Yes, that will work. I doubt they've switched their screws recently...

I was very anxious to get my new pcb in

but I should have waited for a proper key

Thanks to all of you that were the 'sacrificial guinea pigs' on this experiment. I hope the long term burn ins show this amp to be a big time performer.

Not every D2 has the grounding issue. I have yet to hear any static or fuzz from my D2. Both the High gain model and normal version. Im pleased with my D2 now that I have the correct version. The only complaint is the volume knob is so slick its not hard to adjust, just not as easy as it could be..like the P2.

Well, my D2 behaved perfectly fine until yesterday, which was a little over a week since I received it. It has suddenly developed a problem with what appears to be the on-off switch built into the volume pot. Now the amp makes loud, deafening noise in one channel just prior to switching off/on, especially if I wiggle the volume knob back and forth.

Am still awaiting an email response from ibasso about whether they will refund me my money (i'm leaving the country on a very extended period, and would prefer to resolve this by then). One would hope that if they price their product so competitively (the customs release form valued the D2 at $30), their "warranty" would also rival that of the competition.

I agree about the volume knob. I am on the hunt for a tiny, but wide, rubber band to put on the knob.

I must be nuts, because my hi gain unit sounds better overall than my lo gain. Lo gain is right out of the box, but I'm somewhat disappointed with how "underpowered" the lo gain feels. It is significantly less ballsy than any other amp I have, including GV6 and a Zero Audiocraft.

I'd like to side by side A/B test these units. Anyone aware of an enclosure I could use to safely setup the alternate PCB?

Every D2 should have static issues when used on USB or power adapter if it isn't fixed (grinding the anodization inside the chassis). Maybe iBasso did this on some units (or maybe they will fix it for the future units) but when the rails of the chassis, which are supposed to hold the PCB and make a GND contact, are anodized then you have static. Maybe you won't hear it with every headphones but sensitive ones will definately show it. The static sound should be minimal or barely hearable. On the other hand there seems to be 2 (?) people here that have D2's with very loud static that also is there when listening to music.

The value on the customs form doesn't mean anything. They probably didn't put it high so that there would be no / less export / import taxes.

Mine doesn't seem to have the ground problem.

 

[ack_0220]

i'm actually getting quite disappointed with iBasso, they told me that we should not use the amp while charging, having heard so many problems with you all, i don't even dare to use if often...feels like it will fail anytime......i didn't really get to listen to it properly yet, i hope the sound is enough to make up for it. I feel so like changing it for the P2 now......

 

[MONVMENTVM]

I use it most of the time with the power adapter plugged in.

I listened to and charged mine this morning. No hiss or fuzz.. It worked fine. I've been listening to it all day except for 1 hour at lunch, and havent heard anything out of the ordinary.

Painting with broad strokes will normally give you an ugly picture.
