Audio-GD NFB-11.32 & NFB-11 (2014) (Delivery & Impression Thread)!!!

[JaMo]

Hi Creyo,

No it is not just a preference. If You are using good headphones, You can definately spot the difference. I think when You buy a competent dac, it is a bad idea to "hold back" the performance by 20 USD.

So the ideal would be to ask the Amanero and the ES9028?

By default the NFB11.28(since June 2017) comes with Amanero and ES9028. Therefore, just say one order of "NFB11.28 with TCXO upgrade"


Anyway, it looks like the discount is gone

My NFB is with DHL, they called to see if can deliver, i gonna take some time off work and reach home delivery to collect it. Super excited.

Nice man! Let us know how the HD6XX pairs with the NFB11.
Curious to find out on how much of an upgrade it is when compared with the E10K or any other amp/dac you may have.

I believe the NFB will outshine the E10K, the output power is much more powerful and i have read alot on hd650 scaling with more and better power.
I can give you my impressions in a week time but I am stoked for its arrival now.

But on the website it says that the ES9028 is the superior version, so much so that if you pay $ 20 more, or will I read it wrong?

The NFB-11.28 by default already comes with the ES9028 and Amenero USB. The only upgrade option available is TXCO which cost $20...

So the ideal would be to keep the Amareno and ask for the TCXO ?

 

[Renato Fury]

If I want to connect speakers or an external amplifier to the DAC RCA outputs do I need to open the top and change some component or just plug and change the switch to the variable ?

I read on the gb audio site that you need to open nfb-11.28 and change some components to change the type of sound, but to connect speakers and external amplifiers you need to change something or just connect them to the dac Change to variable? I ask this because I do not speak English and google translator does not translate completely correctly.

Hi Renato Fury,

When I got my NFB-11.28 delivered it was already set in "RCA output- variable -mode". I am using mine the way You intend to, with amp and speakers and also sometimes with headphones. You can open the toplid without ruin the warranty. When You place the order You can beg Audio-gd to set the 11.28 in RCA-output Variable mode.

But did you have to do some internal modification on NFB 11.28 or simply plug the speakers and amplifier directly ?
