^^ same as the D10, you plug a mini cable into the aux/line out jack and if the USB is being fed, it will automatically switch on the line-out function.

dang, I go out for a ciggie and get beaten to the punch

its not perfect this system and I personally would prefer a physical switch, sometimes I need to cycle the D10 to get it to recognize an input/output and switch the relay.

Now I'm glad I didn't already buy the D2+, I'd rather have the 9 Volt.

I wonder how this would work as a pre-amp/DAC for my powered monitors.

I was waiting till christmas to get a D10. Hopefully they come out with the D11 soon so I don't have to wait too much longer to get it.

Hi there!

How does this thing conect with DAP? It'ill bring cables?
Or you have to buy it separatly?
I currently have iPod Touch 2G 32 GB and Sansa Clip+ 8 GB.
Any recomendations?

Will you recomend this one instead of the D2 + Boa?
What's the improvement?
With , let's say, not so god speakers, you wont get to "feel" the power of this equipment, right?
Im saying this because in the home office (the place where i listen to more music) i have Logitech Z4 speakers, and im afraid that i wont get the full potential of this DAC.
In a 150/200$ budget what others may i consider?
I have a recomendation for Harman-Kardan Soundstick II, any others?

(if this questions sounded dumb, it's because they really are, sorry 'bout that)

Thanks.

without a digital source in (USB, optical) you won't be using the DAC at all, just the amp. So, straight from a DAP, it's just an amplifier, not a DAC at all.

It's also not really meant to be connected to power speakers, it's not that powerful a device.

Thank you kb1gra, but i 've not make myself clear, when i mean connected to speakers, i meant trough laptop via USB, that way can work as a DAC and an amplifier, no?

Yes it will be a dac and preamplifier to speakers that either have a built in amplifier or external amplifier.

Thank you jamato, what about the speakers, are the Harman-Kardan soudstick ii (the ones i can afford) a good choice to pair with the Ibasso D4,
or could you recomend another ones, in the same "league"?
(in hope you understand my indecision, i really am new in the area, and im trying not make many mistakes)

 

[kb1gra]

Ah, sorry, you were asking about using it with DAPs so I assumed that's what the whole post was about.

I have not used those speakers and don't really have experience with other small speakers. I am sure there are many people that have had experience. It might be good to look on some of the other forums here that might deal better with the question.

How many op-amp is roll-able in the D4 ? What is the default op-amps.
Specially is there a ground op-amp.

Does it contain a CS8416 digital receiver ?

Not in the same league, apart from being a standalone player, the HM-801 has dual PCM1704U-K.

This D4 Mamba is obviously a direct competitor to the Original Pico with USB DAC.

I much prefer USB straight to I2S implementation even with sacrificing Coax or Optical input options. I prefer ONE high quality input vs. Two mediocre ones.

[charlie0904]

wonder how the amp sounds. there isn't information about the op amps inside D4.

 

[jamato8]

The opamps that come installed are: AD8066 on L/R, and LMH6655s on the buffer. The 8066 can run from 5 to 24 volts and the 6655 up to 12 volts so they can run from the USB or the 9 volt battery.
