I guess the question is, what are you upgrading from?
The ES9018 chip is inherently a little bright with good details, but the Audio-GD implementation is very good, making it smooth, detailed, punchy and dynamic. It should work great with the LCD's,I loved it with my HE-500.
If you use USB than the upgrade is worth it, as the USB-32 sounds great.
I'm starting from scratch. I bought the LCD2 (which haven't arrived yet) and I'm the market for an amp/DAC. I was almost buying a Lyr2/Bifrost combo, after doing more research, I stumbled upon this thread and the NFB-28 seems a very combo amp/dac combo, at least for my budget (1,000 USD).
Since I'll be using my desktop as a source, I think I'll upgrade.
Thanks!
