Nice scoop, pekingduck...
 
BTW, I want to try to do "Tea-Smoked Turkey" next U.S. Thanksgiving.  Any "Christmas Story" movie fans might find that amusing.  (Sorry for the off-topic comment.)
 
Anyway, less inputs but what about rolling?  Split case?
 
For those who don't need the optical or RCA, this could be a nice entry into DAC/amps!
 
(I am still happy with my D12...this is his half-French brother?)

Not really..this one supports 24/96 over USB and doesn't have SPDIF inputs

Fantastic - I am posting in a new iBasso amp thread BEFORE paulybatz or jamato8 ! This is a red letter day indeed - thanks pekingduck !
 
Oh, and, er, go iBasso - sneaking this one in under the radar. Unless its a fake, in which case I will have all traces of this post removed, CIA-style. The more I look at the casework, the more I am inclined to go 'hmmmmm ...' 

 

[madwolf]

Wow should I go ahead and order one ? Nice catch 
 
The spec if I may Translate
 
1) It uses the TI TAS1020B，to convert USB to 24 Bit/96KHz I2S Signal
2) Dual WM8740
3) OP + BUF design
4) selectable gain +3DB or +10DB
5) Can be used as a standalone AMP or USB audio
6) Come with built in charger (switch to on/off) and 3 cell lithium polymer (battery life 20 hours)
 
Size: 55 x 24 x 100 mm

If the D12 is the new D10, then am I to assume this replaces the D4?

Stand by for an announcement very soon by iBasso regarding this new device!   It will answer many of the above questions.    I am, however, sworn to secrecy, but I can say that it it will be a "Killer"!!!   And yes, the Topkit will be available immediately!

 

[Caphead78]

How much longer till the announcement Hiflight? My wallet is getting impatient 

 

[Necoyama]

 
It is very interesting news. What would need Windows drivers?

 

[jamato8]

Windows now will put out 24/96 on the USB as will the latest Apple software. You have to go into the configuration for this to set up 24/96. On Apply you go into the MIDI setup after the USB device is plugged in.

C'mon Ron - are we talking D4-style killer or P4-style killer ?  I'm getting a little dizzy trying to keep up ...

 

[j2kei]

any chance to compare to full-size amp/dac?

iBasso should be making their announcement on the 1st of Jan.  It will be a significant step forward and very well received, IMO.  iBasso raises the bar with great regularity.  Their R&D engineers must work 24/7!  Even more amazing considering the very small number of employees.
