Found this on iBasso site...

Then, let the locked inputting signal goes to the chips for decoding or amplification, and the MCU will turn into sleep status at the same time. Benefit from the MCU, the port AUX IN/OUT on the front panel can have multi-function. When there is S/PDIF signal inputting, this port is Line Out, otherwise, it is Line In.


Does this mean I have to output using SPDIF in order to get a line out?

I have gotten to around hour 30 (haven't been burning in all the time)

And WOW! soundstage is deeeep. I never thought IEMs could have soundstage like this.

It's almost 3d like. In one song there is this maraca going from right to left and before it was just flat... but now there is a sense of space and depth. Amazing!

this is using lm4562 as buff, opa2111 LR and ad8656 DAC -supermodded im716

USB is converted to S/PDIF by the D1's receiver chip.

Awesome news! Thanks! So that means I can totally bypass the amp when I get a better one, right?

Just tested and it's just as deep.

Right, but then you might be looking for a better DAC as well...

They will probably ship yours by Wednesday. Some people have gotten it shipped a few days after the order now.

BTW, I am trying to sell a bunch of brand new D1 opamps and accessories. Anyone interested in (3x SOIC>DIP Brown Dogs), (3x LMH6643 SOIC), (1x OPA2111KP), or (10x DIP to DIP adapters) please PM me! Thanks!

Of course not

But now I have to concentrate on getting my main rig which is a portable rig, after that I'll get a decent full size can to pair with the D1

Crap, now I'm wondering if the D1 is the best match for my incoming HF-1's. Would a Corda Arietta or another amp be a better complement?

Also, I have no experience with circuits.. is modding the D1 difficult or expensive? What do you need to mod it?
