Not even with isolation feet ?
Not even with isolation feet ?
from experience the sound quality of A-G DACs deteriorate if they are too close to other equipment.
Probably big enough spacers would minimise this but I certainly would never put metal spacers on top of it.

is NFB-8 on the warm side or the neutral side? based on my understanding neutral is good for classical music and warm is good for vocal? I am looking for a DAC for the logitech squeezebox touch, and I like warmer sound, is NFB-8 a good choice?
The NFB-8 is a great choice because the NFB-8 is neutral and detailed. The warm I believe is attributed to an absence of harshness or artifacts in the mids and highs. There is simply no fatigue when listening to quality recordings. Kingwa says that the NFB-8 WM is closer to the Ref 7 than the NFB-7 ESS chip and the Ref 7 is the flagship Audio gd DAC.
I ordered mine today... I choose the NFB8 over the NFB7 because of the "warm side ". I already owned a REF5 and I have no fatigue with that DAC. I just sold an analytical pro audio DAC because, even though the details were phenomenal, I could not listen to more than one album....I felt the sound was too agressive...
I hope I made a good choice....like I did with the REF5
I should receive it some times in July...

let me know how you like it compared to REF5, Denys. I am also considering of getting it.
