I had read a bunch of great stuff about the original D100 (here and generally) so decided to get one but as I was about to buy I found out that there was a version II coming out soon so waited. Only a few days later I saw one on eBay so jumped on it. I got the unit a few days ago and I am really very impressed. I have been a bit disappointed in the other DAC / headphone amps I have had before for various reasons but this one just wows me in every way. In fact the only very slight niggle I have is that the volume knob is horrid plastic but underneath the stepped system feels and sounds good.
 
Having only owned 2 other such devices and not the original D100 I can't say that I feel confident reviewing it on here so I was wondering if anyone with more experience is likely to get their mits on one for reviewing soon as I think this machine deserves some love.
 
I found that it pairs with the Denon AH-D7000 and V-Moda Crossfade M-80 extremely well. I have only used and probably will only use USB on this thing and so far it's worked brilliantly. If anyone would like any info about this device or thinks I should review it here let me know.

I know you don't have the original, but if you one day come across one and you would be able to do a comparison between the two editions it would be awesome!
I'm currently trying to make my mind up between mkI and II to replace my Xonar Essence STX. I'm going to plug an HD650 Sennheiser into whatever I end up buying, and while I've read that the original goes really well with this headphone I'm not sure about mkII. (Some people thinks mkII is a downgrade amp-wise :/ )

Oh that's interesting about the amp. Where did you hear that, is there anyone else around here talking about it? Because I couldn't find anything at all. When I first heard about the mkII version it was described as a mostly an amp upgrade (apart from the USB), it was supposed to sound a bit more... powerful / bassy? but perhaps that has had some negative effects. Anyway, I would love to get my hands on an original one day as well (it would be handy for work actually). If I do I will surely report back but right now I can't afford it.
 
Are you not happy with your STX btw? Does it give any noticeable feedback from being internal?
