The move is annoying with no battery, no ac adapter, average dac chip, no built in recharge mechanism, and cost more than this little new intro. I might take one and compare it to the move.

Why did you post this Jamato8? I hate you no seriously, I hate you
Yes, but I wonder about how the AMP part compares to the MOVE.

Not really a fan of the nano styled iBasso stuff, so this thing is looking HOT.

Build quality looks great this time, but still dislike the Ibasso font...it is not easy to be a perfectionist .

From the specs it looks pretty good. Love to hear the comparison with the Move both on the DAC and Amp sides. It is significantly bigger though... I see it as a portable amp for laptop, unless a test can confirm it's practicle to carry around with a mp3 player.

Has anyone else noticed that this "new" iBasso DAC/AMP looks amazingly like the Mini-Audio MAD-1 DAC/AMP, which has been out for a long time:



I reviewed it quite a while back...they appear identical physically, but the iBasso version appears to have a very useful USB input added.

"D1 is successor to Mini-Audio MAD01, which is a successful design of portable DAC/AMP combo, but did not attract much attention. D1 better addresses some shortages on MAD01, and has USB-DAC ability."

OK, I missed that, sorry, so "Mini-Audio" and iBasso are sort of the same company I guess???

This just might be ideal for both my MacBook and Sony CD Walkman D-EJ2000!

Don't be too quick to sell your gear LepakVT.

The D1 looks very reminiscent of the Mini-Audio MAD01 with USB added. They even have the same DAC chip.

Take a look around the forum for the Mini-Audio, I believe Sky reviewed it. However, it did not receive stellar marks from the man.

It appears to be quite large, though I can't exactly pin-point how big it really is.

Looks like you missed post #23 and #24. Take a look at Sky's pic. He shows the MAD01 with a 1/8" plug inserted and gives and idea of at least height and width. Looks pretty compact. Very interesting unit indeed.
