INTEREST CHECK
Hello everyone
I am interested in purchasing a DAC/AMP combo from "iBasso".
The two specific products I'm looking at are:
1) iBasso D-Zero http://www.ibasso.com/en/products/show.asp?ID=73
2) iBasso D42 Mamba http://www.ibasso.com/en/products/show.asp?ID=79
The iBasso D-Zero looks more appealing to me considering the price. It has the famed Wolfson WM8740 DAC chip.
But, the iBasso D42 Mamba contains Dual Wolfson WM8740 DAC Chip, in addition to the option of rollable OPAMP.
Both D-Zero and D42 can be used as a DAC+AMP combo, a standalone headphone AMP, or a standalone DAC (via Line Out function).
The prices for both of them are:
iBasso D-Zero = $109
iBasso D42 Mamba = $188
Shipping charges = $30 (not sure, but for each of them)
I have already talked to iBasso Audio via e-mail and they are willing to take my order, but there is no responsibilty for Customs/ import duty, etc.
Although they are ready to cooperate for my order in any way possible, I can't help but think of "Pristine Note/ Pro Audio Home".
I put in a query regarding iBasso products to Pristine Note, who informed that they could place an order if there were atleast 10-20 people interested...
Hereby, I have put up this [Interest Check] thread ...
Please look at some reviews of D-Zero and D42 on Head-fi and other websites. They are truly marvelous products.
In fact, the D-Zero outdoes the Fiio E7 : http://www.head-fi.org/t/571116/review-ibasso-d-zero-with-fiio-e7-comparison
I myself am reclining towards the D-Zero because of its price and small from factor.
However, if you are looking for some serious power for your headphones and IEMs, check out the D42. The D42 is definitely an upgrade over D-Zero with Dual Wolfson W8740 DAC chip and rollable OPAMP.
Please check both these products out and put in your comments below.
This could be a start for iBasso product line in India!!
