Audiolab MDAC vs Audio GD DAC NFB 17.2 + NFB-6

[econsumer666]

Hello,
 
can anyone suggest, if buying Audio GD DAC NFB 17.2 + NFB-6 would be an upgrade from Audiolab MDAC. It would cost roughly the same. I'm going to use with with LCD2 and probably either HD800 or T1 in the future. I currently have Audio GD Fun, which cost less than half of Audiolab MDAC and I don't think I hear much of improvement whatsoever!
 
Thanks

I would like to know this too. Educated input would be welcome.

I've actually just ordered Audio GD DAC 5.2 and NFB6 to go with it and will send the MDAC back as I somehow feel that for 800 EUR which the MDAC cost I'll get better quality with Audio GD. I actually like Audio GD Fun more (at least over Headphones than MDAC) and it cost less than 50%. This chinease manufacturing is really haaaard to beat.
Now I've read that the NFB6 is only good via balanced headphone jack, What... oh man (( I didnt know that how come damn I guess I'll probably have to recable the LCD 2...

You might not need to recable it. This is an option: http://www.audio-gd.com/Pro/Headphoneamp/Phoenix/ModifyEN.htm
