Great communication and fast shipping, highly recommended seller!

For people with hume/whine/dropouts, have you checked out your 'wifi neighbourhood' to see how crowded it is? If you have an Android device, it's very simple to do so with this app:   https://market.android.com/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer     Don't think there's anything like...

Thanks for your replies everyone! It's helpful to have that information when talking to the seller and local agent. The more satisfied customers I can point to, the more power I have when talking to them I think. So if there are any more owners around, please tell me about your experiences with...

*sigh*   Tried putting some resistors on the headphone output (idea from here: http://www.highfidelity.pl/@main-135&lang=en ) and it did help with my LCD-2 (but not the HD600), but instead of the buzz, I got massive distortions on loud levels :/   So... still no real progress, it's now...

Two new (well, old, and not in great shape) set of tubes arrived, and I have exactly the same problems with them :(   Still a constant annoying hum in right channel, and a hiss that is affected by the volume (feels pretty much like a hiss I should get if I connected a pair or really...

Quote: Quote:   The previous owner will send me a set that I think is more or less new, hopefully that will improve things. Don't really want to spend hundreds of dollars on tubes until I know the Leben is working as it should.   I'll return with more information when I've...

Quote:   The amp was supposedly serviced about a year ago, don't really want to send it off to service when I just got it... I'd rather return it to the seller in that case :/   Hehe, yeah, the sound improved with just the Compass as dac, I'm hoping a proper one will do a lot...

Finally got my hands on a CS300. First impressions were... not great to be honest. Really thin sound. The fact that I have no proper source and had to go straight from the computer (with a ESI Juli@ soundcard, but still) might have something to do with that though. :) Brought home the...

Quote: Ah, yeah, exactly... if there is no difference in sound between 5/10SE as a DAC (not balanced), the price for the remote would be $200 for me.. a bit steep I think. If the DAC is much better in the 10SE (in SE mode) than the 5 though, it's another matter altogether.   No, not...

I'm in need of a new DAC since I just sold my old one, but I haven't decided on what to get yet, and the ones I'm considering right now haven't been released or there is a long wait for one.   So, I'm considering getting either a NFB-5 or NFB-10SE and use it as a DAC at home for now, and...

Quote: Ah, yeah, I did see that.. but they should have an idea of how long the process will take and be able to make an estimate (2 months? 6 months? 12 months?) IMHO. Or at least, that's what I was hoping for :)  

Has anyone heard about a release date for the updated version of the D1? I've tried contacting them about it but haven't received a reply yet... they might not know themselves when they will be ready, but in that case they could just say that it won't be available this year, that much they...

I wasn't sure I was going to reply to this, but since I couldn't resist last time, why even bother to try this time? :P   First of all, none of those devices are actually a DAC, and that includes the Oppo... In my opinion (and I don't know if the rest of the world agrees, but who cares? :)...

Quote: It's pretty amazing how every DAC is better than DAC:s that cost several times as much... Those expensive DACs must be pretty damn bad, I wonder why anyone buys them in the first place when every DAC under $1000 is better?   Oppo BDP-95 the best DAC under 2000? Under _5000_...
