Seems you will not have to worry about me bidding against you. The seller did reply that it was ok for me to bid as long as shipping went to UK but the way he has said up the auction eBay prevents me from bidding because my registered address is in Denmark.

Lots of people are looking for a USB only amp/dac combo second hand

Put it in the FS thread. I almost bought a D3 last year. Then I read that iBasso was working on the D10 with an optical and coax input. So I waited for it.

Damn, outbid

Oh well, I still have some iMod DIYing to do before I can afford both an iRiver and the D10.

So it ended at £49. Don't know if that is a good price ?

 

[jamato8]

It's an ok price. For repair and new battery it would have been a good buy at round 60 dollars or so.

Seriously, you should factor in at least $120 for an iRiver H120. Had the seller allowed for international bidding, I would have been happy to pay $100 even if it's partially faulty.

DIY iMod isn't cheap either. And you can also DIYmod the H120/140 as well. There's a guide somewhere.

Thanks for the tip. Luckily I've already got an iPod Mini from a friend and the caps are on the way. In reality I was going to bid near to $100 for it but was held up by my grandmother. Since I've already got a portable system that I can happily listen to I'm in no rush to pick up another iRiver to fix/CF mod. I'm simply intrigued to compare diyMod with Blackgates, diyMod with Sonicaps and iRiver optical connected to the D10 as I'm sure I'll find a use for each combination.

Has anyone who ordered a D10 on it's day of release actually gotten one yet? It seems like the ones that Head-fi members have gotten so far were sent pre-release (or actually live in Asia).

Ibasso sent me a DHL tracking number last Tuesday or Wednesday...but five days later it still does not show as a recognized tracking number on DHL's site.

I'm wondering what to expect as I have no idea when it will come...or if a delivery confirmation signature will be required. I guess the other issue is that Wisconsin has been below 0 lately and I would rather that the D10 not sit out in those temperatures all day. No replies from ibasso as I suppose they're on holiday.

Anybody have any idea what I should expect based on your previous ibasso experience?

 

[jamato8]

I would email iBasso, though they are on vacation.

I got mine shipped a couple of days after the release date.

I've already emailed as mentioned.

Kind of wierd as I ordered mine within hours of its release.

2 years ago, a couple of hundred 120/140's were being sold by a European liquidator for between $200 and $300. Why, because it was the last DAPs with an optical in/out and it's a damn good unit. $120, even if it needs a new battery, is a good deal.

On those lines...

If you mean compared the the usb out, then you will hear negligible difference either for the better or the worse.

If you mean compared to the headphone or line out, remember that both the optical and usb line out bypass the DAC and amp in your source, which we assume is inferior to the ones in the D10. So yes, you will get more detail and warmth and soundstage, etc.

Hope this helps, either way.
