Opamps on a pcb that you can swap with the original opamps in your D10 or D12.

I really like the look of the D12.  The distressed aluminum effect is purty.  If it sounds as good as the D10, I'm going to have to get one.
 
Unfortunately I can't afford it until November 1st.  But they'll probably be be low supply until then anyway.  So I'll just add it to the wishlist. 

 
(BTW, Is anyone planning to bring a D12 to RMAF in Denver?)

Its not mentioned in their website, but I believe in their previous description, you can roll two single channel or one dual channel opamps?

I just sent iBasso a message requesting some information on the D12. I personally love the way the D4 sounds when fed via USB, using HiFlight's topkit.

Yes you can use single op-amps.

Well, it's looking like it's either this or the XM6 for Christmas...

 

[HK_sends]

It looks really nice!  I wonder if they will have a black finish as well?
Definitely looks worth saving my few pennies for...
 
Cheers!

They have described the dac as sounding every bit as good as the D4, which is excellent for a dac. With improvements to the amp section, I imagine for IEM's and a number of phones, using this optical, USB or coax should be a very good listen. The number of opamps now that can be used being single and double also really opens up the field.

^ I received the same description and it "sounds" like a nice improvement over the D10.

 

[wuwhere]

D4 is USB only. D12 SPDIF should be better.

 

[wolfen68]

Well, I ordered one....but have no idea if I got one of the first batch.

 

[jamato8]

That is true. The D12 with coax and optical input will put it up one notch. I look forward to impressions. I have a feeling it will be a long lived combination dac/amp.

I wonder if a pair of OPA627AP are rollable in the D12.

 

[jamato8]

I would think the voltage would be too low for them to work correctly. They can take, relative to the 5 volt systems of late, a lot more DC.
