Thanks for the link Yitaro but all that stuff is solid not stranded.... Really want stranded stuff if possible.

I ran across one seller on ebay for the silver stranded wires.  I think the seller is from Eastern Europe and it was $5/ft.  I'll post the link when I find it.

That would be cool if you don't mind...
 
Thankyou!

You are a star, thankyou again

Hey I was wondering if someone can help me here.
My PB2 was working great but now its not charging.  When I plug the power cord in, the charging light doesn't light up.  I leave it overnight still no charge.  I can not turn on the amp without plugging the power cord in. 
It's still under warranty and I just email iBasso.
I am hoping its a simple fix cause I won't have time to send it in for warranty work.  I am leaving the country in a couple of weeks and won't be back till April.  I was planning to take my PB2 and headphone with me.
 

 

[SpudHarris]

Have you got a multi-meter to test the power adapter? Just a thought...
 
I had that problem with my CLAS and I got a bit bent out of shape worrying about sending it back but it was the power adapter that had died and I got another next day of e-bay for anout £5.

Hiflight, thanks again for that great kit!  The HE-500's impressed me so much at first but were a tad dry and fatiguing with the stock opamps and buffers.  His selection really gave these phones the much needed warmth and smoothing over of the top end.  Fabulous!  Loving my portable Hi-fi!

There is a switch on PB2 beside the place where you plug your charger to.  Did you accidentally flip the switch to not charge the PB2?

Tested the power adapter and it shows 16.25V.

No the switch is turn to charge.  When I turn the charge switch off than on, the red charging light lit up very briefly.

I always wonder what the point of that switch is on Ibasso rigs.

Should it be in the off position when plugged in but fully charged? How about when it's not plugged in?

I just received the latest Kit from Hiflight (the one with class A bias adapter).  I very impressed with the sound.  Instrument separation, smooth tops, and tight bass are all there.  What impress me the most is the instrument separation and placement.  With my HD650, the music comes alive.
Did you received the latest kit?

Mine does that when it is fully charged. Strange? ibasso are normally fairly quick to answer, so heres hoping they sort it for you soon.

Received the reply email and looks like I have to send the unit back in.  Disappointed that I won't be able to take my amp with me on vacation.
Has anyone dealt with iBasso regarding warranty work?  How was the turn around time?

iBasso is absolutely tops in warranty support, with fast turn-arounds.   Before sending it back, take off the top and check the battery connector to make sure it is securely connected.  It does sound like a defective battery pack.

Ooh, didn't know if there was more than one kit for the pb-2.  Have the ISL55002 and HA5002's.
