I have similar experiences with the v1.41 and v1.61 firmwares and I have been using v1.41 for many months. In my set up, the U16 is connected to a Gustard X20 dac via I2S.

Well, that is above my pay grade But the idea is that it's very stable long term, so it can be used to counter aging in a clock. On the other hand, short term stability should be more relevant for audio, and I can see that fluctuate more with a GPSDO as satellites go in and out of range. Just my speculation, though.Hm., what time? Orbital time isn't equal terrestrial time, it's a bit slower due to Einstein theory (atomic clocks located on satellites boards runs slower the same one located on Earth). So, satellits transmiting corrected time for Earth. What about a jitter during this Einsteins correction?
Maybe it refers to the Audio-GD NFB-11 DAC/headphone amp: http://www.audio-gd.com/Pro/Headphoneamp/NFB11/NFB11EN.htmWhat is NFB? Please explain if possible
It's can not be new, the new ocxo chips costs > $1500Got this but have no idea if any good (or if the OCXO inside is new
There are cheaper units i am sure. Mine is from a chinese cie.It's can not be new, the new ocxo chips costs > $1500
Just installed the 1.61 nfb beta. I have an audio-gd r7-he. So far, just a single pop changing data rate, not occuring afterwards, and everything plays fine. 192,188,96, 44.
For those installing it on an i2s dac, don't forget to select the right i2s mode. I selected PSA.
Too soon for champagne but promising.
I am wondering whether we can use this v1.61 NFB with other DACs than the ones made by audio-gd. I could try it myself, but I am away from my equipment.
To add some information here -
1) I received one of these and cannot get the GPS lock indoors (inside lower level apartment and 4 meters from the nearest window). I need about a 10M lead to the antenna so if I can find that I will advise the group.
2) I found a manual online, they suggest a clear view of the sky for best performance. Also interesting comments about performance vs. warm up time.

I don’t think the “nfb” label on this firmware refers to audio gd nfb dac
Am using it with a denafrips dac - so far so good
I installed the v1.61 NFB firmware. It worked with my Gustard X20 DAC; however, the channels are swapped! I do not want comment on the sound quality at this initial stage.
