Only the iHP-120/140 and HP-120 have optical out.

BTW, after this many hours I am still hearing good changes. I am surprised as I didn't think the D10 would have a long burn-in process and yes, I am comparing to other amps so it isn't my "head" doing the changes.

Are those dual platters, 8mm thick? The iHP-120, I believe, can only accommodate single platters, 5mm thick.

I've noticed that the D10 smoothes over mid-range detail a bit more than I'd like, at least with the 8656 + bypass, 4841-2 + 708s, TLE 2082 + bypass & LT1364 + 708s

Stock is probably the most balanced and neutral so far.

AD8066 was very detailed for me with better mids and treble, better in that regard than the 8656, but not quite as warm sounding. I need to play with that one some more (bought for my D1 a long time ago).

The AD746 was also very detailed, but I got some hiss with my IEM.

HiFlight says the AD8599 in the D10 is the best, and rivals or beats his iQube. I forget what opamps for buffers he recommended with that. I have one on the way.

PS: I have the AD8599 in my modded Stax SR-001 and it kicks butt.

I'd like to try that configuration, AD8599 opamp with the buffers. Where do you order them from?

They are dual platter and work in the H140. Someday a zif 120 for the H120 or a 128gb CF card with adapter for the H120.

H320 does not have optical out and yes it is a mod whereby the harddisk is replaced by an adaptor and a memorycard to get faster disk access and longer battery life. Seems only 32GB has been tried but I suppose 64GB might be possible

 

[jamato8]

The 64gb has been used also. Just waiting for the price to come down.

A reasonably priced 128GB CF is probably a year or so away.

I bought a 32GB SDHC Class 4 Qmemory at a pre-order price of $75. They just shipped it yesterday. Now it is at $99.

The 64GB Pretec CF card has been tried and worked. But it is a $399 mod.

 

[jamato8]

I didn't think I had any AD8599 in my stock but I do. I will have to solder it up and give it a try in a few days.

Yes the 64gb cards are still too expensive. I think the SD cards will be the way to go. They are much cheaper with a new specification SD card that has an upward storage of 2tb's. Now that is some storage but even one at 124 or 248gb would be fine with me.

I am not sure how many hours I have on the D10. I have run it 24/7 for most of the time I have had it but the sound has opened up even more. Unbelievable.

 

[JDUBS]

So, guys, has anyone confirmed that an H120 / 140 running Rockbox will / won't do 24/96 files (not down-sampled) into the D10? I saw some discussion early on in the thread but no definitive results.

Thanks,
Jim

 

[nc8000]

No I could not get a sensible answer from anybody at RockBox.org so gave up.

They sound so good I may actually abandon my PCM1793 DAC......and pours mud into my plan to acquire a D10.

It doesn't affect the optical line out result so i'll pass. But i believe H320 owner will be very interested

On a side note, how does it compare to imod? I find that even iriver stock lineout is better than imod 4G or 5G with BG.

Look like I'm about to find some Elna caps to roll my D10
