For my incoming NFB-15, I will be using roughly 1m RCA speaker cables from the DAC to active studio monitors. I will also be using the included USB to connect to my PC for audio. For headphones, I will be listening to music, playing games, and watching films on my PC with the AKG K7XX, AKG K550...

Rather frustratingly, I am reposting this as for some reason my initial post did not upload. Maybe the moderators have it set it so that any "vs" threads are disallowed.   I recently broke my AKG K550's. Whilst I am hoping to replace/repair the 3.5mm jack, I thought now would be an opportune...

The Massdrop for the AKG K7XX is ending shortly and I wanted to ask the community a few questions.   As a prerequisite, I broke my AKG K550's. The 3.5mm jack is broken. I will be trying to repair them, but for now I thought I'd upgrade, something I had always intended on doing anyway. I will...

So I'm looking at the Audio-GD NFB-15 for a DAC/amp combo and a pair of active monitors such as the Adam A5X or Yamaha HS7's, amongst others. But am I looking at the wrong type of speakers?   I would like to upgrade from my old M-Audio AV40's and replace the inbuilt audio of my motherboard...

I'm looking to upgrade my speakers and DAC for my desktop setup as the onboard audio from my new motherboard is not as clean as I had hoped. I don't want to use an internal soundcard as it may reduce airflow to my graphics card. I have a large desk now, finally, and have a great deal more room...

I chiefly listen to music on my PC. I use powered speakers most of the time, which are M-audio AV-40's, and headphones the rest of the time. My headphones are AKG K550's and Sony MDR-1R's. I am currently running the audio through the inbuilt codec on my MSI Gaming 7 motherboard. It's a high-end...

I have a pair of M-Audio AV-40's that, albeit not great, do the job fine for the moment. I also have a pair of AKG K550's that I'm pleased with, however I'll be picking up a few other pairs to compare in the future, none of which will be hard to drive, I hope. I'll probably upgrade the M-Audio's...
