I never understand how people could like any audio GD crap hahaha
WHAT!?  YOU SUCK!

Why don't you like the Audio-gd stuff?

I only have the NFB-16, usb powered dac/amp.

I'm not a fan of Audio GD stuff either.

I have the Lite Dac 83 which you can find on JD's dac index.

hehehe I've owned the c2c Amp and tried an NFB11 dac/amp. Clinical is the first term that comes to mind for the 11 and typical boom chak sound for the c2c. boosted bass and boosted treble(recessed mids) then a chop off at the top most frequencies making them lose air.

Where did you get it and how much?  I would like to buy one, or the NAD...  I spend too much money...

Fair enough, but isn't that the amp included too?  Or did you mean the DAC chopped the tops off too?

I think the big problem is with their amps but since the nfb 11 is designed to be used as a dac/amp then I couldn't really give impressions of it as a standalone dac.

I'm a pretty big noob when it comes to audio, I just buy things and maybe listen to them once a month. :P

Looking at the Lite DAC-83, I will need a transport to get that going and I'm not too sure what to look for. :P

Computer or CD player? There's a whole bunch of asynchronous converters in the $400-600 range. One option is the new Channel Islands DAC. It can be used both as a digital-digital converter or DAC, so you can start off with it in DAC mode and then switch it to being a converter with a higher-end DAC later on.

Right... but what type of transport are we talking, computer or CD player, or something like a SBT?
