Sad to say the D1 can't do that.

If I were to solely use a usb dac, should I get the Headroom Total Bithead or the Ibasso D1? Which sounds better?

D1 hands down. The D1's DAC is what makes it so remarkable at this price.

has anyone tried comparing the sound with and without power adaptor? when running from power adaptor the treble seems more laidback and less prominent.. w/o power adaptor the treble sounds nicer and sweet...

and also when connected with my (laptop vga out)lcd, i can see visual noise on the display when the D1 supplied power adaptor is on. could be due to the quality of the power adaptor.

I don't find much difference between adapter and battery powered. But with regards to your LCD, are you using a shielded VGA cable? all electronic devices have EM/RF noise which will affect your video cable if it is not shielded.

 

[PPkiller]

it shouldn't be the vga cable... only with D1 power adaptor it will cause such noise to appear on the screen..

 

[mamboman]

could still be tha vga cable and also that the D1 walwart is noisy. did you try a different socket?

 

[WatCult]

My power adaptor is also giving out strange noise but it is not affecting my screen.

 

[mamboman]

neither is it affecting mine. that's why i think it might be a case of poor noise shielding in PPKiller's cable plus a noisy power adapter.

 

[PPkiller]

actually from my experience, once i have a noisy display on my lcd before..

previously i have a emu-0404 usb. with the creative power adaptor, everything is fine... until when i order 1 cheapskate 5v adaptor from ebay to give it a try(someone mention higher A adaptor will improve the audio quality on emu-0404),
what happen is once i plug in that cheapskate adaptor, the noisy on the screen appears... i conclude the adaptor to be of poor quality and discard it to the bin straight after...

Does anyone have an estimate on the time it takes iBasso to ship the D1? I live in Wisconsin, USA.

 

[jamato8]

Mine took 4 or 5 days after 1 or 2 days of being ordered.
