The iBasso P3+ Herron has made its way to my door and there are images and more . . .

"The Stack"

An iRiver H140 with a 120gb HD, the iBasso Cobra as the dac and of course the P3+ amplifying the show.

Enjoying the Heron with the stock opamps, transistor buffers and an AD744 in the G and V socket.

Anyone has pictures of the back panel without the screws on? I would like to see the screw holes closely. TIA.

No pix, but it has threaded stud on top right and bottom left. Much quicker and easier to change batteries. The nuts even have a small countersink to help start threading them on.

........and I just bought the D10......... LOL I can't wait to have the head-fi teeth really sink in!

Thanks jamato8. Nice, no threads on the case.

Hi Jamato,

Any chance you may comment on the performance between the P3+ and the P3 F.Q?

Thanks.

 

[jamato8]

F.Q.?

 

[HiFlight]

Tonight I made up several modules using the AD744 in output-bypassed, Class A bias configuration. I used the SOIC version with SMD resistors to allow a fit in the D10 case.

The sound is very good..very detailed. I haven't yet sorted out which buffers will work best in the D10, but am using stacked BUF634 in the P3+. These are labor-intensive to make up, and I remember now how much I don't like working with SMD devices!

Ron, you need to get an oven.

Could I bother either of you two to test the P3+ (with whatever setup you have right now) with some high sensitivity IEMs? I'm wondering if the new hi current setup has more hiss then the stock and if the stock has any hiss at all.

Yeap, the P3 oem version. How do you compare the P3+ and the P3 OEM?

There isn't an OEM P3 that I know of. There is the OEM or fi.Q but they are different amps both in layout and voltage so I could compare the P3+ to any amp.
