I purchased my DI-2014 around Christmas and after burn-in just put it into my main HiFi. And I must say that I am very impressed. I also did the upgrade of my M7 to I2S so that is how I connect the DI-2014 to the M7. My primary test was to use the optical input (via PC with WiFi to an Aiport...

Thank you for the excellent review. I have been thinking about purchasing the DI-2014 for some time now to go with my M7 but keep having second thoughts about more expensive options like the Berkeley. So it got me wondering: does it make any sense / is there any experience with using multiple...

I have been thinking about getting an Audio-gd DI-2014 but am a bit worried after this latest comment that this unit is not in the same class as units like the Berkeley Alpha USB. So I have to ask, while it may not be as good as Berkeley does the DI-2014 at least improve the sound of Master 7...

First, I would like to thank everyone who contributed to this thread.  As a result of all of the terrific comments I decided to take the plunge and ordered a Master 7 yesterday!   I know this site is primarily for headphone users, but I also plan on trying the Master 7 in my main HiFi rig.  In...

Mataugust: I would be interested in hearing further about how you find the NFB-6 compared to the Little Mk IV SE.  A friend loaned me his LD Mk IV over Christmas and I really enjoyed it.  But a few weeks later I purchased the NFB-6 and I find I really enjoy it as well.  However, I never had the...

Lorspeaker, funny you should ask!  After my very enjoyable week with the Little Dot Mk IV SE, the very next thing I investigated was the LD Mk 6 and 8.  They were balanced, much beefier than the Mk 4 but still looked really sexy with those tubes!  But as I looked at the various models, I came...

Andolink, I would like to thank you for starting this link.  Like you, I am new to headphone listening although I have been obsessed about HiFi for a number of years.  I read Frank I's review of the NFB-6 and was also put off about buying an NFB-6.  But the positive comments on your link made me...

Andolink: Anda is correct in that I have the Ref 5.32 standalone DAC.  As I mentioned in my last post, I really like this unit and think it sounds better than my old (second hand) Mark Levinson 360S DAC which was very highly regarded around 15 years ago.  Regarding the sound of the NFB-6 amp...

For my source components I am using a PC with iTunes with lossless files, connected via a standard (i.e. cheap) USB cable to an Audio-gd Reference 5.32 DAC, which is connected to the NFB-6 via an Audio-gd ACSS cable.  Do you have any recommendations for upgrades in this path?  I was thinking of...

Well, I am over 250 hours of burn-in on the NFB-6 now so I suspect the sound will not be changing a whole lot more.  I still find the sound a real delight: solid foundation, musical throughout the range, oodles of head room: it never feels like it is being pushed.  I have also just received my...

I am new to this site as well as headphone listening in a serious way.  But this thread was one of the things that convinced me to go and purchase the Audio-gd NFB-6.  I currently use unbalanced AKG701 headphones but will soon use a balanced HE-500.  So when I saw a balanced amp at this price it...
