Hmmm... Did they send you an e-mail saying when it was shipped? 10 days would be more than enough time.

They did, they had shipped it the 28th. I have a tracking number for USPS but it doesn't seem to be updating

No worries yet...
It's coming.
I know you're dying to find out if you've got a bad battery, a bad battery connector, a bad charging circuit or whatever.
Meanwhile, the good news is that the PB2 is rocking on external power, just fine.
Did you get your Milian Acoustics SPOFC interconnect yet? (And did you order it with the Kevlar sleeve or one of his other offerings?)

Yes the same day I placed the order with Milian he was able to send the cable out. I love it and I think it's a great fit. I'm still waiting on my Mad Dogs to get back from BTG audio, I had Brian do a hardwire split to Hirose connector. I'll finally finally be able to test out my rig it's been months in the making lol

LOL! I'm so flattered, I'm going to start calling you Mini-Me! 
Just kidding - every purchase decision you're making is your own - we just think alike!
Nice pictures by the way! A top loading bag just makes so much sense!

It really does, it was kind of a shot in the dark with the bag but it happened to fit perfectly and it's great for bringing to work or around the house!

Absolutely! 
I spend a lot of time on my feet around the house, doing chores or whatever, all while wearing the LCD-2 with that gear bag hanging from my shoulder. I push it around to my back and loop the headphone cable around my neck a couple of turns - good to go. My wife says I look uber-GEEK, but hey, I'm dialed in. Excuse me while I enjoy my music on the move!

Didnt want to open a new thread so just wondering if someone can answer my query.
How do I got a bit more bass with this combo?
I got the BUF634P/OPA604AP in the PB2 and the blue opamps on the DB2?
I can roll opamps so skill isnt a problem but just wondering if someone has been able to get a bit more bass depth.
Battery life is not an issue but amp stability and protection is.

Let's hope we never run into each other on the street somewhere... We might be shocked to discover we're wearing the same clothes.

Listening to Adele on my PB2 -> LCD-2 at the moment. (She's slowly growing on me... and 21 has a lot of dynamics.)

Adele is pretty nice, love her voice. Think she was on the latest cover on Rolling Stones
The battery finally got to the states! it's at customs in NYC.

Soon we will know if the original battery is junk or if there's a problem with the PB2 charging circuit. Either way, it was nice of iBasso to send you a free battery.
Tick, tock, tick, tock....
