Hi guys, I may have some money coming my way soon and wanted to get some advice on a good DAC/AMP Combo to drive my HE 500'S for $400 AUD. I like a clean transparent sound.

I'm trying to decide between these 2.   I would be using the HD650 with them.   Which is better?

I'm new and am trying to decide between these 2.   I would be using the HD650 headphone   Which is better?

I'm looking for a great DAC/AMP to drive my LCD-2 and T50 orthos in the office.  Looking for a very clean, grain-free presentation with ample headroom.   Of course the challenge is always that short of getting to a meet it's hard to hear these units at all, let alone compare side by side...

Hey guys,   So I just bought a pair of DT770-250Pro's to replace my K81DJ's that finally bit the dust after several years.   I'm looking to get a DAC/AMP combo to complement them.   I will be outputting from a MBP, so optical/USB (optical being the better of the two I'm assuming)...

I have a pair of Sennheiser HD650 headphones, and I am on regular onboard sound on my PC.  My question is, should I get an Audio-GD amp or an Essence STX sound card?  I play a ton of games and listen to a lot of music too, so what do you guys think?    

  Starting a new discussion for Audio-gd's digital filter which is also known as "flavor switch" for NFB5, NFB9, NFB10se, NFB3.1 Any comments / reviews and discussion is appreciated.     What's advantage of setting the digital filter characteristic: Except the NOS DACs , all DACs have...

I have AKG K702's and was curious which would be better the NFB-5 or the NuForce Icon HDP.

What is better for Denons D2000 while prefer warmer sound with deeper soundstage?

Always these tough decision...   I'am in search of an amp for my Beyer (and occasionally the TF10). Afters hours of reading the Lehmann-Copy sounds like a reasonable decision, since their SQ is pretty well received. Problem is: i need a dac to compansate for my onboard soundcard which would...

Is there anyone using the NFB-5 DAC/Headphone amp with the T1 or LCD2?

Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting a set of AKG k701 and the Schiit Lyr to go along with it. I was wondering which DAC would go well with that combo?

Which of these is the best SQ for the money?

I have recently purchased the NFB-5.2 to drive my Q701s when connected to a PC (Win7/64). To my ears it's a stunning combination and I'm enjoying every minute of using it, but within the gamut of possible choices between the file formats, players, drivers, connections and the DAC, I'm still...

Hey there, since I got my NFB 12.1 it looks like it prevents my Windows 7 x64 Prof. from going to sleep or shutting down. If I use windows the whole day without powering on the NFB 12.1 then sleep/shut down works fine. As soon as I once power the NFB 12.1 on (even if I power it off afterwards)...

Hi all, I've just ventured into the world of dedicated headphone amplification with the NFB-5.2 from Audio-gd. As a newbie to this part of headphone audio, I need help please. The 5.2 has 9 different settings for filtering, but I'm having trouble knowing what to use. I'll be using the 5.2 via...

 I have been thinking about upgrading my desk top computer sound system.I do not use my computer for listening to music but I do like to use my computer to watch netflix and dvds.I presently am using the non-descript computer speakers that came with my computer and would like to upgrade the...

Going to be hooking up my external monitors and some hd650s, he-500s to it.   Thoughts or are there better options?

Hey guys,   Is there an amp/dac integrated combination you would recommend for the HE-500? Does anyone have any experience with these headphones and the O2+ODAC combo? Any recommendations are appreciated. Price range is around $400 but I can be flexible if it is worth it. I would prefer a 2...

I am very new to all this high end audiophile stuff but I eagerly want to become part of the community. I have about 15% hearing loss in each ear and I know that there is a world of sound around me that everyone gets to experience but me. I spend a gross amount of time at my PC and would like to...

My Audio-gd Compass just died, which is a shame because I'd been very happy with it.  I went to the Audio-gd website to order another one but the Compass is no longer listed.   The equivalent seems to be the NFB-5.  Is that a good replacement for the Compass or is there another DAC+Amp in the...

Hi Guys   I've had to dig my headphones out again since moving from a detached house to a flat and well they just aren't cutting it compared to my last speaker set up.   My current rig is Foobar/FLAC -> Emu 0404 USB -> Modded HeedCanamp -> Grado RS-2s but the combo just isn't making me...

Hi guys,   I recently sold my HR Desktop dac/amp, and i want to buy a new dac/amp for my new D7100.   I read a lot about Yulong D100 MKII, and seems like a great dac, but before i pull the trigger,   i just want make sure that the Yulong D100 MKII, is the best choice for the D7100 ...

I have a big dilemma on my hands. I am trying to get a good nice hi-fi setup for listening to lossless audio files. Without getting into the nitty gritty, I plan to use a min-itx computer as my source of totally lossless files as a standalone unit (i.e. no networking at all). I want to send the...

Right now, i'm using Fiio E17 as a DAC, and cMoy as its AMP. looking to upgrade ... don't care about portability. but still need compatibility with IEM's.   Heard that the D100 has a great DAC chip. question is, might it be better than the DAC on DACmini ? and will the AMP of the...
