Can you say that DACs based on Sabre ES9018 should be favoured over other configurations like WM8741 and PCM1704UK? I kinda keep reading over and over again that this Sabre chip is currently the best affordable DAC-chip.   Reason is, I've just ordered Audio GD DAC 5.2 and started reading...

Hello everyone....   With the sell of my DAC tomorrow night, I will have to make a choice faster than expected..... I need to choose between the NFB-8 or the NFB-7.....   I already own the REF-5 so I know about the Audio-GD products.....and I will also ask Kingwa for his thoughts...

I'm very interested in these dacs as I like the sound of the ES9018 chip as my previous source was an NFB-10ES.  I wonder how well those compete as they are similarly priced.  How do they sound and most importantly which one is implemented better?

Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting a set of AKG k701 and the Schiit Lyr to go along with it. I was wondering which DAC would go well with that combo?

Which of these is the best SQ for the money?

REVIEW: AUDIO-GD NFB-7 DAC   Intro:   I don't normally write reviews, always too many variables for a single review to be meaningful. My system,my ears,my tastes etc. etc. A review, in isolation, can never be taken literally as the 'truth', that's why I always give more weight to...

Hey there, since I got my NFB 12.1 it looks like it prevents my Windows 7 x64 Prof. from going to sleep or shutting down. If I use windows the whole day without powering on the NFB 12.1 then sleep/shut down works fine. As soon as I once power the NFB 12.1 on (even if I power it off afterwards)...

Hello All,   I'm starting this post because for the past two months I have been scouring these forums for the best dac for my setup. I currently am using the Schiit Bifrost coupled with the Woo Audio WA2. I listen to three different headphones right now, Beyer T1's, DT 990s 600ohm, and the...

Along with seemingly everything else, there's an abundance of new mid-fi DACs coming out of the woodwork lately trying to challenge the next tier up.   Some of the models that have been catching our eyes lately:   Yulong D-18, D-8 (1) Shiit Gungnir (5) Woo WDS-1 (1) Wyred4Sound...

Is there any difference between the NFB-10WM and the NFB-10ES other than the chips in them? Both are apparently being sold on the site but I believe the ES is $100 more expensive, at $880? Can some one please fill me in? Is there a true character difference, is this crappy marketing, or what?

Hi,   I need some advice, My rig is as follows:   Mac mini > Audio GD NFB 7 DAC  > Audio GD Master 1 pre amp > Audio GD Master 2 mono blocks > PSB Synchrony One Speakers.   I listen to Rock & Electronic music. I also have a bedroom hi fi setup which uses a Tube Amp. I prefer the sound of...
