I have had my D10 for about a day now. ( I used it all day long hehe ) I really am enjoying it, but wish it had more power. I guess I listen to my music pretty loud.

btw, I'm driving puny IEM currently so it's not an impedance issue.

John, Mamba D4 or D10 sounds better to your ears? Or which is more worthy?

Or, just buy more. lol I buy too many more. I do reuse BG's though. I probably have 800 or 900 dollars in BG's in NOS just so I will have them. I may be low on the dollar figure. Sick I tell you, sick.

indeed I do, I do love the sound, dont get me wrong and I do enjoy it when I feel like a change, the soundstage is possibly a little wider and more organic, with a different kind of slam in the bass, but the resolution and imaging is superior on the D10, I wish I could mix the 2, but its not doable.

regarding reusing the parts, absolutely I do, but I need to buy another 2 of each for use in a balanced B1 buffer or the output stage of a COD PCM1794A dac. I could just make it single ended and use what I have. and the Bocchino tomcat RCA's will go to a good home. this dock was truly an exercise in opulence.

and yes i'm sick as well, we really need a DIYA where we all get together and talk about our affliction

 

[madwolf]

Then we could discuss TPA6210, Black gates, Silmic, bypass, till the sky comes down. maybe Kt88 and EL34 as well

Anyone can help me out, I have my D10 connected via optical on my PC, using foobar and ASIO can not seem to play 24/96 files..

Same here, I did not think the internal DAC could handle 192?

 

[vkvedam]

Nah! My D10 works perfectly out of my MBP optical at 24/96. I am not entirely sure about the foobar2000. It can handle 24/96 files perfectly.

I don`t know, which output you are using with foobar? I am using ASIO and I am getting this error "Unrecoverable playback error: The ASIO device does not support specified sample rate (96000Hz); please configure resampler appropriately"

I'm not using foobar. I'm configuring the spdif via windows.

And which player you are using? because if I use direct sound as an output method in foobar everything works...

Using Winamp.

 

[HeadphoneAddict]

The D10 does support 24/96 on the Mac, while the older D1 was limited to 24/48.

 

[Smirk]

So basically D10 is the best amp/dac combo below 300$?

That is if don't start rolling the opamp and buffers.
