No.  Muting of either is handled by the button on the front labeled DAC/HP.

hmm i thought it would be a hassle to plug/ungplug my headphones without it auto switching, but then I realized I could just leave my headphones plugged in and just press the button to switch. Thank you for the info!

Hi Guys,
 
Do you know if this dac is upsampling automatically to 32bit / 384K or i have to enable it via software to try? 
 
Thanks

It does not automatically upsample

Given it is a relay based volume control... it better.

ah gotcha. While on this topic, does it click for each step, like multiple clicks the farther you go? or just one click when changing volume?
 
Does playing video (start/stop) or youtube cause the unit to click as well?

There's a click for every volume step, that's how the relay works. Some steps are louder than others.

And yes, after playback you can get a click when the muting circuit kicks in. It's well documented, and is a protective feature.

Well, I'm officially joining the club.  Zach's old 28 is coming my way this week; hopefully it comes in before the long weekend.  

 
My HE-560's are arriving on Friday too.  Should be an interesting musical weekend!

Awesome, congrats! Do you still have the he-4? I'm curious how they sound together...

Sorry, the HE-4 has left the building.  In fact, it paid for about half the NFB-28.  :-D  I have the HE-560 arriving on the same day as the NFB-28 so maybe that will help a little...

Welcome. 

 
I'm curious to hear how the sabre pairs with HE-560. After some more listening I can see why people call it aggressive, it has a very forward punchy sound to it. I'm really digging it, though. Can't wait to try the LCD2's with it.

Just wanted to chime in and say that I really think I hear an appreciable difference between hearing this amp cold vs. after warming up/leaving it on accidentally. Smoother, blacker background... cold it sounds like the soundscape has been shattered. Warm is more organic. Since I really believe differences in gear are near minimal, it's strange to know that I can hear a difference between warm vs. cold!

Did you think I was nuts when I said that to you before?

Ditto.  I'm also a little worried it'll be too bright for my taste, but we'll see.  For the price, it'd be a shame not to at least give it a shot.
 
I definitely liked the sabre with the LCD-2, btw.

I think you will like it...it's well broken in! 

 
I still miss it a bit even though I have the Ref 10.32 now.  Should have just bit the bullet and kept it lol.
