I have lived a number of places around the world but wherever you go, there you are. Sure I knew where you are. Now get busy and get some of them there toads.

Toslink-toslink. The D1 also came with a coax cable.

OMG!!! this little thing rocks; running t via coax from my RME FF400 if this is what my portable rig is gonna sound like once I get the sysconcept, i'm wrapped even before I try with lisa. Blowing my mind with Juno reactor as I type.

a couple of things though; my front panel already had a small scratch on it straight out of the box on the face too. I dont want to pay to send it back and I dont want to be without it while I wait. have asked if they could just send me a new faceplate. I wouldnt mind so much, but the resale value took a hit even before I used it. I just sold my pico after having it for 7 months without one scratch, I look after my stuff.

also a more trivial thing. the mini to mini cable is one of the funniest things I think i've ever seen

bass impact is unheard-of for a portable through lisa... just tried now.

should really be burning in the amp, but the dac is so nice. pity I cant run-in the amp at the same time through my IEMs. the dac is still beaten by my RME, but so it should be at over $1300USD the DAC performance of the RME is above the D10, but the headphone out on the D10 is slightly better with low impedance HPs. the RME run to the lisa from lineout is superior, but for portable i'm very happy.

so far I like it straight out of the box, although it really did show quite marked improvements in the bass in the first 5-6hrs of burn-in. when I first plugged it in it was nice, but a little peaky and bass was a bit polite. but just now before I swapped to the lisa the slam was getting there and the rest was opening up a bit. still much better through the lisa though

Since this device also works as a usb soundcard, would you just plug your pc speakers into the aux out? How does it sound for people who are using it for both headphones and their pc speakers?

 

[nc8000]

I use it with my powered pc speakers when I'm in the home office. My speakers don't have a volume control and the Windows Vista master volume control dont work with the D10 so I plug the cable to the speakers in to the headphone out and so use the D10 as a preamp using the volume control on the D10 and it sounds very good and better than the D1 in the same setup did.

That's cool! I didn't realize the D10 would work with speakers.

So since my speakers have a volume control, I would just plug it into the aux out then? If you have speakers and headphones plugged in, would it just default to the headphones then or play through both? Thanks.

If you have a separate speaker volume control, then the aux out is the way to go.

Since the D10 has an internal automatic "switch" to determine the proper input/output to use, your unit may be confused by having the aux out and the headphone out both plugged in at the same time. You will have to try it out and see if it's a problem.

I thought that if both were plugged in, the unit would go to the aux out and turn off the headphone jack...?

it'll work with any thing that has a line level input, no way would it work if it had to amplify the speakers, but with anything that works under its own power then its all sweet. aux/line out is def the way to go for this though.

If headphones are connected they disable line out
