    Looking for service/work in NYC to upgrade USB board in an Audio-GD NFB2 DAC

    Hello all. Apologies if this is mis-filed in this forum. If so, do let me know where to move to.   I am looking for an audio repair/service center help in NYC to upgrade the USB board in my Audio-GD NFB2 DAC. I am new to the area and could use some advice on shops or folks people have used...

    Audio-GD NFB-2 & NFB-3 Delivery & Impression Thread

    The NFB-2 is two weeks in at this point. Up to this point, I was running toslink into my iMac. Just swapped to the USB for a quick test. Using "Zoo Station" by U2 (2011 brings the remaster - which is highly necessary), the reflective bass is clearly more punchy on the USB connection.   I...

    Audio-GD NFB-2 & NFB-3 Delivery & Impression Thread

    Burning in a new NFB-2 and C-2 at the moment. Im sure I have some time for change on this but for now, almost all wood instruments are dramatically more present and detailed.

    Audio-GD NFB-2 & NFB-3 Delivery & Impression Thread

    This is a great thread.   I just ordered an NFB-2 and have one of those USB vs. optical toslink questions.   I'll be outputting my iMac (ALAC files) into the NFB-2. My options are using a USB port or the toslink. I've been reading a bunch about people converting their usb to spdif rca...

    Sennheiser HD595 Impressions Thread

    Another thumbs up for the 595s. Been on a pair for over a year now. I must admit I have never used them without an amp, but as an entry pair of headphones, these are on the borderline to the next level up. I listen to almost nothing but rock, noise, and electronic music. They work well beyond...

    The Audio-gd Compass (Was: Designing an alternative to the Zero DAC/amp)

    For those wanting some perspective on size, here is my 13inch Macbook on top of the Compass.

    The Audio-gd Compass (Was: Designing an alternative to the Zero DAC/amp)

    A question for the the pro's on the Compass. My chain is as follows Apple Lossless>iTunes>iMac>USB>Compass Now, the file I am listening to at the moment is 96kHz/24bit. I was told that the Compass only supported up to 44/16 but this looks to not be the case? BTW: it's a rip from a...

    The Audio-gd Compass (Was: Designing an alternative to the Zero DAC/amp)

    I guess I could not wait to open it. Looks great. New back panel is super clean. The input selector knob is still on a 4 click pot (no big deal). Delivered with the proper power cord for USA use. I also had a streak on the top lid but it wiped off with a cloth and a dab of water. Some...

    The Audio-gd Compass (Was: Designing an alternative to the Zero DAC/amp)

    It is noon in Boston and my Compass has been safely delivered to me. Shipped on Mon and here by noon on Wed. That's fast. Looks like customs did open it as I see "Security Checked" tape around the package. I did not have to pay any customs/import fee on the unit. I'll open in shortly.

    The Audio-gd Compass (Was: Designing an alternative to the Zero DAC/amp)

    I'm in Boston, MA and it looks like my Compass which was shipped on Monday is already on a DHL truck out for delivery to me. Pretty fast. For the record, I ordered mine March 10th.

    Pocketdock Line Out: How noisy is this thing?

    I have now tested it against 2 different ipod 20 4thgens and the startup whine and buzz is apparent on the first initial track and really only on good cans when the Go-Vibe is above 50% volume. Very annoying. Hard to determine if its the PD or the iPod at this time. If anyone else has...

    Pocketdock Line Out: How noisy is this thing?

    I think my experience is like that of JPR703's. I recall some discussion that some 4th gen models made more noise than others. I have a co-worker with another 4th gen iPod. I'll do some testing on it today.

    Pocketdock Line Out: How noisy is this thing?

    Hello all, Fairly new member. Long time lurker. Based on opinion and recommends from people on this forum, I went out and picked a PocketDock with Line Out for my 4th gen ipod, but havent been so happy with it. Beyond the whine/whirl of the iPod HD which is almost unavoidable on the...
