Does anyone have the T3D? What's the advantage of the digital volume?

 

[ChuckWang]

I think digital volume, if implemented right, can give you a smaller increment thus gives you perfect volume if you have highly sensitive IEMs.

So how long's the wait for Ibasso Shipping?

 

[dongringo]

Thanks ChuckWang for the info about the digital volume.

When I ordered the D4 it only took 4 days shipping time from China to Portland, OR USA. That was from the day I ordered it.

Your Welcome Dongringo!

I am amazed with the fast shipping! In terms of the digital volume control, I think it's all a matter of preference. The younger generations have the tendency to prefer volumes digital. As for me,.. I am stuck in the middle, so they are both good: )

Thanks estreeter. I really think it comes down to how much money a person has to spend and/or the need to impress. Personally, I just try to achieve the best 'music to my ears' at a price point I can live with. I went to an audio show in Los Angeles one time that really taught me alot. Most people don't realize that it's the little things that count. I don't care how many 'premier' names you throw at me or how many thousands upon thousands of dollars you spent, if you didn't spend a few bucks on soundproofing the room, then my system at a fraction of the cost probably sounds a hell of a lot better. Know what I mean? I don't have such high expectations for portable audio, I get true 'hi-fi' at home when I crave it, so for me, it's all about finding the 'diamonds in the rough' - low cost / big performance. The T3 is a marvel in my book.

And I do the exact same thing you do with music files. I rip all my CD's to Apple Lossless, I just store them on an external hard drive - my MBP only has 120MB hard drive. The 256K AAC files work fine for portable use.

Hey, I just tried it and I am definitely getting a major improvement from my DAP than I did from plugging it into my wallet !

I can assure you that both my X and NWZ-S738 sound fantastic from the headphone out into the T3, but I dont have the TripleFI. I have turned ALL EQ off, everything flat, no gain on the T3 and it still sounds warm and bassy to me : the iPod sounds colder but a little gain and its a lot closer to the sound I like. For others, this will be a negative. Horses for courses.

Has anyone tried the d2000s with the ibasso t3? Im considering buying right now or the d4s. Would there be significant difference in headphone amp section considering the ahd-2000s are full sized with t3 vs d4?

Please keep in mind that the T3 is primarily designed as an IEM amplifier. While it does a creditable job on easy-to-drive full-sized phones, it does its best with IEM, one shouldn't expect it to have the same capabilities as an amp designed to power full-sized phones that are more difficult to drive.

The D4 can easily drive full-sized phones.

Ive read that the d2000s have a low impedance and are ez to drive. I do value the extra portability of the t3 as well. IDK maybe ill opt f0r d4 cant decide.

 

[kunalraiker]

Anyone with a review on how P3+ is, or is there something better out there.

 

[paulybatz]

I would say, Id go with the T3, the digital volume is just not what I prefer...they put high quality alps pots in the T3...I have one and love it!

 

[harj]

also been told by ibasso by email they prefer the t3 over the t3d. How good is the quality of the mini to mini supplied with the t3, is it worth getting a CB01 mini cable?

$159 including shipping to U.K sounds like a great deal. Here in the UK a t4 cost £100 which is more then $200.

 

[harj]

sorry my mistake £100 works out to be about $165.
