Yes they will be as they have to do all the service and support including the 2 year warranty required by danish law and cover the danish 25% vat and they would especially expensive for UK customers due to the poor pound exchange rate. Their price for the D10 is 2500 DKK which equates to abot $450 while buying it but directly from iBasso I have to pay $300 including shipping. However if the parcel get caught by danish customs I have to add 5% import tax, 25% vat and $25 handling fee bringing my total to $405.

I don't think they give order confirmations besides the PayPal payment receipt. I was hoping mine would be shipped by Friday, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen.

I purchased mine a week ago.

Just received a reply to my email and they say that my amp will ship monday. Then after some burn-in to compare it to the D1 and RudiStor XJ-03 but I'm almost certain that it is of such a quality that convenience will dictate that I sell the XJ-03, return the D1 to home office duty where it is usb dac and preamp for my powered Boston Accoustics computer speakers and the consolidate my travel tig to consist of the D10, H140, D-NE920 and SysConcept optical cable.

rung dhl this morning (closed last night)

shipment on hold, driver lied about attempting delivery, no failed delivery note left and me, dog and other family members in all day.

Too late to send it out today as drivers all left on their routes (conveniently, this occurs before the phone lines open) delivery will not be re-attempted until monday.

Needless to say I shall take 20 minutes out of my day to collect it in person and tell em what a bunch of "special" people they are.

Do you know, from the same consignment, amps left the factory and were in peoples hands across america within practically 24 hours.

The same amps left the factory and arrived in london within 17 hrs.

If I wait till Monday it would have taken 6 or 7 days to get the amp from London to just outside Manchester.

Hang your head in shame Britain, you're pretty piss poor.

Found the spec sheet for the Phillips UDA1380TT that is supposed to be the ADC/DAC chip in iRiver H1XX units.

24-bit data path for Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
and Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC)

Supports sample frequencies from 8 to 55 kHz for the
ADC part, and 8 to 100 kHz for the DAC part. The ADC
does not support DVD audio (96 kHz audio), only
Mini-Disc (MD), Compact-Disc (CD) and Moving Picture
Experts Group Layer-3 Audio (MP3). For playback
8 to 100 kHz is specified. DVD playback is supported

So if I understand this correctly the hardware in the unit should be able to handle 24/96 files

In my experience, when that's occured it's been caught by customs.

If the customs had stopped it I would have been notified of a customs charge, not an attempted delivery report.

It isn't clandestine, they are very upfront about you paying importation duties you know.

As it is, british arm of dhl obviously dont want to finish their deliveries if it is getting close to knock off time.
