Try to mail direct to Audio GD, they may help.
Just ordered a NFB 11, hope it will make my Fidelio X2 sound better. (currently using an Audiotrak Prodigy HD2 sound card with AKM4396 chip).

Took several tries to get the usb driver to install when I got mine in March. Because of the delay issue on youtube, I just switch to optical, less headache that way.

Just so voldemortnbk knows, you don't have to install the additional USB drivers unless you must have ASIO. Just plug and play.

Guys i heard people said the usb input has good detail but lacks musical while the optical input is opposite: musical sound but lacks detail. The coaxial input has both musical and detail. Is that true? (and sorry for my bad English)

No. Should be indistinguishable from each other.

Is it a bad idea if connect NFB11 with a warm signature amp to get a more musical sound from this Saber DAC??? Need help here because my fiancee like a transparent and neutral while I prefer a warmer sound. Any suggestions for this?

I think it's ok. But i also heard (lol) a guy said this and i like his point: to him, the sound from DAC/Amp should be neutral and let the headphone shines in the way it should be. So if you prefer warm sound, why don't you just get a headphone with warm sound signature?

Lol, guess you should sit there and wait for some more advices.

Let me start a help thread and see if any idea comes.

I like to have neutral capable headphones which I then warm up with warm gear

Long time user of NFB-11 here, serving me well with HD650, DT880, Dunu DN-1000. However, I think it's time for an upgrade. I was thinking about Beyerdynamics T1 because my preferred sound sig is neutral-bright/vshaped like the DT880 but I want a tad bit more bass and better imaging, soundstage. I'm thinking T1 will do the job here. Can anyone who has a T1 tell me some brief impressions on the combo? Thanks. BTW, high sparkly treble does not bother me, I actually like it.

Just received my NFB-11. Its drive my X2 very good, more detail, senses of space is sharper. better bass controled, etc,... But it goes hot after a listening time. Is it safe for a long session run?

Don't block the vents on top, and you will be fine.
