This unit is sold in Ebay for $64.00.

It looks very good, average sound as reviewed by Skylab.

Question:

1. Anyone has any info on this unit, possibly the op amp can be changed,
by a swap over or easily resoldered.
2. Does it contain 1 op amp per channel or is it buffered?

thinking of buying and then swap the op amp(s) because the case looks so good.

any input anyone?

I had the unit open once. No, it is not an easy swap as they are small surface mount and I don't think I would want to go there. Too much work but that is something you would have to decide. I don't know what chip it uses.

I owned one too and I have to say it was the worst amp of my lot.
You should check very carefully what to drive with this amp.
It also has problems with outside noises.

The ibasso T1 uses two Maxim IC MAX4410 Direct Drive headphone amps biased Class-AB.  Sound stage, dynamics, and tonal response is rather good.  I use this amp primarily to drive my JVC-Victor HP-AL1000 earphones and to my surprise it rivals that of my Sennheiser HD-500A in overall overtones, sound-stage, and dynamics while introducing a little bit more resolution.  One note I have to say is that the circuitry isn't shielded hence it will pickup some RF and other interference generating noise so best keep this amp away from high and medium-powered sources like say bluetooth and or wireless WiFI antennas. 

 

Do not for all intensive purposes use the WSS switch as it will significantly degrade the sound stage and dynamics while introducing emphasized treble frequencies.

 

Hope this helps

 

Everybody have a great weekend.
