D3 Python and P2 Heron Arrive!

[energie]

how can u hate the d2?
d3 and d2 got the same hardware?
at least the dac is the same.

The chip is the same but there are changes in the circuitry. You can design an circuit around a fine chip and have it sound poor or use a different circuit and have that fine chip sound, fine.

I could put my turbo from my car into a truck and . . . it wouldn't be a sport car any longer. :^)

 

[energie]

sure but i dont think there are so big differences....

 

[mrarroyo]

I have the D2 Viper as well as the new D3. I have rolled many op-amps into the D2 Viper and it can be made to sound significantly better than the stock unit.

However, IMO the new D3 is a better sounding unit and one which will bring an smile to its users.

i would compare stock D2 boa silver with a D3.

D3 has 100 hour battery life, D2 Boa silver has 38 hours.

D3 has a line out DAC which makes it more versatile.

The implementation of the DAC chip can make a significant differences.

A number of people have expressed the opinion that the D3 sounds better than previous iBasso amps.
Of course that is just opinion, but, you did ask.

If you don't have the patience or inclination to wait for the D3 you already know what to do.

Do keep in mind that if you buy the D2 you will always wonder if you did the right thing, every time a fi-er posts about the glories of the D3 you will suffer in agony as if you had descended to the lowest levels of Dante's inferno.

Unless, of course, you are not a "true" audiophile

damn it you evilz

anyway my decision is all about the DAC function and relatives batteries

I didnt realize yet how both amps works lol
btw can the ibasso drive a 2.0 system? sy for the noob question :|

 

[skamp]

And if you buy the D3 you'll always wonder if you should have bought a Pico. And if you buy a Pico you'll always wonder what the $1,000+ Benchmark DAC sounds like. And…

It doesn't end. Refuse the inflation and buy the D2 Boa or whatever fits your needs. People here have praised it enough that it should sound awesome. Just because they say the D3 is "awesomer" now doesn't mean you should surrender your wallet and bend over.

thanks skamp

waiting is so hard for me :|
Took like a month for me to start my setup....was damn hard to find a new 80g ipod video and took 10 days to receive the shure se530.
10 more days for the LOD, now i'm only missing the amp!

What about the question on the 2.0?

Exactly what is your "2.0" system?? Knowing that, perhaps we can venture an answer.

some random 2.0 speakers like maibe creative t20.
Is a portable amp usually able to drive speakers>?

Those are active speakers, meaning, they already ahve a built-in integrated amplifier. All you need is a source from an iPod line out, for example.

 

[energie]

yea but what about if i use a computer as source?
i mean computer-usb dac\amp-speakers.

will this system works?

thanks

Yes, that will work , the D3 will act as a preamp to the active speakers with the advantage of the excellent D3 DAC

 

[energie]

yes that's what i wanted ho ear!
I just want to skip the noob integrated audio card!
You are the only one who ubderstood me lol
Thanks
