Reveived it today! Delivered by DHL. I am amazed by all the stuff iBasso has stuffed into the box. Even an ipod Line-Out adapter. I don`t no what it sounds like yet, because it is charging, but based on the impressions I so far have read, I guess it will sound great!

No, I've the cowon S9 (and Samsung K3 that I use when I go to run so even if it fell down I don't care), I have been quite stupid not to buy even Iriver H-140 when I was in South Korea (I think I could find there)
I'll do next time

What's funny is I ordered the cable also in mm . It's good Joseph from Sys-Concept corrected it.

Excellent support by Sys-Concept. Ordered it ~1:00am. They shipped it out first thing the next morning.

I ordered the one with brown shell, by the way, since length is not critical for me and a 1 meter toslink-to-miniplug cable to use for my external amp/speaker system.

I got this brand new H140 that I used once and kept in box the last 4 years that I will, finally, put it into use.

PS. Yukihiro, where in La Jolla do you live? I lived there for several years while going to school.
Hmm... I wonder why they haven't shipped mine yet. I live near UTC kind of. Trying to finish school in 1 more year... haha

I'll go ahead and send them a message to see what's up.
Me too... I ordered mine on the 12th also and only received the PayPal receipt. Maybe something was wrong with their system that day? oh well... I'm sure it'll come soon.


Hmm... I'm debating whether or not to get an h120 in the future so I can use the optical out. It's way too expensive right now though. They're super old, used and cost more than my Fuze! lol

I have a big USB DAC amp review that I am adding the D10 to. I have posted some teasers here in this thread if you search this thread for posts by me in the past 2-3 weeks. The review will be posted this weekend for sure.

This isn't a bash on iBasso, as I use my D1 more than my RSA Tomahawk since I prefer the sound, but there's no doubt in my mind that an RSA amp could take more of a beating than an iBasso amp. I have no problem using my Tomahawk when mowing the lawn, but I'm quite wary of using my D1 in such hot and dusty/dirty situations. The 1/8" connectors on the D1 feel cheap and rough when plugging in a cable, whereas it feels smooth and solid with the Tomahawk. These are little things, but they add up. The increased expense of Predator and Pico is not unreasonable.

Again, iBasso build quality is good, and the feature set is great for the price. The build quality of these others is simply better.
I must say that I find my D1 to be the most solid and tank like build portable amp I have encountered it's just big so the D10 was a no brainer just for it's size alone

Sounds like iBasso D10 is kind of a revelation in the portable amp/DAC so far.

Many (jamato8, HiFlight, HeadphoneAddict, myself, etc) have posted sufficient information so anyone who has follow this thread knows what a great unit the D10 is. It does need a good amount of burn-in, about 450 hours or so.

I should be receiving a mounted (thanks HiFlight) AD8066 soon and will see how it sounds w/ it instead of the AD797's.

I just modded one of my iHP-120 from HD to CF adapter-16GB SDHC. No more slow music access and mechanical noise. Now I'm waiting for my 32GB SDHC.

I haven't been able to finish my review because the darn thing continues to change past the 300 hour mark...

I will try it with the AD8066 this weekend, as well as with the AD8397, LMH6622/55, and if I still have my AD8656 then that too. I have an OPA627x2 on a small 2:1 over under I should try just for the sound, although HiFlight said battery life is bad. I do have a pair of AD743 on a 2:1 that wont fit with the case closed, but if it will fit with the case open I might try it.

I plan to have the D10 open all day Saturday trying opamps on HiFlight's list, I just can't remember about which of them that I sent away with the D1 - I think I gave up the stock ones, AD797, LT6234 and LMH6643 as buffers.
