Audio GD NFB-11.28 vs R2R 11
I perceived a wider soundstage with the R2R, yes. Thats my appreciation. Not much of a difference i have to say. As of THD distortion i could hear very clearly passages of solo basslines distorting. The NFB with best THD levels and filtering does not exhibit this behaviour. Clear and detailed...- isoa4k

Audio GD NFB-11.28 vs R2R 11
I had the R2R11 and the NFB11.38 TcXo with 2018 LCD2. Although soundstage and overall organics of the sound was a bit better with the R2R11 i stayed with the 11.38. Best detail resolve and much better THD levels. No regrets.- isoa4k

Audio GD NFB-11.28 vs R2R 11
Hello everyone. I recently scored a NFB 11.38 TCXO and i'm quite very happy with it. Can someone inform me about the digital filter settings and how to set it for the best sound? I really dont know what each setting does. I have this options: Fast roll-off, Linear: Slow roll-off, Linear...- isoa4k

Audio GD NFB-11.28 vs R2R 11
I dont think its the amp section. I think is related to the THD of the R2R system plus no filtering. Where i hear distort with my R2R i dont hear it with my LG V20 Phone so i feel is DAC issue.- isoa4k

Audio GD NFB-11.28 vs R2R 11
Guys im thinking of swapping my R2R11 for a NFB-11.38 with the ESS9038Pro and TXCO built in. Am i doing something stupid? I like the R2R but i find it sometimes a bit dark and not very nice with THD distortion in some parts of my music, especially in isolated low frequency passages. My cans are...- isoa4k

Audio GD NFB-11.28 vs R2R 11
Would you get a 11.28 having already the R2R11? I like its sound but sometimes drives me nuts because it has distortion on some lower frequencies, like resonance. I feel it spoils my LCD2 sound...- isoa4k

Thanks for your reply. Its not DSD "noise" as i already experienced this issue with other DSD files. I hear it with my flac files or even mp3. Its like it generates high pitched distortion, like armonics that produce a rattling sound when bass is reproduced quietly or solo.- isoa4k

Audio GD NFB-11.28 vs R2R 11
Has anyone been able to overcome the distortion present in low frequencies? Is there something inherit to the R2R architecture? I listen to a lot of ambient and in quiet passages with deep basslines isolated i can totally hear distortion. Also in sound frequency checks below 200hz i can totally...- isoa4k

Audio GD NFB-11.28 vs R2R 11
Well in my case i experience this now. DSD up to 128 plays fine with DSD Asio driver on foobar2000. Up to 256 and 512 throws an error about unsupported rate. But if i change in the SACD plugin the output from DSD to PCM then i experience two things: first now my DSD256 and DSD512 plays fine but...- isoa4k
