Gold jack problem
Thanks for the reply. My guess is that with some maintenance i won't go into trouble. For now i've just plugged it into a 6.3 inch adapter and twist the adapter till i get it shiny. In time if this won't do the job i'll use contact preserver solution. The headphone cable is a Y type so equal...- Heprer

Gold jack problem
I recently got a problem with my grado sr60i. The 3.5 inch gold plated jack has just lost it's gold... the tip of the jack (left channel) began to exfoliate, i assume bad plating. My problem now is with the brass, it's going to oxidize and lower the audio quality or it'll be ok and i won't be...- Heprer

Audio-GD NFB-11.32 & NFB-11 (2014) (Delivery & Impression Thread)!!!
No doubt about it. Ah the more i look at nfb11.28 the more it seems like a gem. I'm strongly thinking this year to upgrade from my 11.32(2014 ver).- Heprer

Nice find, thanks! I was basing my statement via their homepage 9018 and 9028 in the latter they didn't specify if it is mono 129db or as i see now 8ch. I was mislead thinking that, like most advertising they would put the absolute max. But the most interesting part is that 9038 is pin...- Heprer

Noob question: Isn't es9028 a downgrade from 9018 as dynamic range goes? (135db vs 129db) I guess the implementation plays a role and maybe doesn't squeeze the utmost performance from the chip but still... Also i see jumpers and tons of settings: warm sound flavor, digital filter setting for dsd...- Heprer

Go for nfb11 it supports native DSD so it's a big plus against o2, on schit the cheapest is magni/modi + loki + interconect cables... I have sennheiser hd 600 paired with nfb 11 and i'm happy with the sound. It's neutral with solid bass( no "muddy waters") and pleasant silk hights (first there...- Heprer

I could use via asio in ver 1 with no prob, now in ver 2 asio works the same only that it is set with 15ms instead of 10ms which lowers the possibility of getting artifacts. And one more thing now in the new driver the asio doesn't disappear if you delete the installer...- Heprer

I don't have IFI iDSD Micro but from what i can see its a portable amp/dac unit, so you have the battery to consider. The Micro can play DSD up to 512 vs nfb11 DSD128 The dac chips differ nfb has Sabre ES9018( which is a pretty neutral dac chip) the micro has two Burr Brown chips(i didn't...- Heprer

Coax vs usb to my ears is like this: -with a blank wav file there was noise from 3pm to max 5 pm( if you see the potentiometer like a clock) where 5 pm is max. headphones used sennheiser hd 600, while on more sensitive grado sr60i the noise begins from 1 pm.

I had today one rca-rca coax cable to make some comparations between usb and spdif. I've used asio4all(in settings i could select spdif out). At Tools>SACD>PCM sample rate i couldn't use more than 88200 if i remember well, anyway on max it didn't work out. And of course at output asio4all...- Heprer

Argh I feel like i'm gonna go on a "this is Sparta" rampage with my unit. So to sum it all up there is no solution firmware or software to the annoying pops. The only solution is to cut some wire inside with the loss of DSD playback or the 2015 version switch. Does anyone experience pops with...- Heprer

Audio-gd USB-32 Firmware, Drivers, and Feedback Thread
After installation you have a via asio shortcut on desktop, does it work or it gives you "enumerate filter failed"? (you need to have the unit connected to pc) If it works, then i don't know reinstall foobar, maybe it is something wrong with it.- Heprer

HD 201 Velour Pad Mod=Squeeze the value out of those $20 headphones
Yea you are right about that, they have given me trouble putting them on. The pads don't snap right on it, eventually i've managed to slide them under the plastic holders. They fit and that's what matters. And my bad, now i've read again your post and wander how the heck did i misunderstood it.- Heprer

HD 201 Velour Pad Mod=Squeeze the value out of those $20 headphones
Just my0.02$: "The pads are a tight fit - a very tight fit" When i've changed the pads my hd201 were already 4 yr old, but as far as i remember i've never had any issues with clamping force more so because the 534440 pads have more padding, now it "hugs" my head just about right. "they...- Heprer

Hi i've also changed the pads with sennheiser pads from 419/439 part number 534440. What's to it: + they are now more comfortable the ear doesn't touch the plastic, the ear doesn't sweat that much + they seal better the outside noise + they create a better sound pressure thus the sound is a...- Heprer

Yea i was betting on that, but i don't get it why does the relays need to act when pausing music, and i guess when changing tracks too. I'm not a tech guy but i think its pointless, at least in my sound card it makes sense, it acts when changing outputs between headphones amp and speakers so...- Heprer

The relay sound, is it heard in headphones too? or is it heard just in the unit? I have a asus xonar dg si witch has relays that act when changing from headphones to speakers output, and i hear it just in soundcard(nec relay), the headphones doesn't transmit any sound.- Heprer
