Hey guys, just wondering,

Is there enough space in the D10 to fit a single x2 to dual Dip to Dip brown dog adapter?

moot point if rockbox limits the output anyway but here is a reply I received from Ibasso regarding its optical connection:

Thank you for your email.
The D10 has the WM8740 D/A chip, it can do decoding on 24/192. However, our equipment outputs 24/96 at most. We cant test the 24/192. Sorry about that.

I don't think that iBasso ever dreamed it would get involved with such a bunch of inquisitive audio "geeks"

But it should be worth it to them, if their sales exceeds expectations.

Then again, any company that is cool enough to provide the "average Joe" with a choice of chips to swap and even include the allen key, must have the foresight that this would come with the territory.

This opens new exciting horizons to our most beloved hobby.

Their customer service seems to have stepped up a notch since recovering from their New Year festivities.

Kudos to iBasso. A great product for a good price.

I agree, these kind of products for these prices, and with the customer service you receive (always received a reply to emails within 24hrs of sending) means Ibasso deserve all the success they get.

Now, onto another question.

Considering the reply from Ibasso above, if I wanted to connect an sacd player to my d10 optically, it means that I wont be getting to full sacd audio outputted will I?

In that case we know for certain the the H-140 is not outputting 24/192 since I'm using it with a D1 until my D10 arrives.

The way I read the reply they say that the chip can handle full 24/192 but they have never tested it as they don't have a source that can deliver it so they don't know if the D10 can

They certainly know how to feed the insatiable appetite of head-fiers for new portable audio toys. I can't wait for their version of an on-the-go DAP.

You will let us know when you received your D10, right?

I will.

Get this:

It took 17 hours from factory in hong kong to london

14 hours from london to manchester
and it will be tomorrow now when I get the amp which will mean it has taken over 24 hours to do the last 25 mile leg.

Britain is ******* and the sooner I get my degree the better, as I am out of this dump.

Do you have to pay import tax? My D10 was declared as a sample and therefore no import tax.

Except for the Emm Labs and some dCS dac/transport combos, I believe that most SACD players, such as my Esoteric DV-50, still output in PCM, so it wouldn't matter.

Jon...
Short answer...NO.
There are, however, a pretty good assortment of nice-sounding dual-channel, low voltage opamps that work well. Check page 30 of this thread.

No, it needs to be a stacked over under soldered SOIC onto the 2:1 kinda thing.

I was thinking you'd have to go DVD audio to be sure of getting 24/192, right?

No, don't think so anyway, the last dhl shipment I had evaded import duties, and this one has tried to be delivered already (so they say).. but they didn't, this is the second time ive had dhl deliver goods and the second time they said the same thing.

But I don't live in a rambling estate and can see and hear everyone who comes to the front door, not to mention my trusty canine friend goes off his head the moment anyone so much as breathes in the front garden.

so then, what is the advantage of sacd if they tend to output in standard cd quality?

I dont understand (wont be the first time)

Really? It would be a really good thing!
I send to them an email to ask about some their european dealer to avoid the import tax and they answered that they have one dealer in Uk but they export there just D2boa and T4
