As far as I can tell you must have your computer powered up first before you power the NFB11 on?

By the way, is there any difference between the different input methods in terms of SQ? I'm having so many issues with the USB drivers I was thinking of maybe trying OPT/Coaxial instead..

^^  my setup was pretty straight forward, no glitch, no nothing on win 10 64bit
 
still, if you experience problems and co. you can use the other connection methods.
they are limited BUT if your source is not above what can be transferred through them there won't be any diff S Q wise
 
 
quick question: how did you find the 650s with the nfb11 ?

First I'll try another USB cable and see if it helps.
 
And yes, I like it a lot with the HD650s, but there's tons of sibilance withthe HE-400s. This might go away with time, right?

well ok, but just don't get into the expensive cable hype :)
cables provided should be enough ..... €50+ usb cables are a bit of a joke
 
don't know about the sibilance issue as I don't have it nor do I have that specific headphone

Is there some reason you need the optional USB drivers? USB works without it for me, and it seems that most people that have had USB problems have been due to installing those drivers.

Don't think so. Same here with old HE400. Ended up selling the headphones. Lots of sibilance also with Beyerdynamic DT990. Also sold. Sounds OK with K701, DT880, HD580 which all have a better resemblance to the speaker sound I'm used to.

Well I guess it's time to sell them or dabble with EQ.
 
But anyways, The HD650s sound incredible with the NFB-11 imo. Better low end and overall much "fuller" sound compared to O2. Not an expert thoug but that's just my impressions.
 
Also, I don't want to jinx it but the issues seemed to have disappeared after I changed the USB cable. So far so good. Will report back in there's a change in situation and if nothing else helps I'll take @cel4145 advice and uninstall them completely.

I thought they were required for Windows?


Not with my NFB-11. Mine installed without it, no problem. If you want to use WASAPI or Direct Sound, just plug it in and let do the automatic install thing for a USB device and then use it.
