AUDIO-GD NFB-29H

DAC / Headphone Preamplifier / Amplifier

An ultra versatile audio device ...

This is the "Single Handed" version of the NFB-27, very versatile and efficient. NFB is an acronym that stands for "Non-Feedback".Non-Feedback is the technology used by Audio-GD so that it does not "color" the sound at the level of the output stage electronics, providing you with a sound of professional neutrality.

Unconventional connectivity and components

This NFB-29H has a DAC SABER ES9018 supporting signals up to 32bit / 384kHz and DSD to USB (Asynchronous), all thanks to the AMANERO interface of the manufacturer. In order to use the AMANERO correctly, here are the indications of Audio-GD as well as the download link of the driver:f = "http://audio-gd.com/Pro/dac/Amanero/AmaneroEN.htm" target = "_ blank">Amanero Combo 384 USB Interface.This device has many inputs to be comfortable in all configurations, 6 in total: USB / I2S via RJ45 / Optical Toslink / Coaxial SPDIF / 2x RCA, alongside 3 analog outputs: 2x RCA / ACSS. Not to mention the 2 outputs Headphones: XLR 4 PIN / Stereo Jack 6.35mm.

FULLY HIGH FIDELITY

32bit/ 384kHz / DSD / DXD / PCM / TCXO / ES9018

The 100% discrete and symmetrical design of this converter is backed by 6 groups of high power power supplies. Its ultra-modern DAC allows you to manage 32-bit / 384kHz sources directly via USB (Asynchronous), and 24bit / 192kHz via SPDIF inputs. The NFB-29H has a built-in internal TCXO Audio-GD clock that significantly reduces the Jitter, as well as internal cabling designed entirely with OCC copper.

Remote Control Metal

This NFB-29H is accompanied by its remote controlmetal, brushed aluminum finish. All the sobriety and class of Audio-GD stand out from this remote, as it is purified and functional. You will find 2 buttons to change your input sources, as well as 3 buttons to adjust the volume: Plus / Minus / Mute.

SABER ES9018 - DAC

This SABER ES9018 conversion chipset built into the NFB-29H is one of the first generation 32bit converters capable of reading High Definition signals up to 32bit / 384kHz, not forgetting DSD (64 and 128) / PCM files. It is recognized as one of the most efficient and efficient converters. You can find detailed documentation on the manufacturer's official website:http://www.esstech.com/files/1414/4095/2154/ES9018S_PB_v1.7_140916.pdf "target =" _ blank ">ESS ES9018 - Reference 32-bit Audio DAC.

AMANERO USB Interface

This Audio-GD Amanero Combo 384 USB interface is directly linked to a USB-B output on the rear panel. It allows you to support files up to 32Bit / 384kHz, via DSD64, DSD128 (Native or DoP), DSD256, and DSD512. This excellent USB interface corrects the defects of old versions based on original VIA chips capricious.
