Well the D10 is sounding very articulate. By this I mean the the music is beautifully controlled and yet allowed to flow. The bass notes in no way get involved in other frequencies and go deep and tight. The highs are clean and detailed.

More time is needed as I want to have the unit fully formed/burnt-in before I go on and on in either a positive or negative way. As for now I am impressed. I have not even been missing my Woo 6 and I love tubes.

I am still using the default opamps but am itching to try my favorite AD8656, which are the same that I use in the Xin Mini.

Fantastic!

I think I am sticking with the AD8656/bypassed buffers configuration for awhile. It sounds great.

Nice pics! Can't wait for them to return so that I can place my order.

I just switched to that about 10 minutes ago. No comment yet. I do like the default opamps. What else have you listened to or compared to?

Yeah, the 8656 sounds great. Guitars on many Grateful Dead live albums is stunning.

There is a semi defictive H120 (seems it needs a new battery) going at UK eBay at the moment. Current bid is about £6.

IRIVER IHP120 H120 MP3 PLAYER 20GB - FAULTY H100 iH100 on eBay, also, MP3 Players, Consumer Electronics (end time 25-Jan-09 18:18:34 GMT)

So it's confirmed that the D10 will be (is!) charged through the USB port, right?
That means it can be used while being charged

Anyway, how does using optical cable make any difference to the SQ? It's just digital data, it's not like the cable can add warmth or detail or something.. Right?

Spank me if my question is off-topic

Hey thanks for the link buddy. I think this can be a great candidate for mrarroyo. I can fix the player for him because I do have spare stock battery and CF adapter. From the description, the problem with the headphone out is easily fixable/replacable for DIY junkie.

EDIT:
The seller does not ship overseas. UK only. So this may not work after all


Too bad

My mother-in-law lives in UK so I could probably bid for it and have it shipped to her. I have just emailed the seller asking about this.
I can't use it myself as all my music (>100 GB) is in 320kb aac.

With that length of cable, are you able to put the amp and h140 together at the center?

Where is Larry, we haven't heard from him on this thread for a while now. Is he busy with burning the midnight oil over the D10?

You were only trying to help

It would suck being in a bidding war against another Head-fi'er though since sound quality is worth a pretty penny.

Thanks again for your amp help

I'm on here irregularly and often can't finish a most helpful conversation.
