REVIEW - Yulong Audio Sabre DA8 Reference DAC
Concerning this recent discussion / developement of yours i'd rather say, strange lays in different angle. Yulong claims that he optimised Amanero firmware / driver for his DA8 purpose. Your experience concerning Amanero vs. Yulong response / support seems to tell different story. That might...- SidiousX

NFB-17.32 vs.NFB-1(2014) or
I've heard both 17 and 1. IMHO soundwise 1 all the way, no doubt about it. Do not forget the fact that only ES9018 allowing u to use 32/384 and DSD/DXD. Who know what future brings and it seems that ES9018 is more future proof already. Saying this i am aware about USD 200 difference, still if...- SidiousX

Audio-GD NFB-1.32
Unfortunatelly you need to look again as it is quite different. NFB-1S was previously sell as NFB-1P in old case. This DAC is build on NFB-17 mainboard (minus WM8741 modules) + ES9018 modul taken form Compass2 project. So magical recycle. NFB-1 eiter .32 or 2014 (only case is different) is...- SidiousX

Audio-GD NFB-3 (2014) ES9018 DAC
You already have existing topic for NFB-1 http://www.head-fi.org/t/625945/audio-gd-nfb-1-32 It has already some valueable feedback, the difference with NFB-1 (2014) is the case only, there is no point to make new topic. Concerning shipping, you have 2 ways DHL, EMS. You have chosen DHL which...- SidiousX

Audio-gd USB-32 Firmware, Drivers, and Feedback Thread
I think it safe to bet he did not do any changes in DAC construction per se. 2 things he had to change as i said earlier were USB-32 module to make it DSD compatible, so it ends as USB-32DSD as he announced some time ago and (that's my quess) he had to change ES9018 clock for higher to make it...- SidiousX

Audio-gd USB-32 Firmware, Drivers, and Feedback Thread
It would be fine & dandy, but i do not think so. I assume that USB-32DSD is required, which is modified USB-32 (modified built?, modified clock/clocks?), aswell for proper 384K you need higher clock than even TCXO which was provided previoulsy for ES9018 itself in Audio-GD case.- SidiousX

Audio-gd NFB-28
What is your NFB-28 replacement then, LKS? something different? Edit: OK i see in your description, LKS it is. So my 2nd quess was correct. If you could compare, my question still stands. I am on the similar path...- SidiousX

Audio-gd NFB-28
Amanero suggest you have replaced NFB-28 by Yulong DA8, is that correct? If so, could you provide direct comparison of sound signature, from your point of view? TIA.- SidiousX
