D7 Sidewinder....Initial impressions
Feb 14, 2012 at 11:12 AM Post #286 of 680
These are kinda crappy—I don't have any good cameras/ lighting at home right now.
 

 
It's almost the exact footprint of an iPod classic. Very compact.
 
 

 
Simple layout and controls, same as pretty much every other iBasso. Notice the finish—it's a very pebbly/ soft finish, almost like velvet. Notice near the Gain switch how it's marked up a bit, right out of the box. This finish will be very easy to mark up.
 
 

 
Nothing to write about really.
 
The D7 includes a warranty card, extra screws for the chassis, two USB cables in different lengths, a pleather case and rubber feet.
 
I can't wait to really get listening to this. Impressions to come!

Thanks for getting some pics up! I had some trouble doing so last night, so didn't get to it. The pics capture the "matte" finish which I like (as you mentioned.)
 
I like the solid feel of the volume control.
 
Congrats and happy listening! I have some Jam Band music kickin' off Pandora beside me while I work, right now...

Hey, sorry about the ignorance, but how long does iBasso normally ship its products? I put in the order just over a day ago, but I received nary a confirmation of order from iBasso, except for the payment receipt straight from PayPal. Is this typical? Don't merchants usually thank people for purchasing their products, send you a receipt, yada yada yada? I find this lack of correspondence alarming.

it's normal. many received their product before the buying confirmation even showed up on their mail box.

That finish looks kind of like Nextel to me.  I've had Nextel finished audio gear in the past and it does show rubs pretty easily.  I prefer a traditional anodized finish personally. 
 
Does anyone know if the silver finish is like this too or is it anodized?

Anyone tried the D7 with the K701? I know it would be asking a LOT from such a small package but +/- 5v of voltage swing is pretty good...

I'm powering a pair of Q701's with mine and they sound great.  No harshness, sweet mids and plenty of bass.  They don't sound underpowered to me.

Not sure but I ordered a silver one so I'll post pics when I get it.

Most of the 'thank you' message you usually receive for online purchases are computer generated. iBasso's website isn't that sophisticated. Their emails are all manually typed. I like that as it gives you a sense of personal attention. They are considered super fast in reply already and there is nothing much to worry about.
 
I think that they have some of the best service reliability anywhere else in the world.

Yeah, while I know those messages are automatically generated, it is still really odd to not see anything at all after paying. It threw me for a loop. So not receiving anything at all for two days just means that they're busy, or should I send them an e-mail to politely remind them that someone ordered something?

They will know that you have placed an order. I haven't heard of any cases whether iBasso has actually missed an order, unless you are the first! XD
 
I never receive any confirmation at all. The only email I received was the tracking number.
