Congrats Brad, The build quality on the A-gd stuff is superb and the NFB-2 seems to be getting a great rap from many quarters.
Listening with my ears :)

Thanks Gordan.

Yes i am yet to find a review that has anything bad to say about the dac for the price. Still a bit of a gamble though.

You happy with your transport?

Pretty happy so far. My Marantz has a top end that can be a little sharp and digital. The nfb2 seems to have solved both of these problems. Bass is nice and strong and better defined so far. Still getting some hours on it and Mario is sending me a better digital cable soon I hope so when it gets here I will report back.

Will be interested on your thoughts too.

Cheers

Good to see your early comments Brad.

Also, it will be interesting to see your comments on the change of cable.
