Not as happy for me. I was feeling well enough to leave the house for the first time in days, and just got to the UPS Store to get my mail and you the two LM4562's - and when I got there I realised that I had left the chips at home.

On a good note my Livewires were waiting for me there, and I can't wait to check the new fit.

Ron, have you tried the 8656 as buffers and the 8397 as the amp? Or the reverse?

Please try it and call me.

Based on the measurements, it seems like the D1 is similar to the HR Micro amps. Does anyone know if the HR portable micro bag and micro strap work with the D1?

Miguel...

WARNING!!!!! Do NOT use the AD8656 in either L/R or Buffer sockets on the D1. You will quickly hear a pop and the opamp will no longer be usable! The supply voltage exceeds the AD8656 limits. The same is true for the AD8616. It is possible that this can also damage other components in the D1

You can safely use the "Solid Tube WV" which is the LTC6241HV in the L/R position in place of the AD8656.

I find the ADA4841-2 to also be an excellent choice for L/R.

Micro bag: 14.0cm (long) x 10.2cm (wide) x 6.4cm (deep)

D1: 12.0cm (long) x 7.6cm (wide) x 3.1cm (deep)

Should fit. But depends on what you want to put with it!

Does anyone have a date when the new revised iBasso D1 will go on sale.

 

[Capunk]

I guess they still on the research lab, and currently only on planning level... but they said "soon" ? I guess they need to focus on fulfilling their d1 stock level first before jumping to 2nd version

 

[Schalldampfer]

So... only the opamp is changed?

 

[Monster_Omelette]

Argh! While removing the AC adapter from the surge protector, one of the prongs came off!

Needless to say, I'm hosed once it runs out of battery

Edit: Luckily, iBasso's excellent customer service came though and they're sending me another AC adapter

. Unfortunately, it'll take 10-17 days to get to me

Hey guys, what's a good IEM to pair with the D1? Any suggestions? My max budget is $400...but would prefer less if it has good value/performance.

 

[Skylab]

I actually think the Shure E500 is a great choice, since it's a little mellow, and the D1 (as supplied with stock op-amps) is a little bright. E500's can be had on EBay brand new with warranty for $250.

I have been very pleased with my Future Sonic Atrio M5. It goes very well with the D1. Can be had for about $135 on Ebay. I also have the Westone UM2 and ER4P, but feel that the Atrios sound better with my D1.
