I have it hooked up with the USB, drivers installed.  Balance adjustment is fine, etc.   Anyone have any idea what might be wrong?

I'm looking for a good DAC to be paired with the T1 I have on the way. The e17 is great and all but I feel the T1 is deserving of a bit better.   The DAC should be - under 200 (new or used) -Compatible with usb input and 3.5mm output (will use a 3.5mm to RCA cable to hook to the E09k...

Under $300, is there another desktop headphone amp with more power and overall versatility than the NFB 15.1?   I don't own the NFB15.1, but I'm looking at buying one. Ideally, I'd like a DAC/Amp combo under $300 that will have plenty of power to drive any dynamic headphone I throw at it...

Well, I figure I will start this thread in reference to the TE8802 chip on various Audio-GD devices. The TE8802 supports full speed Asynchronous Transfer Mode up to 24/192KHz (usb).   I have two devices with this chip and have to say I have had no problems at all with installation, media...

I was thinking of getting the Valhalla amp as I heard it was one of the best at this price range, but I need a DAC as well. Considering my budget is quite tight, what would be better, the Valhalla with a budget DAC like the FiiO E10 or a different combination/2-in-1?

Hi, I'm new here...    Im exhausted, and have studied until I finally give up, and am "Finally" asking for help, and Im all ears  The subject matter here will sadly have to be read to know how high quality Im willing to go, but this is a subject to determine what is always confused in the...

I did not see a dedicated thread for the NFB-15.1 and since A-GD is pumping out new products all the time, it would be easier to keep up, so why not.   Took delivery of this little black box bad boy about two weeks ago.  An all-in-one solution (discrete DAC + headphone amp + pre-amp). ...

I currently only have a fiio e10 that i purchased as a placeholder, now that i've got some extra cash to spare, i can finally upgrade to a nice amp that these headphones deserve. my spending limit is around 3-400$, i mainly listen to electro (justice/daft punk/danger/the xx etc) and metal (a day...

Hello everybody ::- ).   The NuForce Icon HDP is within my price range for my first headphones DAC+Amp.   I've heard good things about it here on this Forum. Has the situation remained the same?   Would you recommend something more expensive? Note that I don't want 2 separate...

Hey guys so I was looking to replace the Fiio E11 with a better amp. I think it is a great amp but there are a few things Id like improved with a better amp:   1) Better instrument separation (not necessarily wider soundstage but it would be a good benefit and might be necessary) 2) Better...

Hi,   What are the current players in the solid state desktop amp market? It seemed like before there were more SS choices. Besides the Schiit Asgard ($250), what other choices are there?   How does the Asgard rank compared the M^3, PPA, PPA2, Beta 22, etc?   Thanks.

I'm considering purchasing this as I want to move away from tubes, I just don't like tubes anymore. Blasphemy...I know.   I'm using the audio-gd NFB-12 now and was hoping to get some feedback from users with this combo or maybe just users with the NFB-6. I've ready one review on here but I'd...

Hi Guys   I've had to dig my headphones out again since moving from a detached house to a flat and well they just aren't cutting it compared to my last speaker set up.   My current rig is Foobar/FLAC -> Emu 0404 USB -> Modded HeedCanamp -> Grado RS-2s but the combo just isn't making me...

Hello, I have NFB12.1 with Tenor 7022 chip connected through USB, and I am considering a little bit upgrade in sound quality. The headphones will be SRH1440. The monitors are M-audio Bx5a deluxe.   I am considering these options as upgrades:   a) sell NFB12.1 and buy NFB15.2 with Tenor...

I'm using Grado SR325is. I own the NuForce Icon HD, but from some of my recent research it seems the HD's ~250 mW output at 32 Ohms might not exactly take full advantage of the SR325is. Would the HD / Schiit Asgard be a competent combo for SR325is? Or should I ditch the HD and Asgard idea...

Hello,   I am currently using V-Dac and V-Can for home listening. I am looking for a desktop dac/amp unit that is close or on par or maybe better than my current setup for 300$. I will be using one of them in the office. Currently using o/b sound card of my laptop. Even though my headphones...

Hey guys; it feels great to be back on the forums!   I'm now in the market to upgrade my computer audio. Since I already have some decent headphones, I'd now like to upgrade my computer audio hardware.   It can be desktop or portable, either is fine. I'd like a DAC/amp combo or two...

I was looking into purchasing the Hifiman HE-500 and Schiit Lyr. I already own a Sennheiser HD598 and NuForce uDAC2. Is the uDac-2 a good enough DAC for my headphone and combination or should I be looking into purchasing something higher end?

hi guys is this my very first post on head if and i would like to get some solid response to help decide with which combo to go.  Well currently I'm starting this build with zero nothing.zip.  I need headphone, amp, dac, maybe some balanced cable if i choose that route.  I'm located in Hong Kong...

Hey guys. I am wondering what your thoughts are on the Audio-GD NFB 15.32 vs Matrix M-Stage with HRT Music Streamer II? I am looking for the overall best sound quality. I am perfectly fine with having an all-in-one system like the NFB 15.32 or a separate stack like the M-Stage/HRT so I do not...

Hi,   After a smaller eternity lurking around here I finally took the step and created an account and now, my first post. I’ve been looking to upgrade my sound system, and I’m having some issues deciding which products to go for. What I need is a Dac/Amp and a pair of headphones.   But...

I'm having allot of trouble deciding between these 2.   I want to use it with the HD600.   Which one is better?

I'm looking for a all in one USB/DAC/Amp solution for my HE-500. So far as options I know of the o2+odac combo and NFB-15.32. I don't need the coax/optical,etc the NFB has and I heard mixed things about Audio GD. The o2+odac looks good. Anyone have any opinions or other suggestions?
