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...- jzkpr

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...- jzkpr

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...- jzkpr

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

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...- jzkpr

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...- jzkpr

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.- jzkpr

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...- jzkpr

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.- jzkpr
