    iBasso D10. .UPDATES 1st page, with Current Opamp Choices by HiFlight . . . images page 1, 12, 13, 14, 15, 21, 71

    Try the LT1355. 1 mA per channel of quiescent current and sounds better than two LME49710.

    I'm tooo curious about the OPA2822 (just received 5 of them) in my 12V DAC. It might turn out as the ideal solution, even. Adapters pleaaase coooome...
