Does anyone know what the current limitations are that are preventing 24/96 playback?

you need drivers to permit the bandwidth on usb 2.0. Benchmark, PS Audio, and a handful of others have it. Very few and most are 1000$+

I'm hoping that the technology trickle-down effect will be such that the proprietary wavelength converter will be available in a generic form for lower priced DAC's in the relatively near future. Hence the decision to avoid going all out on a USB DAC at this stage...

It's probably a couple of years off, though.

yes. to me the 8656 are too bright as buffers.

I wonder if they can license some from one of the companies involved with recording music. Even some of the most basic, sub $100 dollar usb interfaces can hit 24/96

As an example, M-Audio Transit USB | Sweetwater.com

Only $80 bucks...

has anyone tried their D10 with AKG 501?
Just want to know if they pair OK as I heard the 501's need good amp..

thanks.

I am thinking of trading away my highly modded balanced zhaolu 2.5 to get a ibasso d10 for my rig. Would be macbook pro > d10 dac > sr-71a > jh-13's and the d10 could double as a stand alone if I am on the go with my computer

Just as you said.

Thanks lots!

Thank you very much.
(8201 ordered

)

 

[hockeyb213]

man that is as good as I can make my portable rig for right now I am done after the ibasso lol unless the shadow or pico slim eventually makes an appearance and proves itself against my 71a :\

Sorry if this has been discussed (don't have time to read whole thread and can't find in search)... but has anyone had trouble receiving their amp after ordering it? I ordered via their site 8 days ago... got a paypal receipt, but haven't heard from ibasso... no confirmation... no tracking number.... emailed them twice and haven't heard back.

Very frustrating.

 

[Nosgis]

I didn't get a confirmation or tracking number either when I ordered. But I did get a tracking number when it had shipped, about a week later.

Support has always answered me within 24 hours by e-mail (on working days).

 

[hockeyb213]

Does anyone know what a good number is for burn in time on the d10? I would like to burn it in along with some other stuff when it pops in whenever I get it.
