They should be available soon.

Hi,
What about amazon.fr or uk or .de?
I'm considering ordering by Penaudio but apparently it will take 2-3 weeks extra during Xmas. Would really like a pair for Xmas...

I don't think so, ordered them from the iBasso store for $99.00 last night $22.00 DHL shipping to Canada, supposed to be here before Christmas.

That's a 22% price increase O_o
How slow is the normal shipping? It's not Aliexpress level is it?

I wanted them before Chrismas and Ibasso has them for $99.00 plus the $22 DHL shipping vs Penion Audio's $109.00 plus their $15 priority shipping so their cheaper for me plus its stock right from the factory.

With the somewhat new DHL policies that $122 could turn into $150-170 in some countries because it's shipping out of China. In my case the total would be $99 + 22 shipping + 47 tax & DHL services = $168. :rolling_eyes:
Please don't tell me they've turned into ups, I guess it's good the IT01s sound like IEMs worth way more than they cost because I might be paying way more than they cost. :frowning2:


Maybe Paul can mark the package as $20 In value. lol

I just use my S7 Edge (Exynos) as my source but I'm thinking of purchasing a portable Amp/DAC for it but I'm not sure if I will even need one for the IT01? I'm looking at the Fiio BTR1, Fiio Q1/Q1 Mk II or the Audioquest Dragonfly Black.

I would buy a dedicated DAP to preserve my phone's battery and to prevent other phone activities to disturb my music listening. That's just me. But if you don't like bringing too much gadgets with you, I think the Dragonfly would do.

Yeah I prefer just to use my phone, the other negative aspects you mention don't really bother me. I will see how the IT01 sounds straight from my phone first then I'll consider buying a portable Amp/DAC. I've read on this thread that even a smartphone on its own can drive the IT01 easily, so I'll see how it goes first.
