I was just owned a D2+ two days ago and its sound great with my SE530. The sound is getting better after I burn-in the amp for two nights.

@junclj,

I also bought the D2+ yesterday. I now have this combo ( when the Ibasso arrives):

Cowon S9
Ibasso D2+
Sennheiser IE8
Cardas mini to mini ( the cheapest one

)

just let us know if there will be sound diff.

i already audition the D2+ boa before and i hear no diff with amp and no amp
using my old Zen and Ms1i. thats why i didnt buy. but now im still thinking to
buy the D2+ for my laptop and use as a dac, and maybe sometimes to be used
as portable amp

I guess its all relative. I used to have an integrated Accuphase E406V amp and an Accuphase DP55V Cd Player. One of those dudes from Accuphase shipped a $10.000 DAC to me once to audition at home. You could hear a difference definitely, but was it worth the 10.000 more???? No way.

I guess its indeed some kind of placebo effect. Had the same with my Siltech cables at home

With the hi end audio equipt, 5%of sound improvement, could cost 100% price higher, it is no strange.

Haven't had time to listen to it a lot yet. But from the first hour of listening: wow.
It even made my Nokia N900 sound great

I will update more if I have listened to it a lot longer.
I now have another worry lol : keep the Cardas HPI or change it to Moon Audio blue or silver. Any ideas on that one?

I'm looking for an upgrade to the T3, and I use TF10 and Shure 530. I wonder if D2+ Boa will be an upgrade or not. It's a hard decision - T3 sounds good for all iem's I've tried, and it's cheap, and most upgrades (Pico slim, Shadow etc) cost like $300 more than T3. Wonder if it's worth it. Anyone tried both T3 and D2+ Boa with iems?
