Anyway I've contacted Nuforce and I'm waiting for their reply. For me this counts as DOA because this channel imbalance is really killing the listening experience using my headphone. |

Originally Posted by jasonl /img/forum/go_quote.gif This issue is very subjective and we have published an article to explain what people can expect from such an analog volume control Nuforce.com | Guides We can't go around and replace the uDAC whenever someone complains about channel imbalance at low volume. But what we can do is to take the uDAC back and test for it. If we agree, we send you a new uDAC. If we don't, we give you 100% refund. uDAC is a $99 product and not in the same league as the $449 Icon HDP. We tried to explain in the article that unlike digital volume control, analog volume pot has precision issue at very low volume. Regardless, customer satisfaction is important. So contact directsales with your help desk ticket ID and someone will make sure it gets resolved. |

If I'm understanding the issue correctly, it should only be a problem with really low impedance (and high sensitivity) headphones where the pot has to be kept near 12 o'clock to avoid wrecking my hearing, correct? I shouldn't see a problem using it with the AKG K701's, for instance? |

I'd say it's safe to say that you won't have any issues with the K701 with it, barring any other defects in the product. Because of all this talk, I tried some of my lower impedence stuff on the uDAC yesterday (RS1, HD238, ESW10JPN) just to listen for any imbalance and I simply don't hear any of it. Got a good one out of the bunch I guess. |
