I think mrarroyo said that he is getting one soon. I think I'll wait for his impressions first.

The DAC-chip of the D10 is the same as the one used in the iBasso D3, which, I've read, sounds great as a DAC-only. I'm looking forward to reading impressions and reviews, I'm curious how the sound signature of the amp sounds.

I think using the dac in optical or the USB but for me the optical should be great. At least I am really looking forward to it. I should be getting one around the middle of next week.

Now I got to visit sysconcept to pick up a short optical cable that's toslink to miniplug. All my current cables are mini to mini.

To anyone else thinking of getting a D10 to use with an H1xx...here's a great link:

U-shape Toslink and MiniPlug short cables.

Yes, I have used Sys.concept for a number of years. The short cables started after I asked them to make them shorter and shorter and then to eliminate the outer jacket for a better arc when bending. They are great people and go out of their way to make good quality optical cables to fit your need. I have all the different connections and the right angle adapter is great for keeping the cable close to the back of the amp/dac/source.

I use the right angles as well for my "H160/MicroDAC in a bag" rig. My only concern on those is that the extra horizontal length can create some torque on the jacks if you are using it portably.

I agree Sysconcept is a great outfit and a true resource to all who aspire to go optical on the move.

Yep the right angled toslink adapter is rather huge and the torque pressure have high tendency to snap them off easily. That's why I DIYed my own very short direct U link, less prone to snapping

The quality of the units continuous to evolve, iBasso is sure coming out w/ lots of new products.



And perhaps even a comparison with your D3?
