Hi all,
 
Hope someone here can help me.  I have some Beyer DT-880 250 ohms and bought a Audio-gd NFB 12 amp/dac.
 
I'm running Win 7 Ultimate, and have connected the NFB-12 via USB to my PC.
 
What an amazing setup when it's working correctly!  But the sound is just NOT consistent!  There is major stuttering in absolutely all applications.  Winamp, Foobar, Windows Media Player, VLC, etc. all have issues.  The stuttering issue even occurs during Counter-Strike Source and essentially makes the game unplayable.  At times, the sound will just cut out completely.  Then it may return and run smoothly and sound great again.
 
I just installed it originally with Microsoft's default USB driver shown in the attachment.
 
Is there an updated one I can use?  Is this a faulty unit?  This is killing me as the sound is horrible and makes everything stutter!
 
Much appreciated,
 
BLK MeSa

Guess what people?
 
Finally fixed this myself, and it had absolutely nothing to do with the NFB-12!  The problem was with a conflict of drivers (I tried using the onboard Realtek soundcard to output to some speakers and only turn it on when I needed it and this caused some massive issues).
 
I fixed the conflict and all is well now (I will use the NFB to output to my speakers somehow now). 
 
Hopefully I didn't turn anyone off of this DAC/AMP because it is truly a BEAST.
 
Music/gaming/Movies are incredible now paired with my DT880s.
 
AMAZING!

Hmm I used to have this problem and it turned out my graphics card was running at a lower bus speed (PCIE x8 instead of x16). Took me a while to figure that out. Glad you fixed the problem. The NFB-12 is a very good dac.

Why don't you change the title as "solved" so people don't think the 12 is faulty?

@ brasewel - yeah strange how hardware sometimes changes on us!  NFB-12 ROX!
@tim332070 - good idea - done.
