Aside from that, the amp is very good and can hold it's own with some of the old standards here. Also, you can alter the flavor of sound to your liking by trying different opamps (some even supplied by ibasso).

On a separate note, you folks with the AD743/AD8616 combo...is it still your favorite....any follow-up observations now that you have more time with it?



I agree the D10 with a nice ipod, 256K or higher MP3 or lossless files, and a decent LOD can hold it's own with the best of them. Stock I think it sounds very similar to the RSA Predator, but with a better DAC.

With the AD743/AD8616 it sounds even better and reminds me more of the RSA P-51 Mustang. I still have the AD743/AD8616 installed in my D10 right now, which works well with my IEM and full size headphones (although I do have a little more background hiss with my IEM). I have thought about swapping the OPA2350 back in for the synergy and black background with my Westone ES3X, but then it is not as good with my HD600 or IE8.

I am also still on the 743/8616 chipset with my Ety's and no desire to do any more rolling.

I have a 2Move and a gold 325i. So...if you want to wait about 2 weeks, I can give you a comparison. The 2Move is a 3Move in an older casing, IIRC.

Hi to all,
I have recieved my D10 and using Sennhisers IE8s with an ipod classic 160gb and a LOD.
The issue i'm having is the hiss i get from the whole rig.

As a newbie here, can anyone tell me if there is a solution to the hissing problem?
I am playing mostly 320kbps music. But to be honest, I dont think i can tolerate the hissing as it really annoys me.
I have read that the problem is because of the low impedence with the IE8s and possibly raising the impedence with an adapter might reduce it. Does this sound right?
Sorry to sound ignorant but thats because i am still learning and hopefully some of you can help me with this annoying problem.
Hope this is the right thread for this question but could not find alot of info on this problem.
Thanks to all in advance.

Since the D10 is finally back in stock and I have just received my D-NE20 from Japan, I'm ready to pull my trigger on D10. But I have one question... Does opamp 2350/8616 comes with the D10? Or Do I have to buy it separately? if so, where can I get one?

Separately. The 2350 is a Dip style opamp (no adapter needed), the 8616 is SOIC, meaning you have to solder it onto a browndog adapter. If you don't want to solder, you can get it from Hi Flight
