Currently I use an HiFiman HE-500 driven by an EHP-O2 (O2+ODAC). The HE-500 is an awesome/crisp/highly detailed headphone but I would like to improve the amp/DAC part. My budget is not that big (max. 400€) but I don't mind buying second hand.   I've found the Audio GD NFB-11 to be an...

Just wondering what the differences are between the two products (linked below). Also, I've seen people referring to a 2014 version of the NFB-11 - is that a third variation? NFB-11: http://www.audio-gd.com/Pro/Headphoneamp/NFB112014/NFB112014EN.htm NFB-11.32...

My system right now is an O2, ODAC, Mad Dogs, and a DT880/600. Next upgrade? Max budget is $1500. I am open to upgrading any part of the chain, amp, DAC, or headphone. My music preferences are indie rock, alternative rock, and folk. Some of my favorite artists are Animal Collective, Radiohead...

Hello,   I am looking to upgrade my current headphone setup to a Sennheiser HD650 and a DAC.   Currently, I am using Sennheiser HD 558 Open Headphones with my Alienware-18 on-board Realtek Chipset Realtek ALC3661. It is one the highest performing on-board sound card with a 600ohm headphones...

Hey everyone, I havent been on this forum for awhile but I would love your help on finding a pair of new cans. I love electronic, edm, hip hop, rock and roll. A bunch of genres but since I already have a pair of sr-60is, I want my new cans to be focused on edm and hip hop. Some examples...

Both are said to be very neutral with lots of detail. So which is more so?   Will be used for music production with Sony MDR 7520's.  

Hi guys,   I bought Sennheiser HD650. Currently, my DAC / AMP is Fiio E10, but I want to upgrade. I was reading about Audio-GD, that they offer the best SQ - money ratio.   I was thinking about NFB-11.32 or Compass 2 with Sabre. Will NFB-11.32 drive my HD650 properly? And is there much of a...

Hey guys, i have ordered in my signature dj's and although they aren't here yet, i was thinking about getting a full size desktop amp to go with them. I have a 300$ budget, and currently the only amp i have heard of for this price is the schiit asgard 2. Are there any other amps in this price...

hi right now i have the he500 + Audio-GD NFB-11.32. But since the vali got released i kinda want to buy the modi+vali cuz it looks so sleek :P and i heard its good. so im wondering which one will be better for he500 ? modi+vali or 11.32 ?   and i will maybe sell my he500 and buy back a...

Any opinions on the comparison of the two for my HD650s?

Wondering which one to buy for he500 ?   im betweem Audio-GD NFB-11.32 and Magni/Modi...   or should i buy other ? whats good at the same price class ?   i kinda like the sexyness on magni/modi and its small...   but heard Audio-GD NFB-11.32 is awsome for he500, but its kinda big...

Please delete thread. Thanks.

Wasn't sure what to call it but:   I am sure many of us have desktop speakers as well as headphones so how do you switch between the two?  For example, with the Schiit Modi, I have to manually switch out the RCA cables. Any way or thing that makes this process easier? Obviously it has to be...

Hello fellow Head-Fi'ers,   I'm currently sporting an Audio GD Compass and am looking to upgrade.  I have a pair of Denon D2000.  I love the sound of the Compass with them, however I'm looking to upgrade the DAC.  I was thinking of doing the setup in the title.  Basically my question is...

I currently have Audioengine D1and like to try other DAC + Headphone AMP.  I mostly listen Jazz and Classical music.  Which of Audio-GD should I get for my music genre between NFB 11.32 and NFB 15.32?

Hey guys. My post in the recommendation thread seems not to get the attention I want to give it another try here. Currently I enjoy my new modded T50rp for portable use, but I'm going to buy a HD600/HD650 or DT880 600ohm pretty soon. Also own a Shure SE530 and Sony MDR 1000ex. At the moment I do...

So I've been powering my HiFiman HE-400's off of a FiiO e7 Amp/Dac, and it really isn't powering it as fully as it can. What are some good ~$200 DAC/AMP combos that can power the HiFiman HE-400's?

Guys,    Im going for the Sennheiser HD 600 or 650's headphones. Now i am looking for a nice DAC/Amp combination to go with it!   I did some research and set up a list of potentials.   Audio GD NFB-12.1                                                                                  ...

did somebody compare both ?

Hi, everybody,   I am very new to digital music, and current solution is BenQ laptop + Fiio E10 + HD598 & ATH M30. So far the sound is acceptable, but I am looking for a DAC which can make the sound much better than from E10.   My requirements and budget are following: Budget is < US$...

Hey all, new to the forums and high-end headphones.  I recently upgraded to my current audio setup in August and September.  Did a lot of reading on here before I decided on the A1 for my amp.  The Beyers were pretty much decided on from the start, just read so many good things about them.  I've...

Hi guys,   I have listened to loads of HiFi DACs that use the ESS Sabre chipset and I have always liked their signature. I was wondering if people knew any good headphone DAC/amps that also used that chip as might try a couple to see if they have the same signature with several pairs of...

Im in need of some opinions on whether I should spend:   Auddiolab M-DAC AUD949.00 and Meier Corda Classic AUD699.00 TOTAL AUD1648.00   Or   Burson HA160D TOTAL AUD1200.00     I asked the online shop what he suggested as an alternative to the Burson HA 160D and he said that...

Hey guy's, i'm looking for a good amp dac combo thats around $400. Thanks :D
