My friend used to have a m-dac. He now has my old Master-7. For him, it's not comparable. The r2r-11 is not so far behind so you should like it if you value an analog sound, tonal accuracy and a flat response.

Dear FreadA,

You mean the M-Dac is better overall but the R2R 11 is more analog like so it might suit better someone's preference?

My system is very flat and transparent BTW.

No, what i mean't was the Master-7 has a clear edge over the m-dac. The r2r-11 is closer to it than the m-dac.

I own 1 NFB11.38 it sound great what is your question

You mean the new limited edition one?

It should be available in France next week, but only very few units (announced 100 units worldwide...)

Received my NFB-11.38!

I'm so not used to desktop dac/amp. By turning the volume dial just a little, its already quite loud. I can't even reach the 10-2 sweet spot!

What headphones are you using? Also what source are you feeding it with?

What headphones are you using? Also what source are you feeding it with?

I'm using the Meze 99 Classics. According to the site, it says:
"Sensitivity: 103dB at 1KHz, 1mW".
"Impedance: 32 Ohm".

Received my Massdrop plus not long ago, going to test it out soon.

Edit: Forgot to add. Via USB to my desktop. Running Foobar and 192 kHz Flacs.

 

[dlmorgan999]

Yeah - that's pretty sensitive. Maybe you can turn down the source volume? (like if you are feeding it from a PC, for example). Anyway - congratulations on the purchase! I thought about ordering one, but I've been buying too much stuff over the last month, so I'll have to pass on this. I'm quite happy with my R2R-11 though!

 

[tskeng]

Maybe you can turn down the source volume?

WHY have I not thought about that!?!?!

I'm such an idiot!

Update: Set the volume to 5% on my Foobar. Now I'm able to turn the dial to 10 o'clock. YES!
Update 2: So something chimed on my desktop. Its still at 100% loudness. Now my eardrums are blown off.

I think what you want to do is leave the Foobar volume at full and turn down the overall Windows volume (or whatever operating system you are using). I believe that when I first installed the Amanero drivers, the volume was set to 100 in Windows. I normally run it at around 70-80.

Run via asio and bypass windows mixer volume.

It doesn't do anything when I adjusted the Amanero sliders in Windows. (Windows 10 Ultimate).

Run via asio and bypass windows mixer volume.

I'll figure that out!

L or H gain?

L or H gain?

The Meze are so sensitive. Not surprised.
