Which amp for IE8 - ibasso D4 or D10? To go with 160 iPod classic playing lossless... Has anybody had either one of these set ups (or.both) and care to comment.

I have been a spectator on this forum for such a long time, it is only fitting that I enter with a very specific question to you all.   At the moment my listening pleasure comes from: macbook pro (lossless and wav file) >>>ibasso d10 (dac only) >>>sr71a  >>>325is   ok, thats not...

Hi there guys, I'm new here so bear with me! Like the tittle says could anybody pair a good amp for a sub 600$ budget for my new cans: Denon AH-D7000. Only 7 hours broken in but they sound good off of my X-fi Elite pro but I want like to push these as far as I can. Thanks alot, -Cole-...

Hello! This thread is a spin-off from a similar post initiated by D10 users in regards to the flexibility of the unit in regards to rolling op-amps/buffers. My goal for this thread is to discuss any/all alternative modifications for the D10. As with most people, I spent about $300 on this...

Need to play from my mac (hence would like dac) but also as a portable amp occasionally (when i far to walk/bus journeys/holidays/loing car trips etc) but not for just walking to work, as it isnt far enough :D   also anything similar to this?   UK prices (new and shipped) VCAN = £60...

Hi there, this is my first post on this forum and am new to this headphone and external amps thing. I just purchased an iBasso D10 Cobra "mostly for portability, laptop and ipod-touch and HTC Incredible", I also bought a pair of AKG K702's after reading all the rave reviews, now my question is...

Hello guys this is my very 1st post on Head-Fi forum and I have a favor to ask. I am currently using a iBasso D10 amp along with my iPod Classic 6th Gen, now I'm thinking about getting an Apple remote control because it is always kind of inconvenient to reach into my backpack to skip a song, and...

Hi,   I'm interested in getting an amp for my Grado RS1, but I want to be able to bring it around. I also use Shure 420s, and I'm not sure if an amp will improve it much. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would like to spend less than 200, but I'm will to go up to the 300 mark if need be. ...

I am looking for an amp/dac which has optical input so I can it use with the optical out of my Playstation 3 for games and movies. My 2 options seem to be the iBasso D10 (NZ$386) and the Firestone Fubar IV (NZ$499) - I don't need it to be portable. I've heard good things about the D10 but was...

I like to listen to classical, New Age. What SENNHEISER IE8 good portable headphone amps?

on an ipod touch, i do listen to music on my computer, and i got optical out ( been looking at d10) d10 is like 30 bucks more, and at the moment only d10 is available. I would be listening using shure 440's, and also looking for some IEM's that are in the ~0-100 range (just have some 30$ jvc's...

I have a Sansa Clip+ which I am quite impressed with.  Its paired with SA6 IEMs which I love for many reasons.  One being when I listen to music its through studio monitors which is a sound I am accustomed to and I love how the SA6 is accurate and flat and still manages to be musical and...

Hi Recently I bought myself a Cowon V5, which has a digital out. Well the problem is that, when plugged in my D10, there is a strange hiss every 4-5 seconds. It is freaking me out. I do not know what to do. I tried my D10 with another spdif out and it worked out well. So everything should...

 I am desperate for a currently produced high quality (audiophile or profession) \*\*portable\*\* CD player with a line out jack so that I can hook it up to my Ray Saunders Protector headphone amp and my Ultrasone headphones for proper listening.  Any suggestions from anybody?

I have posted on some other threads about this and want just a good consensus. I'm running the iPod dock analog out to the aux/input to an ibasso d10 and those to beer dt990/600s. I'm not looking for perfection but good sound quality. I've gotten the best quality out of each song that I am aware...

Has anyone compared the two? I'm leaning towards the arrow due to crossfeed, variable impedance matching, and high power ouput. Anyone care to give a comment, as a review seems scarce of the combo.

Having recently upgraded to some Grado Sr325is'...and very happy about it mind you - I'm considering a potential upgrade in the Amp/Dac area. I'ver taken fellow head-fi-er's advice about upgrading the source files (lossless) and have truly noticed a huge difference and have been diligently...

Hi, Im want to buy dac+amp for my grado sr225i as i told in the other trade, the price has gone more then twice the original and heres the finnal competitors: 1. nuforce udac+ little dot i+= 250$ 2. mavrick d1=250$ 3.audinst mx1=180$ 4. asus essence stx= 160$ 5. second handed ibasso...

The title said it all. I'm "interviewing" for an amp/DAC combo piece with S/PDIF (optical) to use with my iRiver H140. I am interested in the Leckerton UHA-6S and the iBasso D10. I'm looking for top drawer sound (or right up there), and it would be nice if it had the synergy with the ER-4S's...

After some research on the Rockbox forums, I decided to start looking at the code to see what the limitations were on the digital output.  This lead to me wonder, just how many people are using an H1x0 player as their source, using the digital output?  The Rockbox developers think there aren't...

Hi everyone,   I wish to soon upgrade from my Sennheiser HD595 to the HD650. I'm currently using an iBasso D10 and I believe it wouldn't be sufficient to power up the HD650. I would prefer to start by replacing the D10, so what would you suggest?   Should I keep it as a DAC and get a...

I have been using my new laptop (Lenovo W510) as my primary source for listening lately.  The sound quality is not quite as good as some of the Apples I have had in the past, so I thought I might try a DAC to see if it improves anything.  I need a unit that is somewhat portable.  I know the pico...

Has anybody experience both DACs?  The D10 D/A conversion weren't to my liking.  Can someone that has experience both hardware, give tell me how they compare?  Which you favor, and why?   I just realize that they cannot be compared when it comes to features because gamma1 is a dedicated DAC...

I think i kind of know the answer , but... does it even worth keeping the D10 ??? The headphones i have are DT-880 pro/990 pro HD600 ( may get a 650 later)     should i even bother keeping the D10 ??? ( i don't even bring it out anymore. as i just use the fuze(sandisk) with the...

The D10 is out! With optical in, Coax in, amp only, dac only or both, a run time of 20 to 30 hours and this time, gain control, it will offer many features on the fly. Sockets, so you can roll opamps and a kit with opamps will come with it. There are a few sensitive chips so always ground...
