I've just recently received a second hand D2 Boa... impressions so far are it sound decent (better than my Total Bithead) and it built quite well

Hi Guys. Have a question.
Since my Boa on burning stage, the battery is bussy 24/7. And some concern is coming to my mind. I know 500 recharge times it's alot but... you know

So, I found this one:
Polymer Li-Ion Battery 3.7V 950mAh (601752) with PCB Cut off (3.5A)(Custermize) - TEN601752
Is it will be siutable for a Boa for future replacement?

Does anyone have a BOA and DT880's? I have been considering this combination and I am not sure how the DT880's will pair with the Boa. Any thoughts?

at 24/7 the Boa will run for like 2.2 years before it needs a new battery not to count that when charging it runs off the USB so make it 2.5 years if you kept it going 24/7.

For battery Q's i'd email iBasso.

I agree with you looking ahead in terms of lining up a replacement battery. My boa lasts an amazing 40+ hours on a charge and that times 500 is a number that is probably as long as I will want to keep an piece of audio equipment. Everyone sites the 500 cycle life and that is accurate for 99% of all lith ion batteries. But there are still the 1% that suffer premature failure for one reason or another. I have actually had it happen on a laptop battery.
The only 3 variables that matter with lith ion batteries are the mAH, the voltage, and the interconnect. To safe the mAH and the voltage should match exactly. With less sensitive devices you can get away with having he mAH higher but I would not try it with a headphone amp. The hardest one to be sure about is the interconnet where the battery cable plugs in but I suspect that ibasso uses a pretty standing interconnect or none at all. If the battery simply snaps in place, then it should be no probem.

Buying the D2 was a no brainer in terms of bang for the buck in a DAC/AMP. The hard part is deciding on a mini travel netbook/notebook to go with it. The netbooks just seem to expensive for what you get considering you can buy the atom/mb assembly for $66 and a 6 cell Wind is going to cost pretty close to $600. A well equipped 4 lb 13.3 inch Dell XPS is $1100 or a 12" 3.6 Lbs Lenovo is around $800 If weight isn't an issue you can get a refurbished 5 lb MacBook for $900.

I' kind of leaning towards more processing power to be able to convert raw images from my camera

Anybody have any thoughts or know any good deals on net/notebooks?

my hp dv2000 series ( 14' , anyhow very small and practical ) is excellent . I wholeheartly advice you look into it , but we're off topic here ..

Posted my Boa back to iBasso on July 22 to fix the headphone jack. After an e-mail enquiry I was told it hasn't arrived yet - should only take 4-6 business days so it should have been there more than a week already. Hopefully it turns up soon...

The Boa is out of stock -.-

There is a very good reason for that. The D3 is on the way

 

[clixer]

REALLY???

There's gonna be a D3? Okay

Then I'll wait with my purchase

Any info on when it will be available?

 

[jamato8]

Shortly from what I have read.

 

[clixer]

Is there a place, where I can read about the upcoming features of the D3? O could anybody tell me? Will the costs be the same? or will the new model cost more?

Thanks in advance

^^

I too am in the market for a D2 Boa to go with my newly purchased DT770/80s. I'm jumping headfirst into the world of hi-fi headphones so I figured I'd need a good amp. I was also considering the fact that the new 2005 770's sound better but need an amp to power them so I might sell the 770/80s if they don't do it for me. Anywho, if there is a new version coming out would it be wise to just wait it out?

Anyone side by side the Boa with the Headsix? I have both on my desktop right now and have been A/B-ing them with my MS2i Alessandros. I'm hearing a bit tighter, more detailed and deeper bass on the Boa and just a smidge of a veil on the highs, although the latter seems to be a stretch. The Boa only has 17 or so hours on it so it is not burned in.
