USB-32
Introduce
Fully balanced design built by discrete analog stages without any
OPA and couple caps in the signal channels.
Non- feedback ACSS analog output stage .
R-core transformers.
Total of 7-group dedicated power circuits are used to purify the
power supply.
Four-channel digitally controlled relay-based volume control to
avoid channel imbalance and improve sound quality. NFB-10SE has 48
steps volume level control in both high gain mode and low gain mode.
The total 96-step volume control ensures smooth control of the
volume level.
3 channels digital input :
coaxial / Optical / USB
DAC output :
XLR / RCA / ACSS (User can setting with either variable and
fixed output level )
Headphone output :
4 pins XLR / 6.3MM SE
USB Audio Class 2 High-speed Input from Windows / MAC / Linux
Supports High / full speed Asynchronous Transfer Mode up to 384K / 32Bit
ability .
Resolutions support 16 / 24 / 32 Bit with sampling rate support
44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz, 192kHz ( USB )
Supports up to 24 Bit/192KHz ( SPDIF )
Supports 2X , 4X and 8X oversampling customers setting
Memorizes all settings and it could resume the last settings when
power on.
Sound Characteristics:
"Neutral but smoothness sounding ,it
doesn't sound skeletal or digital (or metallic). There's meat aplenty on
them bones . It's a sigma-delta DAC chip implementation without the
dryness, neutrality without the emotional disconnection" - John Darko
If only the RCA or 6.3MM headphone is used, is the NFB-10
being wasted or not fully utilized?
NFB-10 is
a real balanced DAC . It has balanced output
(ACSS, XLR and balanced headphone output) and single-ended output
. There are 4 ACSS amplifiers in the NFB-10 for balanced outputs and balanced inputs. Even when a
single-ended output is used, the ¡§Dual WM8741¡¨ DA chips will perform
fully thanks to the fully balanced design.
