I bought a Boa 24 hours ago, to add to my MINI-REVIEW SEVEN DAC AMPS thread, so I'll post how long it takes to arrive. I haven't heard anything from them, but they usually ship faster than they email with tracking or to confirm the sale.

I got my tracking number about 5 hours after the first attempted delivery. I know some people got the tracking number quicker by just emailing them to ask for the tracking number.

where can i find the p2? i looked around but couldn't find it.

 

[jamato8]

I don't believe the P2 is available now. From what I understand there will be a replacement.

 

[Zero000]

What is the Gain switch for? I know it can increase the volume a bit, but what is it used for?

 

[magma_saber]

I actually found a site that sells the P2 but its in Russian and costs around $230. Whats the replacement and when will it be out?

"What is the Gain switch for? I know it can increase the volume a bit, but what is it used for?"


Some headphones require more power to drive them, as in a higher current demand. With a gain control you can increase the output of the amp, to a point, but also at a cost of using more of the battery so the amp won't run as long but if plugged in it is of no concern. Also when using IEM's you often want to use the lower gain so you have more travel on the volume control, which gives you better fine adjustment to the output to your monitors. There also can be a slightly different sound when using different gain settings. You can experiment with this.

I would keep my eyes on the used amp section as 230 is a dear price to pay.

I don't know the release of the replacement. I know that iBasso has had slower release times because they are trying to access the highest quality in parts that they can and this often means purchasing from the US etc.

 

[HeadphoneAddict]

iBasso emailed me on their own to say I should have it in about 3 days. I didn't ask for tracking.

I took the plunge into buying the boa. Now i have a couple questions..

My players are a yp-p2 and a sansa clip. Would these players benefit from the boa?

Does this pair well with:
RE2
SR80's
pk3

If not, i might be selling these to get a better headphone/earphone that would benefit greatly from this dac/amp. I've been looking at the re1/pk1 lineup so far.

I get better results with both my PK2s, and SR225s, I use my iPod Classic with LOD with my PK2s, and with my laptop using apple lossless files with my 225s, that where I get the best sound out of all of my equipment. All with my Boa of course. I think you made a good choice for the money.

How is the DAC quality of the Boa compared to other quality portable amps?

 

[boodi]

AFTER 100hr burn in sound is gettin better -
as usual sound is under construction ..

would have to say no words and get back in 500hr at least , I'll say amp is cooking more revealing and all in all more nice sound , getting less plastic , bass coming in more defined

 

[Tomikans]

ahh i just got my tracking number, but it seems that "No record found for this reference number." .. ahh hmm that's weird. Hopefully they just gave me the wrong number or maybe i'm just checking too soon.

 

[plumpcheek]

I ordered Boa at 4th July and received at 8th

very fast shipping tho, burning it right now. Anyone know what Op-amp Boa use?

That's what my number always shows for a while. It takes time to update but the number was always the correct one.
