Strangely, when viewed at an angle, I can see a green flashing led underneath the red one. I've emailed ibasso to see if I have another dud on my hands. I sincerely hope not. Maybe a great product marred by poor quality control?

Mine did that once and I just ran it all the way down and recharged and after 4 hours it turned green. So I think its just the recharge chip getting confused or something.

The optical is usually referred to as a Toslink connection, Steve

And this is what one would use to connect, say, a DJ2000 to the D1 DAC?

Sorry to be so unknowledgeable about this. Since getting an iMod and a Xin SMIV, I have pretty much shelved my DJ2000. It would be nice to bring it out with the DI as a desk unit. This sounds like a great unit.

Yes, in a manner of speaking. The Sony D-EJ2000 features a combined 3.5mm line-out / optical-out mini jack, so you need either a mini-plug to Toslink cable:

...or a mini-plug adapter to fit over one end of a regular Toslink to Toslink cable:

The cables available from SysConcept come highly recommended by any number of fellow members here.

I'm enjoying a D-EJ2000 with my D1 right now and it is simply a superb combination. I think you will be surprised and delighted by how wonderful they sound together.

so besides ebay where can one find some OPA2111KPs or even OPA2107APs?

Guess I will not and instead I will post a bit of information now. The D1 I have has about 44 hours of burn in. Today I fed the Dac in th D1 via an optical cable from my coputer (Chaintech AV710). The files are Apple Lossless and I am using iTunes Version 7.3.2.6. The cans I used were the AKG K701. I did a quick comparison with my fully burnt in SR-71 using the line out on the front panel of the D1 to feed the SR-71. I honestly expected the SR-71 to trounce the D1. Well, I was wrong and the D1 has deeper bass, higher highs, and a better soundstage. Thinking I had my ears plugged I asked my wife to listen in and tell me which she prefered. She chose the D1 as well. This is by not means a full test nor the final word. I do plan to evaluate at the 100 and the 400 hour mark. But based on the quick listen we did the D1 is a heck of an unit.

I tried to tell everyone (or maybe just Skylab) that mine sounded great at 70+ hours, but I got beat down. I stopped the 24hr/day burn in at 200 hours, and will just burn it in as I listen now.

I'm on the list for the HiFlight OPA2111/D8397 upgrade kit. I have an AD8066/AD8397x2 here now, but my browndog's haven't shown up and I still expect to ruin them during the soldering process doing it myself. Why I have two wired and one butane soldering iron I'll never know...

 

[mapstec]

Just a quick question in between:
Has anyone changed the Opamp for the DAC section?
Shouldn't that change the sound signature even more then the Amp section?

 

[Ricey20]

list for the HiFlight OPA2111/AD8397 kit? Whats that and how do i go about gettin on that list?

I have the same winning combination. Compact and elegant, and sounds great, of course!

 

[Schalldampfer]

Can someone comment on how these stack up against the Total BitHead? I'm thinking of selling mine and going with this one.

 

[MoAv]

Can someone explain more about the opamp OPA2111, like which version of it shoud I buy and how much should it costs ? right now it's going for $50 for a set of them.

 

[mapstec]

Just a heads up for those with a defective front LED:

mine worked for a few hours, then not for a few days, and suddenly today it started working again?!?

So maybe you do not send back the D1 immediately but instead wait for a bit.

 

[Ricey20]

that still doesnt sound normal though, should email ibasso.
As for the OPA2111 i think everyone uses the texas instruments one with 8 pin DIP. I think Burr brown has OPA2111s but dont know what the difference is

Based on some of the above comments, which correlate with my findings the D1, from my hearing impressions does not sound like a portable amp. It has the drive and capabilities I have heard from home amps and freedom from the small sound that often accompanies portables. It has a big and open sound, which I find exciting since it also has the bonus of a very good dac section.

I'm trying to wait for Skylab's review, and more improtantly, to pay off my credit card before I run it up again with a D1...You guys make it extremely hard to be patient!!
