I'd like to know this as well since I've seen these adapters too! bump

Huh, only just found out about this. Interesting.

Now, is the Wolfson DAC in this a 16-bit DAC chip? The old Cirrus DAC in the D1 is a 24-bit DAC capable of up to 192kHz. That could be the one valid advantage of the D1 over the D10. That said, I never heard enough difference to warrant it in a portable.

This could be interesting, though. If the sound is good enough, I might consider trading in my D1 *AND* my Tomahawk in favor of a D10. I only really use the Tomahawk when I mow the lawn anymore, and even if I could get a nice, tiny TOSLINK cable (the Sys.concepts site appears to be down), the D1 is awfully bulky for that. Curious.

Keep us informed, jamato!

Weird, because so far the D10 optical is not embarrassed by the Pico DAC yet, and my Pico is better than my SuperPro DAC707.

Does that mean that the DAC also goes through burn-in, and it might degrade with prolonged use? I think it's the "yet" that throws me off.

Or you haven't tested it enough to make a definitive opinion yet?

What's the battery life like on the D1?

 

[tha_dude]

How does the D3 DAC compare with that of the D10 in terms of sound quality?

Haven't gotten that far - will comment in my review.

Have only tried it with RS-1, D2000 woodied recabled, and Westone 3 so far. Haven;t gotten that far yet since I wont review it till 300 hours or more.

Not tested enough to make an opinion yet.

The D10 USB DAC seems to be on the same level of the D3 DAC, and optical seems a little more detailed/better. The USB DAC is definitely better to me than the D1 USB. Only about 75 hours on mine and I am shooting for 300, but it sounds very good so far.

I get 10-15 hours on a charge but that is not with the stock chips, rather with a chipset I got from hiflight (forgot what they are)

My D10 has about 145 hours of burn in, using a coaxial feeding it from a Philips DVD player. The sound has continued to evolve, yes it has.

From yesterday till today the biggest change is in the more elegant presentation of the music. Including a bit wider and deep soundstage.

What amazes me is the level of detail that a portable amp/dac is delivering. Be advised that my comments are from an stock D10 being fed via the coaxial input and while connected to the wall wart.

I am impressed enough to have bought an iRiver H120 to use as a source. And believe you me I do not look forward to reading 30 pages of the iRiver manual plus another 160 pages of the RockBox manual.

I believe I will stop burning the D10 next Monday/Tuesday at the 250 hour mark and then work on the final impression.

So far very happy w/ its detailed, clear, and extended presentation. Also the wide and deep soundstage.

One area that at times I wish could be improved is the bass punch. I believe it could use a tad more, perhaps more burn-in or rolling other op-amps will help.

More to come.

Also, I'm not saying the SuperPro DAC707 is bad, but it is closer to the sound of the original iBasso D1 - and the D10, HR Micro DAC and Pico are all a little better.

I'm using my D10 as a DAC only at the moment. I was using an audiophile DAC with a sound signature that didn't suit me...and couldn't tolerate consumer equipment for that long. So I just wasn't listening to too much music.

All I can say is I'm REALLY enjoying headphone listening again after plugging the D10 into my rig as a DAC. I'm feeding it over USB(I just have to reach over to the other side of my bed for a SPDIF cable, but oh so lazy...and then I'd have to stop listening). Maybe I'll run it through its paces as a portable amp/dac in a few days once I get some time to set up its companion netbook. Hehe.

look like SuperPro DAC 707 is out for me although I can have it for a nice price here.
