces customer service is deficient in other areas.

Am I entitled? Yes! Absolutely, I'm the customer. I need to be more appreciative than spending my money and actually ordering one? Careful the sycophant in you is showing.

Yes, everyone is limited, but right now I happen to be feeling very close to God

It's in da house. I was deeply impressed on how good the package is. Very simple but still looks really nice. For 99$, it has a much, much better package than other 4-500$ amps I bought before. The uDac is really tiny, almost the same size with my iPhone dock. The build quality is surprisingly good; I love the plain aluminium case. Haven't listened really seriously but first impression with my PK1s is very positive. I'll post more impressions when I come back from class.

As someone who put this lovely product on my Christmas list shortly after reading Larry's review, I can only hope that my parents came through. That's one heck of a DAC at quite a price. I really hope that your lower-margin pays off; it's a refreshing escape from the rumored hyperinflation surrounding a certain relatively new flagship.

Cheers, and a merry Christmas to all at NuForce

I was going back and forth between the $189 Hifiman EF2, $199 Maverick D1, $220 iBasso D4 and $160 Aune MK2 SE, however I think I'm now leaning towards this one. More impressions and comparisons would be very useful.

I'm also interested in understanding why the Sabre DAC is better than competing products from Wolfson, TI etc. Are there measurements to support this claim?

Its brother, the ESS9018 is considered the best DAC chip in the market now. Take a look at the Buffalo building thread to have more info about it.

I find it hilarious every time I see posts like this.It seems like some people here think that all those companies are proucing and selling things to make some kind of favour to us and we should be grateful to them.
Now, I dont have any experience with Nuforce and don't know those guys.But probably even Nuforce does not care these complainment posts as much as you do, let alone find them "ANNOYING"

Def. looking foward to some direct comparison's with other DAC's. I'll be comparing mine with the EMU 0404USB w/ modded PSU & upgraded USB cable as soon as I get it, probably within the next few days.

I sure would hope so. That would be bad on your part and might not get samples in the future ;p

So I take it from those pictures that this device doesn't come with it's own USB cable then?

Negative feedback is one thing. Overly exaggerated negative feedback is another.

"Must I explain again that since I explained the context of my complaint any dunderhead should be able to understand that my negative opinion is regarding a narrow issue, and not infer that Nuforces customer service is deficient in other areas."

You specifically said that Nuforce's customer service sucks. You did NOT say that their customer service regarding "a narrow issue" sucks. There's a pretty big difference between the two that any "dunderhead" should stop being such a dunderhead and make clear that he means one and not the other. You can't say one thing, and then expect the reader to infer something else. Careful, the stupidity in you is showing.

"Am I entitled? Yes! Absolutely, I'm the customer. I need to be more appreciative than spending my money and actually ordering one?"

There are "customers" who hurt, more than they contribute to a business with their money, by their exaggeratedly negative word of mouth. I actually did not mind your overly harsh, irrational judgment (because most intelligent people who reads it will quickly ignore it), until you posted an extremely rude message directed at me. I still don't understand why you are using the word sycophant to describe me. Perhaps, you should refer to a dictionary. I had no interest in getting anything from Jason from what I initially said, except mainly to communicate to him that he shouldn't let an irrational customer get to him, which as ramus said, probably didn't.

I did not find the initial complaints annoying, only poorly founded and exaggerated. It was his message directed at me for what I said to Jason that irritated me greatly. I think I can speaking for Jason when I say that he's not just here to sell; he's also here to answer people's questions. If you don't want to be grateful for that, hey, that's fine by me.

It does have a USB cable.

how is the amp in this? specifically with the shure srh840's.

You're making it seem like one man locked in an office is cranking these things out. And I was just trying to help out the community as a whole, not just myself. Give the attitude a rest pal...

I think I will leave it up to NuForce to make that decision, thanks. Just personally, I would appreciate positive feedback if I had released a new product that was well liked. Sorry to annoy.

And since you seem envious...
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU TOO, RAMUS!
