    Audio-gd R2R DAC Thread

    Thanks for your reply Fred. My unit is the same. I'm sure I had the cable the correct way. Out of desperation I tried it the other way and it didn't work at all, didn't harm the R2R11 thankfully. I guess it could be a driver problem. I tried doing this on Windows, did you? The fact it worked...

    Audio-gd R2R DAC Thread

    Also having issues updating my R2R11... More specifically, in the iMPACT software when I initialize chain it detects there's a XILINX device but it's "unknown". According to Kingwa, it should detect more information and be ready to flash. As it's unknown, it keeps prompting me for a config file...

    Gustard A20H DAC (Dual AK4497EQ, analog preamp, headphone amp, all in one)

    Received my A20H a few days ago and am thoroughly enjoying listening to it, very clear and detailed. I don't know if I believe in 'burn-in' but it definitely seems to be sounding better the more I use it.   I'm interested in the Singxer SU-1 upgrade which I see quite a few Gustard owners have...

    Audio-gd NFB-28

    Yeah. I can't quite get over how it only happens sometimes. I love the sound of the NFB28 and as a balanced DAC/preamp/HP amp it's perfect for my needs so I'm set on getting this to work. Will email Kingwa then. I'll post again when it's been solved.

    Yes exactly the same issue. As soon as it is plugged in "USB Device Not Recognised" comes up. Going into Device Manager it comes up as 'Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)'. Double clicking on this shows this is error 'Code 43'. Like I said this happens intermittently...

    Audio-gd NFB-28

    Should have mentioned I've reinstalled the drivers (it's funny - on the AGD website they use an outdated version of the amanero drivers. I've tried both clean installed). As it happens on my laptop and desktop I don't think it's a driver issue. Is there any guidance online on reflashing the...

    Audio-gd NFB-28

    My NFB-28 is having an intermittent "USB Device Not Recognized" issue. It is one of the newer versions with the Amanero interface. I've tried different power cables, USB cables, USB ports and different computers. Other inputs work as normal. It appears the Amanero USB interface isn't starting...

    ^ All the ES9018 DAC's say "upgrade to TCXO clock since 21st February" on their product pages (well the NFB7 is the only current product with the ES9018, the others all said it before they were discontinued). So the Digital Interface isn't the only unit with an upgradeable TCXO. I just paid...

    320MP3 To 320M4A VBR?

    Only do this if you are suffering from space limitations because you are lowering the sound quality of your whole library as ClieOS has pointed out. On better sound gear you probably could hear the difference.   If you must transcode, it would probably be less harmful and more space saving...

    Need Some Speakers ($300 Budget)

    Behringer Truth B3030A's  are 165 each on Amazon. They're active studio monitors so you can use them direct out of out your NFB5 and don't need to worry about an amplifier. You will need a RCA to 1/4" adapters or cables (they only take 1/4" or XLR). I'm running their bigger brother (the...

    Sansa, Nationite, or Cowon digital audio player?

    FWIW - I was looking into getting a Nationite S:Flo2 and found a couple of reviews on here. Apparently the SQ is very good but it suffers from a terrible UI. Hopefully a software update can fix it.

    I see the WA6 doesn't have XLR inputs so you will have to use SE. An XLR to SE cable loses all the benefits of balanced so don't bother.
