BEFORE I ORDER, DOES ANYONE WANT TO SELL ME THEIR 28? I PAY GOOD PRICE!

The extra power....

I'm on the fence about ordering an NFB-28 vs the NFB-1 dac+amp combo. I emailed Kingwa and he said the difference between the two is very minimal. I respect that since the NFB-1 combo costs much more.    As far as balanced, don't worry about it unless you have a very noisy environment with...

I had an NFB10.33., which was the Wolfson 8740 version of the NFB 28. I purchased it for the sole purpose of being a preamp/DAC in my stereo. It replaced a $2,000 preamp and $500 DAC. The Audio GD sounded better than that $2,500 combo.nothing to worry about there

Thanks. I'm using the Schiit Jot with integrated dac connected via balanced cable. I'm going to try out a new amp/dac before giving up on these phones.   I can accept that the spacial presentation from headphones will be lacking compared to speakers. However, should the voicing and clarity be...

I'm curious about this as well. Is the NFB-1 combo superior or would one be merely paying for the extra chassis over the price of the 28?

After only 4 hours of use, I'm probably sending my Jot with DAC module back. It's a quality product, but just not what I'm looking for. If anyone wants mine let me know soon.

By full size amp, are you referring to the enotiva mini-x?

Disclaimer: I'm a speaker guy, not a headphone guy. I have heard and owned many speakers and components but not much in the headphone world. The LCD2 is my first "audiophile" headphone. I am not trying to sound elitist or offend anyone who own these headphones. The more I listen to these LCD2...

I was never on their mailing list, so I never got an email. I stumbled upon it just by googling "black Friday audeze 2016." I found the bstock page on Google even before I stumbled across it here or anywhere else and successfully purchased a pair. The sale is over now however

Just received a mass email from Audeze stating that they sold out of the LCD2 within hours and that they can only send out the Aluminum ones. Or you can cough up another 5 bills for the LCD-X. Refund is the last option of course. Funny thing is I already received my pair of Aluminum, but still...

I did not specify and received aluminum.

That is exactly who I bought it from. The cable works and uses quality parts. I'm the last one to claim that a properly made cable makes it sound better or worse.    Edit: He took forever to ship. 6 days. But I didn't give a damn at all because... well you all know why... 

I'm going to be of absolutely zero help here. I didn't even try the unbalanced cable. I ordered the balanced cable and Schiit Jot the day after I ordered the cans. I feel like if you have an amp and phones that can be connected with a "balanced" cable, then why not do it? The cost of the cable...
