Oh yes you're right, and I got excited for a moment there. Shoot I wish it were.

Look for Ted Smith & Direct Stream if you want to go down the rabbit hole :)

Wow that right there reads like an fpga DAC. I.e. no off the shelf DAC chip; all software/fpga based. Similar to PS audio direct stream. It says Amanero USB interface without 22 and 24m clocks, and then data is processed by fpga. Very exciting if that's correct.

So any luck here? Hoping so.

I hope it works out for you. I recently needed to service my 28.38. I asked to perform the repair myself in order to avoid shipping. I would consider my request unusual, and risky, but Kingwa obliged. He spent some time to troubleshoot, propose a root cause to the problem, and sent parts & tools...

Good thing I nabbed one of those suckers in silver. I too think it looks way nicer

Ok mine shipped now. I must have been soon after #6.

28.38 TXH over xlr & frequency response charts added too http://audio-gd.com/Pro/Headphoneamp/NFB28.38/NFB28.38EN_Specs.htm

Not mine. Womp.

Good to hear. I guess they made the .38 available a week-ish ago? I was on vacation...

Anyone who bought a .38 hear any news from Kingwa? Patiently awaiting some update on mine.

Ordered the nfb-28.38, in silver no less. First 30 get a 5% discount - mentioned earlier that new models have a promo price but not sure if details were posted yet. I only learned of the discount upon emailing for a quote.

Maybe I am rare breed loving both the 507s & D5000s. What turned you off about the HE-400s?

^ haha I am trying to imagine how much you hate the 507s. Well, yeah - they are completely different. If you press me for a black and white answer, I like the 507s in nearly every way over the D5000s. That's misleading all by itself. Truth is, I probably need both depending on what mood I am...

I like my SR-507s more than the D5000s, but still appreciate the bass slam; I was hoping to find a happy medium in planar magnetics. Ultimately who knows. I am a happy risk taker.
