Wonderful DAC with beautiful sound.
I have upgraded to a much more expensive DAC with the NFB-1.32 holding it's own against the upgrade.Dac utilizes the Sabre32 chipset and has upgrades offered by GD-Audio. Price includes paypal and UPS ground shipping to lower 48 in original
factory box. $325. Check my feedback here as well as:
Audiogon: AW118
Ebay: ARW118 INFO:
Fully balanced design built by discrete analog stages without any OPA and couple caps in the signal channels.
Non- feedback ACSS analog output stage .
Uses R-core transformer , more than 20,000uf audio grade NOVER capacitors are used to ensure ample and smooth power feed.
