oh, you're a headfier, that's great. I really wonder how you earn money with 17 euros for a LOD...! Anyway, I'll recommend you're cable to my friend Cheers

Hi there, I'm looking for a cheap lod cable for a friend, but with good SQ as he has very good 2 drivers IEM from earsonics. Has anyone tried this cable? IPOD LINE-OUT-DOCK FOR HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER, GREAT DEAL! en vente sur eBay.fr (fin le 30-oct.-09 23:33:10 Paris) It seems incredibly cheap...

Hi Ron, Thank you for your answer, you're a gem! Cheers Pat

Hi jamato8, Sorry, I haven't read the 6 pages, but, did you test this mamba ? The D10, IMHO, is really weak on the USB entry. Is the D4 better ? Cheers, Pat

Dear Larry, I received the D10 + hiflight topkit. D10 amp is really very very good, the best I've heard, thank you for your advice! Concerning the topkit, there is a hiss with my UM1 but no hiss with a good dual driver (earsonics EM2-PRO). So I'll wait I have a better headphone to use it...

Thank you both for your answers. So I assume that on the D10, the amp is made of 2 buffers and one opamp and that you can either have one dual channel OR two single channel on an adapter board on one opamp IC... (but they would look the same, for a novice like me I guess...) is there a...

Dear Larry, I've just bought the D10, it's on at ist burn-in stage... I opened it to roll opamps and I have some questions for you: 1. I guess we can put the opamps up-side down, can you confirm me this ? 2. I guess the buffer is the item I encircled with a red row: Didn't find any topic...

Thank you tattoou2 for your contribution. In fact, I succeeded in listening to SR325, RS1 & GS1000 today with a Talisman T-3H and the Grado amp. I must say the difference on the GS1000 between the Grado (which is apparently known to be quite a bad amp) and the T-3H was surprising. On the...

It would be interesting to compare the D10 iBasso DAC to the iMod DAC as they have (if I remember well) the same Wolfson converter. Anyone has an opinion on that matter ? Otherwise, today I had the chance to listen 3 Grados (325, RS-1, GS-1000) with a Talisman T-3H and a good source with good...

Sorry, don't understand what u mean. It is this amp: http://www.headphone.com/pdfs/MaxedHomeManual.pdf ++

Hello, I have the opportunity to buy a Headroom maxed out for 300 euros (in france). I don't have the headphone yet but I think it will be the Grado 325 which I liked very much on the first listening (waiting to have the opportunity to listen to the RS1 & 2 to take a decision). I mostly...

Dear Larry, I envisage to buy a TViX HD M6500 with an optical output to store flac files. I'd like to improve the DAC feature. In output, I'd have either my naim nait5i amplifier + PEL Quattro (sorry, french stuff, didn't find anything in english about it...) or a corda XXS + earsonics...

Thank you for your answer. I made a synthesis of the specifications/price of these devices here: usb dacs - Google Docs some elements are missing, but I need to read your long post...! It seems obvious that nuforce is ideal for small purses and D10 for bigger ones It is funny to see that...

Hello, Is it possible to by-pass the amps for these products (especially the iBasso D10) to use them as dac only and plug the analog output to another amp ? ++

Hello HeadphoneAddict, Thank you for this wonderful review. I have a first price naim system at home, and i'm happy and broken... But i'd like to experiment listening to headphones. I bought a westone um1 to begin and would like now to have a good dac/amp for small price. Hesitate between...
