Don't spam lah paca.

Tis isnt /k/

First thing first.
I do need a decent DAC/AMP, because my Thinkpad T61 soundcard is not quite good to drive my PFEs. I need more power and SQ too. So I decided to by the D10, based on reviews from head-fi gurus. The price is quite reasonable and the main feature which I like is the 'SPDIF optical/coax' Digital input, where I can use it with my cheap DVD player and my desktop PC's optical out.

The sound.
1) Generally, this amp is a WARM amp, where you may find it's  bass and treble are boosted a little.
2) I read somewhere, that iBasso create the amp based on ER4 as a reference. I might be wrong.
3) This warm sound do match very well with PFEs
4) With PFEs, it sound  more fuller and cleaner
5) The detail or resolution is superb, magnificent. No DAP can challenge this yet
6) The high, is sparkling and detailed
7) Due to the warm  sound signature, you may find it, much BIGGER soundstage. Or, you may find it you are listening a bit back from the front row. With UM3X, it is definitely an awesome 3D imaging. Very good for classical and jazz.
8) The main thing is the POWER to drive PFEs. I found it, the sound signature changes accordingly with the volume level. Even with the high volume level, it is still very nice and easy to your ears, compared to the 'LOUD' sound from full volume  of the Touch 2G.  But,please  don't do this often

Cons .
1) It picks up GSM noise excellently .
2) With UM3X, you can hear hissing (when connected with USB)  or hum when I touch the volume knob. Wow, UM3X is very sensitive.

Overall it is a very good performance DAC/AMP.

BTW, I never tried the analog line line (amp mode) yet. So no comment.

Thank you

Yup, directly from D10's headphone jack. Also I am not rich to get Predator, Pico, P51, SR-71a ... just to amp the other amp

Ehem, yup. I think Headphoneaddict  (HPA) listening taste is similar to mine, might be because of age

Yes, I know that ... FYI, I started listening via full digital link since 20 years ago ... But, I really like to enjoy my listening without being to fussy or too demanding

Ala ... don't be so  formal lah.... Just treat me, as your close friend. I am still learning ...
I registered on headwize.com BEFORE  head-fi.org

But, even with higher impedance, the sensitivity is still 124 dB/mW@1kHz.  So,refer dB/mW  the sensitivity, not the impedance.

Ye la... W3's sensitvity is 107dB/mW@1kHx.. similar to PFEs... but, PFEs sound 'thin' without amp, but  W3 are much more fuller, because of 3 drivers.

Pardon me. i don't mean to intrude but i'm rather curious.

I see there are threads about D2 and D10. But there's seem no serious talks about T4.

I guess it is really not that popular huh?

No problem with it.. It support SPDIF data format... but which type of medium? cable or optical? If the optical use the standard TOSLINK, than no converter needed. If it use the standard RCA, than normal audio RCA cable is enough. D10 has both type of SPDIF interface type.

TQ.

Why? you think female cannot be an audiophile kah ? he heh he he...

Care to tell us, what headphone is that?

Wow, your taste is very high . Congratulation.... I only tried my friend's Senn 595, and if you likes the Senn sound signature, than you may like PFE too

Errr... actually I knew her . AND... I mistakenly/accidentally  posted the message with her ID hhe heh he he .. sorry for the confusion... he heh he he...  But, you may still have chance to 'ngorat' her, ... but .....

ok ok ok .. Back to topic ... Wait.. what amp are you using ?
The cable is just simple 3.5 mm mini jack to standard RCA. You can DIY it for less than RM10.
