Hi,   So it has been years since I've been here. Like 6? I am still loving my shure SE500 IEMs (or whatever they are called, like I said, it has been awhile).   Anyway, I haven't used my D2 viper in about 5 years. If I remember correctly it gave me some issues and then the LOD broke and I...

so any opinions on the links I posted? Thanks for the info on the copper and silver!

Mine broke today. Merry Christmas! So I found four I'd be willing to purchase. this one - Ultra Copper LOD this one - Elite Pure Silver Cryo LOD this one - Qables Silvercab and this one - Qables | High Quality Custom Made Qables Which one would you choose keeping...

Awesome. Thank you so much!

Thank you. It's not the reading the .ape cue files that is a problem. I can do that with foobar2000 too. I want to then extract them (convert?) them to .ape form so I can then convert that to ALAC using another converter. I could convert the files to .wav but I would lose all my tags besides the...

I understand that but when I try to convert them to .flac I have to show it the .flac file. These files are .ape files so I can't select any of them when I do .flac. I want to add another option to the converter and I don't seem to be able to do that.

alright. well for the life of me i can't figure out how to install the extra components. I want to install the .ape file type and the ALAC file type and I can't select it as one of my options...any ideas? it's in the components folder...

Hey, I have been using Foobar2000 for awhile now. I extract the files, then I convert them to .wav form. then apple lossless form and put them in my itunes library. I have a lot of boxed sets like this and I'm realizing that Foobar2000 does not keep the track tags or the artists tags. Just he...

Thank you! for a change it was as easy as I hoped it would be!

Hey, Is this common or correct or fixable? My D2 Viper won't work with my MacBook through the usb DAC. For whatever reason, I don't know. Is this supposed to happen and it is only compatible with Windows? Or do I need to do something within my computer? It's the brand new Aluminum MacBook...

yeah i don't think it's the battery. could an opamp gone bad or something? would that effect the blue light not turning on?

Hi, My iBasso D2 Viper is not turning on, for whatever reason. It worked all day yesterday and when I went to use it it no longer is turning on (the blue light stays off and no sound is coming through it.) When I plug it in it says it is charging and when I plug the USB in that light lights...

hahaha my ears are fine. I never actually have it all of the way up. In that song though, it's a quiet part in the orchestra so I can turn it all of the way up without hurting my ears at all. but I never actually have it all of the way up when I'm normally using it. I get hiss even when I...

So, I take the time to re-rip, re-download, and convert all of my 18,000 songs into apple lossless format, buy se530 earbuds, by a LOD, a ibasso d2 Viper amp, and the opamps to go along with it. Burn it in for over 300 hours. And I still get static caused by the ipod! What the heck am I...

Hey, Well I figured out, as others have, that when the amp is charging and you are using the USB port to use the DAC through your computer you get static as you turn the volume up all the way. I read the mod (about scraping paint off) and I will do that to take care of this but my problem...

Quote: Originally Posted by roxxor Yes do share please. I also had crackling issues with my Viper. A simple reboot of the computer fixed it. Go figure. Haha, well now i'm going to feel like an idiot. It had nothing to do with my amp. My se530s were actually the problem" Where you...

Quote: Originally Posted by HiFlight Most of the noise related to the volume is due to the characteristics of an opamp, usually the one in the ground channel. I have found a couple that nearly eliminate this aggravation and still sound very good, better than the stock ones. Of course...

Hey, So I let my viper burn for 300 hours and am now listening to some lossless music through my ipod and into my se530s. Well an acoustic guitar comes in and it starts crackling! I have no idea what is going on. It doesn't crackle when I just play it without the amp but for some reason I am...

Hey, I recently bought an iBasso D2 Viper. And I love it. It's been burning in for over 200 hours and it's great. My only pet peeve is that when I don't have any music playing and I turn the volume knob, once I get to a certain point it starts to get staticy BUT only when I'm turning the...

So no one has any answers? That'd be something I haven't experienced yet on these forums.

Hey, As the title states, you guys have any interesting and tried and true ways to keep it as together as possible? I'm thinking a rubber band or one of those LiveStrong type bands. What about you guys? Pictures would be awesome!
