My suggestion is to pick the DAC/amp combo, for the price difference is small and you will have two functions for using in case needed.

john, I know you are involved with the development team as an advisor with ibasso, but these jack problems are/were not 'little ways to improve' they replaced the jacks they were using as a response to many people having problems with them. there were even a couple of threads started specifically relating to this problem. and several people who had the problem within a very short time of owning the amp. i'm glad yours is still going strong, but for many people this is not the case. I wouldnt go as far as saying its a common problem, but its certainly not uncommon. kudos to ibasso for being willing to try to fix the problem, in the end it will work out cheaper for them as well.

looking forward to the D10's return; I put off modding it in case they wanted to replace the amp wholesale. I forgot to replace the stock opamps too stupidly, so I hope they realize this. seems the ibasso server is blacklisted by my internet provider and many of my emails get bounced back. keen to get the blackgates in there when they get it back to me, so I guess my warranty will be void anyway ;P

I recieved my D10 earlier this week. So far I will actually say it is a great amp/dac for it's SIZE but not nessearly for its PRICE. But, time will show.

I had hoped it would sound more analog and with a little bit more power.

So over to my question; any need to start changing the opamps or the dummy buffers included in the package??

 

[jamato8]

Change is up to you. I like the stock setup but I also believe it needs a few hundred hours of run time to smooth out and for bass to totally come in. Then maybe I would play with the opamps because you would have a handle on the sound.

 

[adiZero]

Yes, I guess Burn-in will help.The D10 sounds good, don't misunderstand me, but I hope it will improve further....

 

[HiFlight]

I agree totally with Jamato! Use your D10 stock for enough hours to allow yourself to become familiar with the native sound as well as to give your device enough time to fully mature.

Guys, I'm considering to buy a D10, but could you first have a look at my question here?
Basically, does a good soundcard (such an ASUS Xonar D2X) alone would be better than the D10?

 

[Hawaiiancerveza]

Could someone please give me a link to buy a good coaxial cable for the ibasso d10? If its possible a coaxial that terminates into a mini plug... or please post up a few pics of how the ibasso d10 looks with the coaxial cable.
Thanks

I just ordered mine, guys.
I'm now wondering what setup would be better, and why:

1. Asus Xonar D2X Coaxial >> D10 >> HD595
2. Motherboard USB >> D10 >> HD595
3. Motherboard optical input >> D10 >> HD595

From what I understand, optical is better than USB, but using USB would make the D10 act as a soundcard (and optical would not). That's right?

Thanks.

 

[HiFlight]

Optical input and Coax inputs theoretically provide a higher audio quality than USB. Whether you will be able to hear the difference is a question that only you will be able to answer.

I've been looking at the D10 for a bit of time now and I'm trying to decide whether it's worth my purchase. I posted a thread on the Computer Source forums (http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f46/lo...ceiver-442696/) and it seems like something along the lines of the D10 would be my ideal.

I plan on keeping my HD555's, Phonak PFE's, SR60's, and purchasing a pair of DT880's or K701's to have something I like to think as a pretty well rounded entry level set. Will the D10 pair well with all of these using the DAC/Amp combination? Thanks for your time.

I find coax to provide better air and detail when compared to optical and USB.

Reinku: I think other headphones will perform better than K701 with D10, I dont feel the D10 has quite enough drive to get good bass performance out of them.

great little dac though and good value for money too IMO
