god this is painfully sharp to me vs my o2odac.... guess im not a fan of "detail"....****, idk how to reurn it of if i should sell it on ebay or what now :S

If you are comparing the ODAC to the DAC in the NFB-11 by switching the cable back and forth to your speakers, yes. The treble should be stronger if you have the NFB-11 set to fixed output. The ODAC's output is rated 2 VRMS; the line out when set to fixed on the NFB-11 is 2.5 VRMS. It should be louder overall.

To properly compare them, you would need to level match them using an SPL meter.

Maybe calm down, take a chill pill, wait for a few weeks and if you still hate it, then sell it?

I think with their recent factory move, they've had to skip out on burn-in times. It was a few days of use/burn-in before my DAC-19 received last week lost it's excessive treble and sibilance.
 
Let it play overnight and for a few days and give it another go. You should hear the typical Audio-gd neutral house soon enough.

It all good. I ended up buying it from him to power my zmf Blackwood (Zach actually uses audio-gd to tune his stuff.) I have fond memories of the nfb-28, so I'm assuming this will be the same basic sound.

Did you get it with the TXCO upgrade? I may be willing to buy it

It's inaccurate to say tune. He listens to them to make sure they were tuned right with Audio-GD stuff. I believe it was a Master Series, but I can't remember. He has a lot of gear.

still nice info and says something about audio g d
pretty impressed with the sound of this entry level dac.....makes you wanna jump on the higher end models as well (although prolly sound quality increase shouldn't be directly correlated with the price increase )

Hi all
 
I received today NFB-11 Excellent performance with me
But I faced a problem is that it does not come out the sound when you play video files, k-lite, for example,
In foobar The sound works fine
What solution to this problem?

Higher price gear tends to have superior performance, but of course that is not the case with all equipment. More importance is matching it right with other gear.

It might be just a matter of output selections, both in foobar and windows mixer. Keep in mind that going with bit perfect output will cancel any other simultaneously playing source.

Higher price gear tends to have superior performance, but of course that is not the case with all equipment. More importance is matching it right with other gear. 

You might be right, but if it's better it should not matter that much the pairing. If it's more important the pairing then it's not better, it's just different. Will see )

Set the audio gd as the default playback device in Windows mixer.

I'll know tomorrow how it compares to the NFB-11, but the NFB-28 was, for me, superior to the Bimby/Val2, Bifrost/Soloist, and other expensive combos I've tried in the past. I had to get rid of it then for some issues, but the guy I sold it to raves about it a lot.

well I have no issues atm and have tested through and through ..... already pondering the high route as well as I see myself needing 2 setups quite soon
your issues were defects or some quirks in operation that didn't suit your needs ?
