agreed, its cool to see them and where my d10 started life.

I REALLY hope that iBasso would hire the maker of MiniBox-E+. The MiniBox-E+ has already succeeded in implementing quad 634BUF and high voltage in a small package. With the right support from the ibasso team, I'd figure they could come up with a super micro sized amp.

Hands down, until today I am still amazed by the prowess of the MiniBox-E+.

Thanks, that's Boa and Heron.
You can see pico in 3rd pic.

MiniBox-E+ has AD8610 and BUF634s architecture, indeed.
But it's not having enough fine caps and afford to make with WB-mode standability,
lacking to drive many kinds of headphones (ER-4s also).
The size sacrificed its power, performance of OPAMPs.
fi.Quest is designed for driving E9 completely.

We can use LM6171, OPA627, AD8010 as BUFs in parallel with stacked 634s.
I can say this amp will be loaded 4-634s per channel.
MiniBox-E+ doesn't have any choices of BUFs and fine pots....
And, we tried to reduce more distortion in this amp.
Like A47 style, local feedback like lisaIII or V2^2, reducing impedance btwn rail, etc....

I'd proposed some my ideas for their newer products.
D10 w/o amp section (for using your favorite amp...aiming at pico size),
E5 size FET discrete amp, paralleled OPAMP architecture.
Also, some their products will be refined (w/ more fine parts).

now THAT sounds interesting, i'm interested in the D10, but not for the amp section; I have a perfectly useable amp

Yes, I think D10 is one of ultimate.
I heard opinion to yearn DAC only D-series in Japan, completely agreed and also been convinced that will be a bestseller.
So bulky to carry and gather "iHP1X0 - Dseries - favorite amp - Headphones/Earphones" triple-combo
Then that makes slightly downsizing and long runtime

yes, but i'm already used to that with my rig anyway DIYMOD 5.5G->VCAP dock->lisa III->headphones. So this is not a stretch; in fact will probably be smaller (just a bit)

Ok, I am listening to the prototype with 634 buffers and I have to look at the opamps but I have to say up front that this amp is very detailed and throws an open energetic sound field. I find the charging options very interesting. You can run it from an external supply at 23 volts or the batteries at 16.8. There is plenty of headroom and potential. I look forward to trying my favorite buffers, the HA5002.

This will be an interesting comparison between this and the Lisa III.

And I really, really like the curve on the volume control. Very gradual and the gain settings are very good and useful.

What are your thoughts so far with the HA5002, Jam?

I haven't used them yet. I thought I had some mounted but I don't and to use them I would need special adapter boards for the pinout.
