its just a 1,5k$ dacamp

Cheap and nasty! Like budget bog roll

It is used for the digital volume and also you push it in to go to the screen and make selections. I have never had an issue with it.

What is your suggestion than?

THX

Torben

It just means when the D16 battery is empty you can recharge it up to approx 80% with the LHY.

I've got no issues with it not working, but still doesn't explain why it has to wobble to push in for menu selection

How much does it wobble? Mine has some wobble, that would be the nature of a multi purpose switch like this.

I have maybe 1mm in every direction?

About this, maybe less. It's fine if that's what is intended, Ibasso know more than me about manufacturing. I was just wondering if there is a why.

I have seen this done on devices so that the switch as in this case can absorb a shock rather than breaking. And since this is a mobile device having something that can absorb a bump accidental hit rather than breaking is a good design. That's my opinion and that's also what I've seen on some devices that are portable.

I was thinking something similar. If the button is pressed over the course of it's life that wasn't a perfect straight push , it will eventually become loose.but if designed to wiggle, it will always wiggle.
I do love using the solid and intentional larger dial after using the small one. If feels good. I'm ignoring the crackle.

Won't work
You can connect your Kann Ultra only via USB to D16 and use D16 DAC-AMP
There's no analogue amplification option in D16.
You can check out PB5 for such a scenario

Let me understand difference. Dx260 can be connected via LO and USB but Kann can be connected via only USB.

No
DX260 is the same.
D16 is not an amplifier but a DAC with built in amplifier for its own converted audio.
Therefore you can connect it via USB or Coax from compatible sources.
For amplifying line out signals you need an amplifier like PB5

Did anyone try / own /some desktop DAC, better than the iBasso D16 Taipan?
Thank you

 

[Death_Block]

I'm sure there is plenty out there being desktop units. As far as portable though, that really narrows the choice down. Would be interesting on other people's preference in portable DACs they enjoy more

Thank you

there are much better desktop devices than it. my musician aquarius is better too.d16 is just one of the best among portables.

Could you please recommend me something, for about 1600-1800 Euro?
Thank you
