Right so I've been using my D10 every day at work after purchasing it off my mate a few weeks ago. I've been running it as a USB DAC/AMP for my ATH-ES7's and was never sure about leaving the charge switch on the on position or not (while it was connected) so I just left it on thinking it wouldn't charge the battery if it didn't need to (its meant to have overcharge protection) and would simply use the USB input as power too...

However, this week I noticed the red led on the bottom back of the D10 now never turns off - regardless of if I have nothing connected and the volume off, and it seems like the battery now drains quickly while its not in use, as when I turned it on yesterday the light next to the power knob flashed. I tried charging it overnight last night with the volume power switch off and having it only plugged into a USB wall-wart but the bottom red led on the back is still on (but the front red led now doesn't flash). I've opened it up this morning and double checked there are no shorts. Obviously the led turns off if I disconnect the battery :P

Any ideas? Does the red led on the back stay on if the battery is dying? Or have I possibly damaged it while rolling opamps? (I forgot to disconnect the battery while doing it once).

Cheers.

Leaving it on the charge switch shouldn't make a difference, and you don't need to unplug the battery when changing opamps (though giving it some time for the caps to discharge would be a good idea). I think maybe your battery is just near the end of its life. The best bet is to send iBasso an email.

ANyone want to buy a D10?  I'm selling mine.  

Hi,

sorry for wake up this tread but i have a little question...

do you think my D10 can drive a HD 800 Headphone ?

i search very neutral headphone and this HD 800 is on my list ( With SRH 1840, D7000 and HD700)

But i don't know if he can drive 300Ohms Headphone :( .

Maybe if i buy a HD 800 after i want change for a new AMP , but for start i want know if it's OK.

Sorry for my english.

Mika

 

Recently, I've brought the D10 into my audio rig:

Nationite S:Flo2 -> Whiplash Audio Hybrid TWAg-TWCu mini-to-mini -> iBasso D10 -> Grado HF-2 phones

and it adds SUCH a lovely increase in the abundance of rich lushness to the sound in the music to which I listen using it.

Substitute the HD650 for the Grado HF-2, and the result is a little different (less lushness and greater crystalline clarity),

and no less strikingly engaging a listen.

When I bought the SR-71A a few years ago, followed by the P-51 Mustang, I started using the D10 less.  Rolling it back into this rig reminds me of just how

wonderful a music listening instrument the D10 is.

Realy great Thanks ;)

Ok so i need now find a seller for listen this HD800 and The new SRH 1840 and maybe d7000. it's the 3 pretendant for me ;)

Thanks for all, if anybody have information or test with D10 and great HeadPhone don't hesitate ;)

It doesn't play them very loud, but it's loud enough, and with the stock opamps it takes away some of the fatiguing grain to the HD800 as well.  I thought the D10 paired better with HD800 than HD600/650.
