Quote:   Yeah, I was confused about that discription as worded myself.  From what I understand my Asus P5B Deluxe WiFi AP mobo and Asus D2X soundcard COAX-OUTs are at best "Mid range" products. "already quite High-end" is Pro-Audio spec.  way above "consumer grade" that I have.  ...

Thanks for your post tarsik. As Incredible as your Mods are.. sadly they are waay beyond my skill level, as I just started soldering on interconnects. If I had the skills, I'd do the Mods in a heart-beat!   Quote: @acenes: "I first purchased the nfb12 , then the nfb11 with ver. A...

@zenki14:   The good thing about the DI is that altho it may cost a bit much to pair with a lower cost A-GD DAC.  I can enjoy it's superb SQ now, and it can migrate with me when I upgrade to a Higher end A-GD DAC in the future.   Yes the NFB-11 COAX is better sounding than both Toslink...

Hey Bros!  (NFB-11 owner)  :)   DI mentioned... I'll just leave this tidbit here..   If you have a COAX-out on your PC/MAC... Digital Interface ver.A  is a "Must Have"   USB->NFB-11=good USB->DI ver.A->COAX->NFB-11= noticably Better COAX->NFB-11=pretty good COAX->DI...

Hey AlexRoma,   Yes my NFB-11 is the USB version, mine has a Hosonic 80.000 clock on a riser. (there's a pic a few pages back) My Digital Interface has the TXCO upgrade clock, the recent testing was all done with no upsampling tho. To me.. USB to NFB-11= good USB to DI =...

Maybe this should be posted in the Digital Interface thread? but... it might help-out a new NFB-11 user get the best from it.   The other night my PC barfed on the TE7022 USB driver, and trying everything...I could not re-connect to my DI ver.A with USB ... I thought it was broked. :( ...

(I didn't know where to post these mods... here is as good as any?)   These are great cans modded! I find it disconcerting that I'm enjoying them more than my HD600 lately. :)   Re-cabled, they sound much better than stock...more bass definition, mids and highs were less harsh. I still...

Nice! I didn't know BRZ were still available, I think all B's should be the same grade tho. I hope you get your 797BRZ soldered-up before your trip, and that they synergise well with the 4032s. It'll be fun to test on your flight, 'tho passengers may see an inscrutable look on your face.. as...

  Small update: Full AD797's in D6 brings the battery life down to 10.5hrs of runtime, hungry little buggers they are! It's good enuff for my walkabouts and home-use, for longer "outings" it's great that rolling a more power conservative set of op-amps is soo easy with the clamshell case...

  It looks like I'm lucky I have not had the ticking/popping with my D6.   I've just installed Win7 ServicePack1... for the new USB Audio driver, and also did a USB polling tweak previously that may help? http://www.audioasylum.com/cgi/vt.mpl?f=pcaudio&m=78994  setting can enable/disable...

Quote: Hey dacavalcante, Sorry, I don't think I have a means of checking my mains voltage. I do have a multimeter... but it's probably not wise for me to stick the probes into a wall socket. :) The UPS idea is probably a good one to help condition mains power,(If that's the culprit) I...

I reset my DI to passthrough, powered it by regulated 6V 400mah, and found a WASAPI plug-in for MediaMonkey(w00p)!   I've been playing music for past 7hrs with no drop-outs at all. I can't believe how spacious, full and satisfying the music is. Increase in SQ is most likely due to the...

Quote: I just installed ServicePack1... and the USB audio driver is newer 11/19/2010. Is it better? I can't be sure.. but I'm being continually re-blown-away from the  sheer Awesomeness of the sound created by my DI-NFB11-MiniMax stack. :)   Yeah it's just a poor cropped/rotated pic...

Ahh.. you has an NFB-1. I had thought it was a typo for NFB-11... just slumming with the 11's then? haha j/k :)  Yowsa, 12 wires to be able to do the mod. That's some mighty fine soldering you did to upgrade your clock.. much skilled. Thanks for the TXCO info, sounds like you were involved...

Hey guys, dropout huh... let me check my pockets. :)   I don't remember getting any drop-outs with my NFB-11 alone, I've had a few with the Digital Interface tho. I've only been using the USB input on the DI, and using MediaMonkey for playback with either DS or Waveout. With DS I played...

Quote: Hey Jan, :)   For first few days I was using my Digital Interface ver.A in factory "passthru" mode to get acustomed to what it had to offer. I had ordered mine with the TCXO clock upgrade, it was factory soldered to the PCB for better sound quality.   I just jumpered it...

  I hope new NFB 11 owners are enjoying their shiney new DAC as much as I am....  thats alot btw. :)   I was looking for an upgrade for my '11, and was thinking maybe a fancy power cable, expensive interconnects etc. Well put those "upgrades" waaay-off, and start saving your Rubles...

  Hey sfmatt: My D6 gets warm during operation too, intrigued... I checked last night and the AD797 in Buffers were a little Hot, while the 797 in L/R were Warm to touch. Nothing concerning, just a wee suprised..  lots of Buff traffic I guess?   4 eh? yours must look like mine does...

Hey Jan,   I was only told there was a chip replaced, I thought it was the transformer... but it's the same one. lol    The MiniMax/12AE6 tubes, adds more body to the mids and bass, music sounds fuller with more impact/decay. The Headphone out sounds quite good too, with perhaps a more...

  I received my repaired NFB-11 about a week ago, and it's like getting my very best drug back! haha j/k I'm very happy to get my NFB back in time for my birthday today. Thanks to King Wa, and Edwin for taking care of me and my DAC. :)   I think having the NFB-11 with no "Fixed-out" as...

 Quote: Ah ok, I'd thought that your conflicting experience to mine with driving 600Ohm cans might have been due to the limited 5V of the USB port.  I had no issues while running off the higher 12.6V from the wall-wart/battery, and didn't want potential New D6 owners to have a wrong...

  Quote: Tesla T5's, Stepdance, D6.... you're the Travelmeister!  Like momma always said.. If your going to travel, travel in Style. :)   I like your taste too EX1000's! *sigh* can't afford that taste tho. Will be interesting what Topkit you're getting, be sure to post your...

  Quote: Hmm, when I used my DT990/600 with the D6... gain was on high and volume was maxed, and it did not distort the Beyers @all. That's what suprised me greatly about the D6, That was with the AD797B's, but stock wasn't that different for max volume output.   With HD600's...

Congrats on your D6!   ohhhhhh you have one o' them Stepdances do you? *drool* always wanted to try the "Legend" :) I agree about the designs or lack of... is why I have not bought a Meier amp.   A good thing about the D6 is the amp design looks to be quite robust, so rolling certain...

@jaechung253: I've never heard a D4 but I'm sure you'll love it! The D6 looks to be an evolution of the D4.. so the "DNA" should be quite close. what enjaygee said..  and welcome to team iBasso. :)   I don't know much else about it really, probably a better/futureproof implementation...
