    Darkvoice 336i & 336SE Tuberolling PartII

    Hi Guys, any suggestions? I got a PM, with someone offering to sell me tubes, with no mention of what the tubes were. However, I'm looking for recommendations and folks to weigh in on what might achieve what I'm after (on the board, not solicitations please) Really appreciate your feedback. I...

    Hi, I am listing my Dynahi amp I built from Kevin Gillmore's design and hit. All the resisters are vishay 1% and matched transistors, stepped attenuator, Kimber cable wiring, etc; I paid a lot of attention to component quality when building it. I created a custom torriadal shield to ensure no...

    Review by 'SilverCans' on item 'Boltune BT-BH011 Noise Cancelling Headphones'

    Excellent sounding headphone, best sub $100 I've ever heard. Clear, punchy, tight sound, with lovely mids, and detailed highs without any harshness Summary of main review: Without getting into too much details with respect to sound quality my preferences are as follows: Sony 100MX3 > Boltune...

    Boltune BT-BH011 Noise Cancelling Headphones

    Boltune BT-BH011 ANC Headphones As mentioned in my last review, noise cancelling headphones are becoming very popular. Arguably, the undisputed kings in noise cancelling arena are the Sony MX-1000X3 and the Bose QC35II; both of which I am intimately familiar with. While I found the...

    Review by 'SilverCans' on item 'Boltune BH010 ANC Headphones'

    TLDR: Let me cut to the chase, you often get what you pay for and with ANC headphones that's pretty true. Without getting into too much detail the H10 and Apollo 1 were terrible. 7Bs were good (really great ANC), and the Sony's, avg sounding (terrible ANC). For the cost, the Boltunes impressed...

    Boltune BH010 ANC Headphones

    Boltune BH010 ANC Headphones Lately ANC bluetooth headphones have become all the rage. Take a look at all the offerings on Amazon or reviews on Youtube and you will see what I'm talking about. Even in the "high end" space Sony entered the market to challenge Bose, who cornered the market with...

    New Audio-gd R-7, R-7HE R-8, R-27, R-27HE, R-28 Flagship Resistor Ladder DACs and DAC/amps

    Yes Fred, you are one of the 3 owners and honestly the only main commenter on this item. It's been out 6 months. That says something when no reviews are flying off the news stand. You should not comment on Yaggi given your admission to never hearing one, this isn't an insult.

    Audio-Gd Master 7 - Discrete Fully Balanced DAC (PCM1704)

    HE was always A-GD's regenerative psu series. You could order their top dac as HE in the past, typically in a 2 box solution.   Question is, how does it improve the Master 7 sound. Kingwa please tell us :)

    Audio-Gd Master 7 - Discrete Fully Balanced DAC (PCM1704)

    http://www.audio-gd.com/HE/HE-7/HE7CH.htm   Looks interesting. Wonder how does it effect the sound? How does it effect the bass texture and detail. I asked Kingwa but just got a link.     Also, what is currently being developed. I don't want to spend $3200 on the HE-7 only to find out that...

    Audio-Gd Master 7 - Discrete Fully Balanced DAC (PCM1704)

    Got ya. Thanks. Trying to read all 158 pages of this thread :/. M7 is a sizable purchase and debating between DirectStream or even the NFB7. If I go A-GD I may even go HE option (power generator from Kingwa if he still offers it)   Quick question. JCAT or PPA into a OR5/6 worth it? If so which...

      Quote: Looking fwd to the review.       Hi Slackman,   Have you considered Audio-GD's NFB7.1 based on the Saber32, the previous version got rave reviews and this one has even better output stage.     http://www.audio-gd.com/Pro/dac/NFB7/NFB7EN.htm

    New Audio-gd NFB-8 (WM)

    Quote:     I've read that a while back, thanks for the link though. I will say this, Kingwa told me specifically he prefers the Wolfson over the ESS and thought the ESS was too bright. Now here's the thing, no one who has owned the NFB7 has said it sounds too bright/analytical (not even...

    New Audio-gd NFB-8 (WM)

    Judging from comments from Kingwa and the fact he discontinued the NFB-1ES, leaving only the NBF7, it appears he does not like the ESS sound signature. Given that, and the fact the he's always made a separate "musical" line, it implies his preference favors warmth. This worries me to some extent...

    Problem/disappointment with AUdio GD NFB-12 vs Audinst MX1

    So you are connecting this only via USB? Well hate to break it to you, the usb implimentation on AGD dacs leaves a lot to be desired. That's why they have the DI which kicks the crap out of the built in USB on their dacs. Try coax and tell us what you think then!

    Audio_GD NFB-2 Has No Soundstage

    Make sure the phase of the rca wires in the dac are correct. One member once reported that one channel was out of phase which can cause cancellations and therefore lack of soundstage

    Hearing Impaired person needs a new sound system with less Bass!

    For a full system invest in a decent graphic equalizer (can even be used in your headphone rig). If you don't want to do that and want a headphone setup get some Sennheiser HD280pro or AKG K701, they are both fairly bass light

    Review: Anedio D1 DAC - my new reference DAC

    ^^ True but everything was relative. The Minmax which does have a solid state output (opamps) we highly regarded. If anything, the Anedio being very detailed should have brought more life to a tube based / less revealing system

    Audio-GD Reference 7 - the new flagship DAC

    most likely if it's faulty he will send you parts to replace, it's just a push button, else he will indeed pay for shipping but I doubt it will get to that. This is per their policy, I've never had to return or repair anything I've bought from them. Best of luck, I hope you get it resolved

    Audio-gd Digital Interface

    I use Win7 WASPI driver, is that as good as it gets?   Also, in Foobar it asks how many bits to set the output too, 16 or 24bits, which do you choose? I ask because if a song is native 16bit, what happens when the setting is 24bit (and dithering is off)?
