Thanks again for your amp help I'm on here irregularly and often can't finish a most helpful conversation.

First thanks to nc800 and EFN! I got one from erikzen here in Head-Fi. Next ...

Hard work and perseverance do pay off.

I told you to mention my name to erikzen

Congrats on getting what you wanted and needed, Miguel.

Yes Aaron I am very happy! BTW, in about three weeks contact me. I should be able to send your way the D10 and a couple of new Reference Boards to try plus the one you liked out of the last two. I hope you remember if it was the one w/ the red mark or the one w/ no mark.

Last summer 50 plus of new 120's were being sold on ebay that iRiver had let go from stock used to replace bad 120's. They went for around 150. It was a great deal for many people. It drove down the price of used for a while.

It seems like the ones that Head-fi members have gotten so far were sent pre-release (or actually live in Asia). Ibasso sent me a DHL tracking number last Tuesday or Wednesday...but five days later it still does not show as a recognized tracking number on DHL's site. I'm wondering what to expect as I have no idea when it will come...or if a delivery confirmation signature will be required. I guess the other issue is that Wisconsin has been below 0 lately and I would rather that the D10 not sit out in those temperatures all day. No replies from ibasso as I suppose they're on holiday. Anybody have any idea what I should expect based on your previous ibasso experience?

I have the same problem than you. I got the DHL tracking number from iBasso on Wednesday morning but still doesn't work. I live in WA.

It was the one with no mark. Check inside. It should be the one with my new batteries, not yours.

Mine worked right away. This is frustrating. I guess you guys have emailed iBasso. They are on vacation but hopefully they will check the email.

We need iPods with digital output! or just a Portable Source with a Digital output - this day and age and there is still nothing besides the iriver - disgusting.

 

[jamato8]

Many people are happy with low res audio MP3 files that can fit on the Nano with 20,000 songs. Why would they care about digital out? The money isn't there. I hope it changes though. Meanwhile I have a good stock of iRivers.

The unwritten law of Head-fi. Never EVER post an eBay auction which would most likely be the target of Head-fiers.

So yes, you will get more detail and warmth and soundstage, etc. Hope this helps, either way.

Interesting.. How could there be any (albeit negligible) difference between USB and, say, optical?

I was asking the question based on the statement from iBasso: "I think the D10 can beat any of our products if using optical or coaxial inputs". (link)

 

[kiwirugby]

I guess this is a question for someone like Ron, but for those of us with D1s that were opamp rolled (remember that whole string of posts about that?), is the D10 a must replacement for the D1 now (other than the size difference)?

I have my Sony pcpds with optical out going to a D1 and then to an iBasso P2 with ESW9s (recabled) and I am very happy.

Thoughts?

i suggest searching around ebay.co.uk for h140's i ended up with a good deal for an h140 at GBP60

40gb iriver h140 mp3 player - eBay (item 270333497209 end time Jan-21-09 08:36:41 PST)

I ordered on the 18th and it shipped on the 23rd. By the 24th mine made it as far as Ohio, so should be in Denver Monday and Colorado Springs Tuesday.
