The DA chips we had applied all with 32 bit input, we have do some lot test and compare , consider the 32bit is better match, so in the 2014 driver have force on 32 bit.

So I finally figured out my issue with DSD.
Aparently the NFB-1 2015 does not like Intel's X58 Chipset USB 2.0 ports. I tried on two different X58 based computers with same issues getting anything about 24/48 to play.
I tried it on my AMD computer and it worked perfectly with all sample rates and DSD.
So i plugged it into the USB 3.0 port on my X58 motherboard and it all works flawlessly now. So note to any X58 users, the USB 2.0 ports will not work for the NFB-1 (2015), use the USB 3.0 ports.
Very happy camper now!~
I've got an NFB 11 (2014) and I'm pretty much impessed by the sound. I spent some time updating firmwares and installing the latest drivers, and I thought I had eliminated all the original problems with dsd playback, instabilities, etc., as it was for several days that eveything was running smooth ...
However, today, when watching Yoy Tube, windows crashed and got a blue screen, had to reboot, etc. etc.
I thought that that was a problem of the past, previous firmwares & drivers. Unfortunately it is not.
I had the same problem, youtube, facebook and some other web stuff would make my computer hang after some time of using it, raging from 10 to 40 minutes.
I found no way to solve my problem, it happened to me with my Master-7, PPA usb card solved that problem (I fried it), then I used the DI-2014 and never had the same problem again, because I stoped using the USB32 built in the Master-7, I have no clue why this happens...
I actually bought a new mother board/CPU and power supply, formated it and then installed the Master-7 USB32 again, and the problem still persisted, it's very strange.

well, its really strange, i used built in usb modules on 15.32, nfb28, sa 1.32, master 7 and di2014. Everything was fine, including youtube, mpc player,...
the only issues is if i want to use foobar/jriver i just change the default sound device in window into another output, wherever i want to listen to youtube, i have to close foobar/jriver first and change back default sound to audio-gd device. Even if i forgot to close jriver/foobar the only trouble was the clip would not play. No crashing or blue screen.
after one year of (nearly) flawless operation I migrated the audioGD NFB 15.23 (FW 2104) from my desktop PC (Core i3 2120) to a lenovo All-in-One PC (Core i3 550). Both systems have Win7 home premium installed. Music software is JRiver MC 20. While the DAC still works fine with my desktop PC (apart from a few minor issues, see below) it won't work with the lenovo.
With the audioGD-VIA-driver (I tried v2 and v3 of the 2014 package) installed, the system seems to "lose" contact to the DAC after a few seconds of playing. I tried every possible output mode (WASAPI, kernel-Streaming, VIA direct ...) on JRiver 20, but after a few bars, the speakers fall silent while the player goes on (as can be seen at the "elapsed-time-bar" and the equalizer.
I deinstalled the drivers and tried to plug in the DAC without software installed which led to a funny experience. In the device manager an "unknown device" appeared and disappeared every 5 seconds.
So, I'm at my (limited) wits' end and will certainly dump the audiogd for a working solution... unless anybody here can help me. So you are my last straw. HELP
Ah, yes, I was writing about minor flaws: When switching from spotify or webcontent to JRiver the DAC refused to go on working and demanded to be restarted. Sometimes I even got bluescreen after switching from web content (youtube) to any other media, but rather rarely.
your solution is to try -somehow- for the windows to recognize your nfb 15, as a ''usb audio device'', without having to install the 'really problematic & full buggy'' via drivers. Then you cal play with wasapi ... I don't know how you could manage this, i suppose that you have to allow windows search in web or something. I know that in my vaio with win7, after i completely unistalled the VIA drivers and connected my nfb 11 (2014), windows managed to recognize it as a usb audio device. Of course i lost the capability to play native dsd, but if you consider that i solved all the rest of my problems, i think that i can live with dsd-> pcm conversion ....
It' s a pitty that Kinwa insists on using the VIA usb chip...
Can somebody confirm the current USB-32 driver works in Windows 2012 R2 environment?
I am eyeing the NFB1 but not sure it will work in my Audiophile Optimized environment under Windows 2012 R2.
