Does your NFB-11 have the 1ppm 80Mhz TCXO upgrade. Before I did the 1ppm TCXO upgrade to my NFB-1, it would have drop-out in the first 5 min if "cold start" below 10C degree. It works fine in other temperature range, or when completely warmed up.
Yes, mine was out already with the upgrade. But the DI did not.
Edwin told me even without upsampling the TCXO upgrade would make difference in the DI. Strange, because it works even without the clock on the socket.... anyway... there must be a reason then.

Do you have another cd/dvd player with coaxle out to try playback without the DI?
Only my cable TV receiver... but I don't know if it's a good reference....

For the USB, if all thing does not work then try to buy a USB 3.0 add-on card to use so you can isolate the driver/share usage. USB's problem is it is so "univeral" that every program tries to poll the port regularly.
Well... I might wanna try that... in fact I really want to try that.... the problem is: I don't have any PCI-Ex slot left.... my mobo is a Mini-ITX... and it only got one PCI-Ex which is used by my video card.
Oh... if you have photo software installed, try to disable those auto external drive detecting/photo import function as well.
No, I don't use any o this. Anyway... I'll try a fresh install from windows 7 next weekend if I can't get it right until then.

Yeah, it really is. But I'm sure all info produced in this matter will be very useful for future reference....

I had mine checked by Kingwa. But at 65C its was rated by him as normal. Should be solved by opening the top lid though.
Good to know 65C is fine... mine is for sure not over it.... must be around 40-50 judging that I can keep my hand over it.
To address this issue better I moved both DI and NFB-11 away from my tube amplifiers.... there was a LD MKII in one side, and a mini-watt on the other... these guys are small but really get hot.
I also put 2 small pieces of foam to act as a feet for the NFB-11, taking it about a inch high from the contact surface.....
And took the DI to the side of the NFB-11 instead on the top of it....
I'll report back if it does makes any difference in temperature and drop out issue....
