Hi -
I wonder if anyone has had a similar problem? The OEM AC adapter that came with our iBasso D1 (bought modded from Ted Yun two years ago, a versatile little audio champ) abandoned a prong inside an outlet. That was a bit shocking (morally, that is).
Should I bother telling iBasso rather than just replacing it?
In addition, the D1 lost the ability to recharge its batteries following a static discharge to its case a couple of months ago. It ran fine off its (late) adapter with the LED stuck on red. Does anyone (like the poster here) know whether a repair would be affordable?
It does sound remarkably good using its optical Toslink connector, even compared to an Apogee Duet fed over FireWire (comparison made using the same Mac Mini and a pair of AKG 701s; 16-bit, 44.1 kHz WAV files played through iTunes, with Audio MIDI settings to make iTunes run the files as is). Ted and other posters here really did a great job on the IC substitutions (L/R: OPA2111; Buffers (x2): LM4562; DAC L/R: AD8656)...
Thanks in advance for any input,
Phil
PS - Speaking of sound, I am still amazed at how good 4G iMods sound with RAS amps (SR-71 and Hornet) driving AKG 701s. Even with FutureSonic Atrios, they are still quite listenable.
