I cancelled my Xin Supermicro IV order recently after purchasing my T2 black Ibasso. Not that I was expecting the Ibasso to be the better amp, I just found it to be a nice purchase for my portable needs and chose to concentrate on a good home amp rather than wait for Xin to build my amp sometime before the Mayan calender runs out. Anyway, with my 5.5 ipod, microshar lineout dock, connected to the Ibasso T2 and using a pair of Yuin Pk-1's, I've been really impressed by the tiny Ibasso and it sounds even better after burn in. The added bass switch really helps the PK1's, but like you, I've chosen to turn the soundstage button off as I don't think it offers much to the sound. The other added plus to the T2 is the lithium battery and the long time between charges. Overall, it's really a good looking amp, sounds quite good for its size and if it remains reliable, I won't have any regrets in cancelling my Supermicro to concentrate on saving up for some nice home gear.
