Its a beautiful piece! What are the dimensions on it? I'd love to get my hands on them and stack them with the D14 if theyre of similar dimensions. Would be a handsome iBasso stack

haha... did u just jump here after i mention it?
 
beautiful isn't it?
 
and it can do amp rolling...

I've been sorta following up on it every few weeks. You gave me a gentle reminder as to see what the latest news on these are 

 
 
I also completely did not think about pairing it with the D14 for some reason... until now of course haha

 

[privilege15]

Unfortunatelly iBasso is dead silent about P5 regardless my email to them about the worldwide release date but at least I came across how the packaging would look like.
 
The following shots are from a chinese retailer (click the image for better resolution):

Looks quite nice!

I talked to paul about it. He just says soon. Not sure why theres a such a delay with the international market. Maybe production of them is slow?

 

[privilege15]

It seems to me this delay is intentional due to D14 launch. I bet they are waiting until first sales of D14 are done first. Otherwise I don't see the point launching two products at the same time from marketing point of view.

 

[Paul - iBasso]

We are working on final tests and refinement. I would say the P5 is done now. Both the P5 amp and PS are CNC and do take longer to make. The fit and finish is second to none. It may sound biased but I assure you when you see the cases and then hear the results you will be amazed. We are happy with the total package. I think when the case is seen it will be a wow moment. A few more days.

Ill leave this here.

Not sure if the specs have been posted anywhere... im a little too lazy to check.
 
but here they r from facebook:
 
The P5 Amplifier and Power Supply.

Power Source：Dual 9V batteries or P5 PS.
Frequency Response: 16Hz~80KHz /-0.2dB.
Signal to Noise Ratio：-121dB (A-wt.).
Crosstalk: -72dB@32Ohm.
Total Harmonic Distortion: 0.0018% (with 32Ohm loading).
Output power: 660mW+660mW into 32Ohm when powered by 9V batteries, or 1000mW+1000mW into 32Ohm when powered by the P5 PS.
Bass: 0dB/+6dB at 100Hz.
Gain: 0dB/+4dB/+9dB.
Battery Life: Depends on the OPAMP and BUF combination.
Battery Charge Time: 8~16 hours with the P5 PS.
External Power supply: +/-15V.
Recommended Headphone Impedance: 8~300Ohm.
Case dimension: 73W x 123L x 24H (mm).
Weight: 201g

Why do I have different numbers regarding output power taken from official page here: http://www.ibasso.cn/content/?29.html
 
"P5 Test results: 
Battery output power (buf634): 300mW / 16 Ohm, 380mW / 32 Ohm, 100mW / 300 Ohm, 60mW / 600 Ohm 
External power supply output power (buf634): 330mW / 16 Ohm, 450mW / 32 Ohm, 120mW / 300 Ohm, 70mW // 600 Ohm"
 
And what do 660mW+660mW and 1000mW+1000mW numbers mean anyway? It's a rhetoric question, I know what they mean but I would understand this kind of representation if it were a balanced amplifier. Since it is not balanced this representation seems a little weird to me. Wouldn't it be more meaningful to write something like 1320mW with battery and 2000mW with external power supply?

It is a very beautiful device. This is something for listening around the house, semi portable. I need a DAC in a similar form factor.

 

[audionewbi]

Will I be able to use a pair of OPA637SM in it? I love portable audio and this just seems too good to be true, plus the added external PSU for a performance boost and the fact that ibasso always delivers at more than a reasonable cost, I just can't wait. 

 

[privilege15]

I've already ordered another MUSES01 opamp for P5.

 

[audionewbi]

I got the muses01, it is super clean so I look more of a smoother sound of 627 with improved treble which is what is said to be offered by the opa637sm/opa627sm.

 

[howdy]

wonder how this sounds stacked with the DX90? im sure the dimension are similar. So if it takes 8-16 hours to charge how long does it last?
