I'm looking for an amp / dac worth up to $450, which is powerful for most headphones, something that is not overly hot or shiny, but rather neutral or slightly colored, preferably neutral, an amp / dac that is sweet, musical and detailed but not hard, rough and tiring. In my research I have come to these three, but I accept your questions as long as I have these requirements..... And then, what do you say ?

Still like my NFB-11.28.

Have you used all three or just mentioned NFB 11.28 by owning one?

Bought the NFB-15.32 four or five years ago.
A few years ago Audi-GD decided to discontinue the NFB-15, so bought the NFB-15, which had the latest revisions to the NFB-15 series.
Sold off my older NFB-15.32.
Then about 3 or 4 months ago bought the NFB-11.28 (my NFB-15 is collecting dust).

But have you ever tested the other two or a product as good as or better in this price range than NFB 11.28?

I've never used the Schiit stack or the JDS Element.
But i doubt your going to find anything better then the NFB-11.28, for it's price.

I have heard all three the AG the least amount only once for a song. I would take the Element over a Schiit stack unless your talking Modi MB then I might change my mind a little but just don’t like the Schiit amps much but haven’t heard the Magni 3 yet. Going to a meet in two weeks where there will be said amp so I’ll know then. I haven’t disliked any Audio GD stuff that I’ve heard.

Yes I was referring to Modi Multibit, but unlike @PurpleAngel, why did not you like NFB 11.28?

 

[buke9]

Did not say that I didn’t like the Audio GD just that I didn’t have long enough with it.

I get it now, damn google translator, but what little time you had, did you like it at least a little bit?
