I'll be home in an hour, and will let you know the size.

Whiny posts? these threads are for entertainment, your criticisms are getting a little heavy. Give it a break.

We are looking for information, not lots of questions that are trivially expected. If you want to know if something works well with something - find someone who has both and ask in a PM (or ask to post about it). The junk posts take up considerable reading time.

I understand but when you give a blanket statement like you offend everyone who has posted, maybe I shouldn't take offense. sorry for being off topic.

I disagree with that, because then I have to answer the same question 20 times in PM for questions that should poted and answered for everyone to see.

Has anyone attempted sending 24bit files to the Viper? I would love to use the box for my PC rig but need 24/96 for my own recordings. Thanks!

Yes, I do agree with that Larry, but can you see my reasoning that those questions are also posted in the other thread 20 times and answered 40 times? It's really up to the mods, and if they see fit to combine, then I hope they do it.

Maybe you are taking my comments a bit too wholeheartedly, and I see no reason to attack me. I wanted to point out that there in fact are whiny posts in the other thread. I may have hinted a bit of negativity in my wording, but I did not mean to criticize it. I am not afraid to say that I have done the same thing at times myself. My point in making this thread was so that there could be a funnel of real information for those that are looking for concrete impressions, instead of browsing through pages of people asking when their tracking number is going to work or saying that theirs doesn't work or that iBasso isn't responding to their e-mails. I just browsed through the last few pages, and those posts are a majority. If you want to interpret my comment as regarding every single post in that thread, then by all means, interpret away. Plus it has nothing to do with this thread, so I'll just hope that this just ends here.


Regardless, my D2-Viper has 50 hours of burn in so far. I feel like the stock D2 has turned from a warm amp to a more neutral amp, at least in my opinion. I'll post more later.

I thought this was like most of the other USB DAC and you feed it 16 bit. I don't know of other 24 bit USB excepting the DAC1 which can take 24/96. I think this upconverts to 24/96, but now I am not sure I ever saw anywhere that it said that. It uses the same chips as PICO, so don't both of them take 16bit USB and upconvert? Neither one should be 24 bit native.

I'll be posting my 24 hours impressions tonight.

I managed to open up the D2. The screws are actually proprietary Torx T6s. The driver cost me $5 at the Ace Hardware

Pictures to come in a second.

Here are the pictures of the inside! (they are labeled with IMG):

Index of /d2

There is an NE5532 and LT1364. The case is actually made of two halves (the top is detached from the bottom).

Alright, I'll see if I can get my hands on one.

 

[jamato8]

I wondered if they were Torx as they have used them in the past. How could it be proprietary if you can buy the driver at Ace? Anyway, I have the drivers. Going driven someday soon.

Sorry, I call it proprietary because it's a brand name

powertoold - thanks for the pics.

Thanks for the insides! Looks like the NE5532 needs a good switching

. I wonder why they still went with the NE5532, after the 6234 was so popular in the D1. Oh well who knows.
