This is not the same as the problem I had, where the USB>iBasso sound simply stopped after about an hour and wouldn't start again (I didn't try rebooting the computer as I wanted to get on with the movie), although I did comfirm that the iBasso still worked through USB from another computer.



There was some discussion in the MOVE thread about noise transmission over the USB bus. The problem lay with the computer and it was solved through the use of a powered USB hub. I use the MOVE with a PowerBook G4 directly connected to the USB port and it is absolutely silent.

Thank you for that. It seems weird, even so. I can understand a powered USB hub solving a problem with a passive hub, but a powered hub being better than plugging into the computer....?

Due to the many requests for the DAC opamp upgrade to the AD8656, I will be able to provide a mounted AD8656 on a standoff, but my opamps will not be available until the middle of October due to availability delays from Analog.

If nothing else, the folks at iBasso seem to be exceptional in their communication:

You are correct. Heck, even with the 300 ohm HD580 I will not go past 10:30 or 11:00 o'clock.

The problem is with your computer not supplying sufficient power through the USB bus. You should be able to solve it by using a powered USB hub. In the meantime, if you're using the headphone jack of the computer anyway, you can still feed the analog signal to the amp.


Would using task manager to set the priority of the software being used to view the movie or listen to music to "high" help?

I received my D1 a few days ago and although I think it's a great combo (particularly with the HD650) I'm selling it right again to afford a big DAC.

If you're interested please have a look at my offer.

I received a D1 from a fellow Headfier today for a bit of comparison to my Corda Move. Is it normal for the leather casing to bulge out a bit at the seam? As it is not mine, I thought I should ask if this is a defect.
