  1. You can get some browndog adaptor to convert the SOIC into DIP. http://www.cimarrontechnology.com/index.as...WPROD&ProdID=12
  2. Nope. Just finished my exams ... awaiting for the results. But the rooms there can still be use since no one really check.
  3. I wouldn't mind a mini meet. Just let me know the time and the date.
  4. You can check with RS or Farnell. Alternatively, you can get them off Ebay or some of the members in Headfi. I might be able to let go some of my opamps, PM me what u need.
  5. No. You don't really need to. D1 allows you to change the opamp to further improve the sound. However, it is not a requirement for you to mod. The availability of opamps changes allows you to match the different genres of music with different opamp.
  6. Tried the LME49720 before .. sound quite harsh ... maybe i have to burn them in more...
  7. yup.. same here ... it sounds very harsh for the highs .. The sounds just cracks on certain recordings... Probably gonna put back my LT6234 until i finish soldering the LTC6241.
  8. Thanks for meeting up yesterday. It was fun ... rolling all those opamp. I think the LTC6241 for the DAC was the clear winner. But for L/R it will really depend on what kind of sound signature you guys are looking for. OPA627 - Dynamic, bassy and Upfront AD746 - Dynamic, less upfront compared to the OPA627 and wide soundstage, not to mention nice replication of a live classical music environment. AD797 - Upfront, balanced and musical What are the opinion from you guys?
  9. If anyone is interested, there will be a small meeting for iBasso D1 owners at NUS BTC. http://www.sgheadphones.net/index.php?showtopic=8093&st=60 Checking out some opamp configurations for the D1.

  11. Public bus ... if you are taking from newton ... 48, 66, 67, 170, 171. Sure no prob. I can meet you guys there at 1pm. btw anyone gonna bring their laptop? or source?
  12. Ends at 12:30pm. We can meet after that. btw is it possible to help me solder a pair of bypass buffer for the AD797 cos i don't have any DIP8 socket. Thanks.
  13. I am attending a part time course @ the law faculty so i will be at BTC every sat morning. So just choose any sat afternoon i am fine with that. How about mini? any suitable date for you?
  14. Just soldered my a few opamp on adaptors Ad797, LMH6655, LTC6241. Previously, was using the AD825 -L/R, LME49720-Buf, LT6234 -DAC. Didn't really have the time to A/B the opamp. But i first tried swapping the LMH6655 into the Buf, louder and clearer sound compared to the LME49720. Next swap in the AD797 .. Much better separation, soundstage expanded and it feels like the singer is singing much closer to you. Next LTC6241 - unfortunately i think i didn't solder properly ... the sound coming from the right side of my earphone was soft compare to the left. Have to resolder a new LTC6241. After i decided to try the LME49720 on the DAC .... It was terrible, i felt the sound is abit compressed and muffled. Not sure whether i was affected by the LTC6241... Will do my test later on ... when i have to time ... will try to solder the OPA627, AD8066, AD8397 and the LTC6241 again. I think we can use one of the rooms in NUS Bukit Timah Campus, plus the fact that i have lessons there on sat ...
  15. Bluetin is an online store in SG. If you want to do a comparision .. you can visit Stereo @ Causeway Pt or Jaben.
