Excellent work there!  I didn't realize one could change the DAC chips.

How does one swap the DAC on this?

Would you be willing to mod mine? PM me to discuss this further if you'd like to work for hire.

I got my D6 about a week ago.  It's clearly the best offering I've heard from iBasso and I think like it a lot better than the Headstage Arrow 3G I recently sold.
 

 
I'm looking forward to some op-amp rolling again, like I did when I owned my old P3+.
 
Great thread everyone, it's going to give me something to do this weekend - looking for op-amp recommendations.

It's weird, but this is one of the only sources on the web that gives somewhat adequate details about the D6. I'm close to picking one up, but I plan on using them with B2 iems and I'm wondering if the gain will be too high from the amp. I'm trying to eliminate hiss and white noise, so I'm wondering if the D6 is a good match. The headphones don't have a low impedance for iems and have a relatively low sensitivity, but I still pick up hiss from my ipod and currently the fiio e10.

Try finding fullblown reviews of the P4. I have promised myself another P4 early next year, but so many toys and so little money .....

What happened to the last P4? I remember reading that it failed / got damaged....is it particularly fragile, e.g. when rolling the op-amps?
 
(I have just ordered one!)

It was my own fault - I enlisted the help of my bro-in-law when I rounded the hex-head screws on the casing with the el-cheapo tool iBasso supply to open the case. Someone else said they managed the same thing with their D12, but eventually managed to get the screws out. In every other respect, the P4 was a high-quality product, and I have absolutely zero complaints about the sound from 20 or so hours on.

They give you a T6 and you need a T7
 
That's why they round out.

The D6 is only rated for headphones up to 300Ω, it wouldn't work well at all with 600Ω cans. It works very well with my 250Ω Beyer T70's though.
 
As for your IEMs, it may be a bit overkill, it has quote alot of power.

I'm looking for a desktop solution to drive my 600Ω DT 880's sufficiently, but I'm also looking for a quality portable amp to suit an IEM like the Audio-Technica CK-10 (which I may purchase or something similar). Would the D6 fill both of these voids with little compromise, or would the D6 be overkill for such an IEM?

My Topkit-equipped D6 drives my 600 ohm DT-880's effortlessly and with authority. You should have no problem at all with them.
