hmm, not looking for anything that spectacular.  I paid around 200 for the d4 mamba, so was hoping that something non portable of a similar sound quality would be around the same price or cheaper; or are portable amps cheaper than desktop ones?   How is the geekout 720?  There's one in the for...

Hey all; I currently have an iBasso d4 mamba, which no longer works via usb; so I can no longer use it as a dac (though still works as a portable amp for my ipod via 9v battery) That said, since it still works for portable, I figured I'd go for a desktop replacement. I don't know anything...

I had a d4 mamba from about 5 years ago that the usb connector went bad; so while I could power it with a 9v battery for my iPod, I couldn't use it as a DAC for my computer. I finally got around to sending it to iBasso and they repaired it. It plugs into my computer now, but the computer tells...

I've had an iBasso d4 mamba for a number of years and it's been sitting in my closet ever since the USB connector stopped working (the device still works when run off a 9v battery) Years later, I just upgraded my rig and I just ordered a pair of ath m50x headphones (which should be coming in...

So after many years of great use, my ATHm50 took a crap.   I was going to get another pair, but I've been using the apple ear pods for the last few months and I am so used to having the remote and being able to change songs from the headphones.  That said, is there anything out now that is...

Usually, I'd dismiss the idea from the get go, but amazon has them marked from 200 to 65 right now http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004Z57XPQ/ref=cm_sw_r_fa_dpd_ecV0rb0AGENGQ Are these worth 65 bucks at all?

Fair enough.  That aside, any competitors I should be looking at in the same price range when it comes to the earpods?  

Too expensive and using the amp, I get sound in both.  I was just asking if there was a way to get the earpods to work with the amp.  If the answer is no then I just live with it the way it is.  Getting a new Ipod isn't an option right now

Basically, I picked up some Apple Earpods from Target today.   Got them from Target because of their no questions asked return policy and wanted a chance to try it before sticking with them or getting something else.     I gave them a test run today and they're the first set of in-ear...

Will do Yay for amazon prime.  Looks like I'll be getting these on the same day my ATH-M50s come back from getting repaired.   Been using these Target headphones since September, it's about time I got my rig back up and running

Alright, gonna give L9 a shot

yea, I've seen the L9   Here's a visual though   My Ipod/Amp sit like this in my pocket     Even if it comes out of the side, i'm still going to have to bend it back/around to get it in the aux...   or do you think I'd be able to arrange that w/o much stress on the wire?

Alright, thanks guys.   Any opinions on that adapter I linked?

Well, the way my amp is designed the wire is always bent as far as it can go, so yea, they only last me 3-4 months each.   Since I put it on my bocket my ipod sits on top of my amp instead of being able to lay them out long ways where I don't have to bend the wire.   I guess they just...

I'm trying to look for a cheap LOD for my Ipod classic.   I've been through 3 Fiio L1 and one Fiio L3.   They don't take too kindly to being carried around in pocket.   How does the L9 fare   and how would something like this work?  ...

Ok, so when I first purchased my amplifier last year, I got an L1.  It worked for me for about 6 or 7 months.  I ride my bicycle around a lot so the amp/lod are always in my pocket during the time.   It came to the point where i'd have to wiggle it to get it to work and if the positioning...

Just curious, if you were to spend equiv money on a pair of headphones vs a pair of audio speakers, which would you get the better sound quality from?

YouTube - Will It Blend? - iPad

Nvm, ended up going w/ the d4. Thanks anyways.

How does this compare w/ the d3 python?

I was looking into purchasing a d4 mamba, I like what I've heard about it, but I just found a d3 python for much cheaper. I checked the Ibasso site, and they sell the two of them for the same price, so I figured, if the d3 stands up to the d4, then I'll just save myself a lot of dollars and go...

Well final bump, going to order tonight so I can have shipped tomorrow. Going to flip a coin if no further information arises on Udac and ibasso t3 vs ibasso d2+ boa

Looking to make my purchase in the next day or so. Any additional information would be highly appreciated. Edited op

yea, that'd be for my laptop and an amp for that and my ipod or a dac/amp for both So it's amp/dac vs amp and dac separately, not amp/dac vs dac

I think iBasso has LODs available (unless I read wrong). Also, any info towards the amp/dac vs amp and dac separately? Would want to know if getting a uDac and a $100ish amp would be better than getting a 170-200 amp + dac. Advantages, disadvantages? ect
