I have been experimenting with different combinations. It seemed that it played some dsd/dff files OK but not others.   Successful one: 2L Ref Recording (DFF), HDDT Tchaikovsky Piano 1 (DSF) Unsuccessful one: Zinaida Oganova(DSD128)   I have no clues as to why things are.

I have problem playing DSD128 using Jplaymini. Anybody playing DSD128 successfully? with which player?   Cheers.

NFB1 plays only DSD64 and DSD128 well. Had some issues with DSD256 files at the moment. Continuous pops.

Managed to get Jplay Extream engine to work with KS Audio-GD to play both PCM and DSD materials. Buffer settings are as followed:   Buffer - 128 96Buffer - 256 192Buffer - 512   With these settings, KS Audio-GD works both on Jplaymini and also under Jriver with Jplay ASIO as the device...

With my new NFB1 and the USB32 deriver version 1, I only managed to get it to work with Audio-GD WASAPI under Jplay, with about 4 buffers. SQ is good. No DSD, only PCM materials.  But Audio-GD KS it gave me no sound at all. Don't know where the problem is.   Anyone with better experience?

I received my NFB1 today. The USB driver installed fine. Playing it is a mixed bag.   Using the driver on its own is OK. I had KS Audio-gd as a device under Jriver, both PCM and DSD play OK. No pops!   But only WASAPI Audio-gd works with Jplay for streaming of PCM materials only under...

Thanks for the confirmation.

Can somebody confirm the current USB-32 driver works in Windows 2012 R2 environment? I am eyeing the NFB1 but not sure it will work in my Audiophile Optimized environment under Windows 2012 R2.   Thanks. 

Need a heads-up here:   Has any body tried the USB-32 driver on a Windows 2012 Server? Does it work?   I am also looking at the NFB-1 2015. But not sure if it will work with Windows 2012 Server.   Thanks.

Quote: I have used hte software exclusively for about 2 months now and I think it is the winner (so far) in PC environment.   The biigest difference compared to other is the dark silence of the background making the music standout.     Worth a trial if you haven't   M Tan.

More so on the DAF19DF. But on playing HRx files (24/176.4) on NFB-3, I had BSODs.   In the end, I think USB is simply not worth the troubles. I just use SPDIF (RCA and Toslink) output from Juli@ and Musiland.     Cheers.

On Windows 7, my DAC19DF is a "USB DAC", the NFB-3 is a "TE7022".   I had many BSODs using USB connections, especially in playing 24/96 files. I have given up USB connections and just use SPDIF and optical via a Juli@ soundcard.   After listening to both the DAC19DF and the NFB-3, I...

Quote:   Hi Currawong   I just discovered this planned meeting. Fantastic news. I will be joining.   I have a DAC19DF.  

Hi HeatFan12   What do you use to bridge between your computer and your DAC? NFB-2 and -3 supports upto 24/192. Just wondering what device can pump 32/192 data across.   Cheers.

I am running Vista Home Premium with a dual core 2.4GHz CPU and 2G of RAM.

I bought the DF version 2 weeks ago. And noticed that playing MediaMonkey with either ASIO or KS driver will result in pops between tracks. Playing Foobar with WASAPI is OK. Any of you guys have the same problem? Cheers.

I just had this problem recently. If I use MM with KS driver, there were pops between tracks. The same with ASIO. But there were no pops between tracks if I use WASAPI with Foobar. What is the theorey? Cheers.

I used to own the LD Mk III in addition to the STX and HD650. I found the STX pretty powerful in driving the HD. I sold the LD.

I have an XP desktop with Foobar and MM as the music server . Surpringly music often stop for 2-3 seconds before resuming. Sometimes longer. While the music stopped, I can see the disk LED coming on. I really don't understand what could have caused disk bottleneck. There is no other program...

I managed to upgrade my USD successfully. The new interface has more info than the previous one. Here is the process: 1. Disconnect Monitor from system 2. Uninstall your old driver 3. Install 1.0.5 4. Restart 5. Reconnect your USD/US 6. You will get Invalid License. Download the...

I have similar consideration. I am thinking of the Audio-gd's DAC19Mk3. But it only does 24/96. I believe we are going to see more 24/192 in the future. Cheers.
