Desktop amp from iBasso?
Anyone know if they entering the Desktop amp market?
their portable amps never fail to impress mainly due to the price to performance ratio..
so if they made a desktop amp..would be something worth checkin out
a solid state amp which can drive big boys like HD600, HD650, K701 etc.

their listing on the head-fi front page indicates a desktop dac/amp combo to be released in 2009. I am eager to hear more about it, since I am quite pleased with my D1. If I hear nothing, I may be forced to purchase an audio-gd compass and be done with it.

I don't think he is having a problem I think he wants ibasso to make a desktop amp that can properly drive those cans the 600's and 650's especially really gain from using a big amp as well as balancing.

Hi guys
New member here. Just got myself a Viper D2 - my very first DAC. First impression was 'wow' - what a small piece of hardware can perform.
Trying to upgrade the op amp which can enhance the bass and high.
Any inputs highly appreciated.

i dont drive HD600 with Boa..it is not good enough.
i use it as a DAC and pass out the signal to a Desktop amp.
but i know iBasso can also make a good Desktop amp at a reasonable price.
and i wud love try it.

I heard it was in the works a while back. You would think by now it would be sneak peaking with a picture or a small amount of info.

Posts like that with embedded hidden images can be an attempt at cookie stuffing or similar cross-site hackery. The site that serves the GIF can run scripts that set cookies and other things. Cookie stuffing is an attempt to get bogus affiliate credit for Amazon purchases, eBay purchases, and similar affiliate programs. If iBasso has an affiliate program this person could be attempting to game it.
Best protocol would be for you to edit your post to remove the clear GIF image from the quoted text, just in case.
