I would be interested to know myself. I never had any issues with my NFB11.32 but Amanero would be worthwhile upgrade methinks. And I don't see why it would not be possible, but I've been known to be wrong...once...

All I know is that the noise floor is virtually inaudible and the DAC is the most neutral I've ever owned.

After wasting countless money and time with Schiit Audio (They really need to remove the 'c' from their name) I finally jumped on the NFB11 and couldn't be happier.

hey guys.

i have my new NFB-11.28 and my headphone is HE4XX do you know the best digital filter set for this headphones ?

and i ordered the HD6XX i read that this NFB-11.28 is good compo with HD6XX what do you think ?

I use my HD6XX with my older NFB-11 from 2014. Most excellent combination, IMO.

The HD6XX is a great headphone for the money

have you try the HD6XX with another amp ?

Not other than with my portable amp. I got off the desktop dac/amp buying merry go round a few years ago. Much better to spend money on headphones, rather than investing money in the minute advantages that different amp/dac units offer

okay, everyone say that you have to buy better headphone then buying better dac/amp, but at the same time i read that hd6xx/650 is as good as you get better amp you'll get better sound

That's a good question for the sound science forum: https://www.head-fi.org/forums/sound-science.133/. I'm in the good solid state dacs/amps should be audible transparent camp, assuming the amps have enough power to drive the headphones (which NFB-11 easily does).

How a particular headphone will sound has a lot more to do with what you like than what others do Seriously, as we all hear differently, and all of our tastes are slightly (or more) different, no way to answer that. For me, I realized that my 11.38 was extremely transparent (wire with gain), so much so that while the Elex are my current favorite headphones, I have to default to my second favorite Sundara that are not quite as bright as the Elex as the combination of Elex and 11.38 is just too fatiguing... As to the 6XX/650... I like the combination with the 11.38 as the headphones are far less bright.

As to filter, I only played with two of them (too much of a PITA to take the cover off and move around the jumpers, at least one of which is bloody hard to get at) - fast/minimum & slow/linear. I prefer the slow/linear (EDIT - in original response I incorrectly wrote slow/minimum) because it takes the edge off a bit - slightly smoother sound. But then that is just me!

I have the very same problem... I thought it was just my setup! I can just barely move and the sound cuts out momentarily and then restarts.

I did an experiment yesterday and replaced the USB cord (I connect my NFB 11.38 to a laptop through USB) and for the very short time I tried it I did not get the cut out of sound. However since it is a relatively infrequent thing for me I need to test it more today. I will post here my findings...

Just a short test... With the new USB cable, one hour listening and no cut outs. Will continue testing later, but for now I better hit the gym or I won't stop listening to the music OK, will listen while working out, but on a far less capable portable system!

One other observation. I found my NFB was far more sensitive to experiencing cutouts when I had another DAC plugged into a different USB port. Without the second Amp plugged in I had far fewer cutouts but still had some. But for now, with only the NFB plugged in and a different than stock cable, no cutouts. Yet...

If you don't mind, I have a tangential question for you. What filter have you set your 11.28 to? The 11.38 has the same filters, but it is a PITA to change the jumpers so I haven't experimented much.

ok, i have another cheap USB sound card plug into my PC and i did try to unplug it and try, same problem happen.

it's ok to ask : )

and i haven't change the filters, it was and still ( Fast roll-off ) i don't know anything about filters even my English is poor i can't read full page of words so i don't know what those filters do, if you know can you give me short answer to understand what is this ?
