Should be fine. Drivers don't often (maybe ever?) require the presence of the thing they support. They simply wait in the OS until the device is plugged in, and make it all work.

Thanks , for the reply ,i have another question , does the very loud Plop when power on really exist ? Is it dangerous for ears ? what are the safe method when turning on with the headphone plug in to the dac amp .

Never have your headphones on your head when you power on an amp. If there is a pop, you could damage your hearing. The headphones will be fine, but your ears, not so much.

OK , so i can let the headphone permanently plug . Are you sure that the  headphone drivers will be save ?

I'm sure of nothing save my lust for fried chicken and the warm embrace of a beautiful woman.

If you're uncomfortable keeping the headphones plugged in, don't feel ashamed. Plenty of folk disconnect them until they're ready for a listen. Nothing wrong with such precaution.

OK . Thanks .

What volume do you guys use on NFB when using it in DAC only mode?

I usually just set it to the Fixed output mode when using it as a DAC.

Hmmm... Who exactly do you do it?

 

[jodgey4]

Depends on the year model. Some have jumpers, some have a button, some neither IIRC.

Mine is 2015. I see no jumpers, no special button except dac/hp, gain and input...
Regardless, what would be a good volume in the DAC mode?

I asked the same question earlier in the thread, to no response. I don't have a DMM on me to test for 2V anymore. The jumpers are inside the unit, if you have them.

It is kind of confusing as it almost NFB-28 acts like a pre-amp in the DAC mode.
