HiFlight makes up the top kits after testing many op amps. You emailed the right person.

I've been tossing up between the D6 and D12. The thing is, I don't need 24 bit playback, and I only care for the USB input regarding the DAC. Should I go for the D6 or D12? Only $10 seperates them.

Based on your needs, I would opt for the D6, as you can power the amp section from usb without the use of battery power and the higher voltage power supply will provide additional headroom.

I currently own a D10 Cobra and use it with my Ipod Touch and Klipsch Custom 3's and JH 16Pro's, was looking at the D6, is the D6 a significant upgrade from the D10, don't want to fork over another $300 squid for marginal improvement, thanks in advance.

Whats the main difference between the D6 and D12 other than the other input options?
 
the D12 is appealing since it has optical, so i could hook it to my PS3 for late night gaming.

Power, power, and more power.
 
Having a look at the two manuals, the D12 has 4.2 volt battery, D6 has a 12.6 volt; Output power of the D12 is 110mW+110mW, D6 is 650+650. I'm pretty sure the DAC is slightly better in the D6 as well, having a frequency response of 4Hz - 20kHz and a sample rate of 96kHz and bit depth of 24 (not sure if the D12 has this as well, someone correct me if I'm wrong).

What does this mean? Well, for me, I did use some slightly power hungry opamps in the D6 like the THS4601 and AD797. These opamps wouldn't be as viable in the D12. You just leave yourself open for more options with more power.

Is there any way to use the USB port on the D6 as an input from an iPod similar to the CypherLabs Algorithm solo USB input?

No you have to have windows or another operating system that supports the 24/96 driver

LOL - I guess dreams are free.

It is pssible off an iPad but not iPod. You need the camera kit and a dr. Bott T3 USB split. Works great with my d12.

With Linux, I can use my iPod in much the same way as I would use a USB stick - RhythmBox (and others) will let me browse my music and play whatever I want, but thats not the same thing as the CLAS. As I said, dreams are free - unfortunately, the CLAS costs considerably more.

I ordered mine last night to use with my JH16s =)

So did I, will use it with my JH16's, at the moment I  use them with the D10 Cobra, which is fantastic, but the D6 should trump it, plus it will probably drive my 702's with no problem, that's what I was told by iBasso.

How do I order a HiFlight topkit, thanks.
