Does anyone also have a Pico that they can compare to the D2? Also, which is supposed to sound better, the D1 or the D2?

The D2 sounds cleaner and better with a larger soundstage. All I can really say for now. The differences between similar amps are difficult to objectify. I think the D bass is perfect with IEMs like the FreQs. |

The D2 has VERY good bass/bass punch which I really enjoy compared to the D1 which was lacking it. It's also more liquidy sounding in the midrange IMO. |

I tried watching LOTR:ROTK, and during scenes where I know there's suppose to be bass rumbling (when the eye is destroyed and starts crumbling), there is very little. When I use my FreQs, the bass for the scene is great. There is that rumbling impact like in the theaters. |

I just watched some clips of LOTR: ROTK with the D2 and HFI-780. I never thought of the HD580 to ever give me a rumbling sensation. |

As the website of iBasso does not provide too much information, does anybody know, if charging over USB is possible (like the Meier-Amp's can do)? BR |
