I'm using the NFB10.33 still - windows 11 complains about it a bit, I'll use it until it's not supported. Bought it in early 2016 so I'm on my 7th year with it, using LCD-X's. I don't think I can justify replacing it based on how great things sound, I'm sure I could get a couple percent better...

That explains why I couldn't find the Ether Electrostats..! I had actually forgotten about them for the most part while auditioning the heaps of Focal Elears/Utopias and Ether Flows. Although after hearing the Ether C Flow I'd need to be really impressed with the Ether Electrostat to even...

It's not obvious on the Audio-GD website but the 10.33 is 10% off (or was a month or two ago). You should send an email to Audio-GD for a quote.  

I haven't heard either the 11.32 or 15.32, I would guess that SQ is pretty good on any of these DAC/AMPs. The 11.32/15.32 seem to be much cheaper, although I'm not sure the 15.32 is actually available from Audio-GD anymore (don't see it on the products page). The 11.32 does have the Sabre DAC so...

    I agree, I've also wondered why there is less demand for this dac/amp. I know it's been around for awhile, but that shouldn't matter. It really is a great piece of equipment, I'm very happy with mine.   While I was looking for a dac/amp for my setup and was considering the Audio-GD...

Markus, I recently bought the NFB-10.33 and am really pleased with the power of the amp on the unit. I can tell you I've tried my alpha dogs with both the 1/4" and the balanced output and the balanced output is much more detailed and pronounced. I would assume you'd experience a similar...

I just bought a ticket. This will be my first meet, hoping to audition some nice headphones.

Same issue here... :(  Notice I learnt this after removing the default profile pic! Appreciate the help in advance.

I ended up buying this amp, I'm using Alpha Dog headphones. Very stellar sound, the amp is powerful so you get good range out of the headphones (lots of energy in low frequencies) although running the high gain output I rarely find the need to exceed 14 of 80 steps for the volume! 

After researching the different Audio-GD products I realized that rather than the 10ES3 (as you've noted is discontinued) or the successor NFB-28, I actually went ahead an ordered a 10.33. The dualwolfson chip sounds like it's more forgiving for bad quality content, which I have lots of (plus...

Has anyone tried the NFB-10.33 with MrSpeakers Alpha Dog headphones? Based on some of the previous commentary it seems that the 10.33 is a great amp for hard to drive cans, and I'm not sure the alpha dog is in that category, necessarily, so any feedback would be great!  

Hi Guys, I've been researching pretty hard on this site about amp/dac combos. I just bought one of the last pairs of the Alpha Dog headphones from MrSpeakers and got them with a balanced cable. I really like the new version of this amp, NFB-10ES3, it seems to have all the connections and glowing...
