Looks like a new Ibasso amp is coming: http://www.ibasso.com/en/products/show.asp?ID=60.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is the only other balanced portable amp on the market other than the RSA Protector. SE bringing in this any time soon?![]()
do pm me if westone 2s are on promo (prices)
cheers, stereo has excellent service imo, will always go back and have also recommended many friends!

Hi Stereo, would like to ask if there are any UE SuperFi.5 EB left in stock, and how much they cost? PM me thanks![]()

Hi!
would this batch have the 'clipping' problem too?![]()


any advice from our specialist from SE?![]()
http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread...asso-d4-mamba-with-dual-dacs/570#post_6328509What sort of "clipping" issues are you referring to?
Ibasso D4 Clipping problem
This is the measurement from the Output of the AD8616
At the input of the AD8616/output of WM8740 the Signal I pump in using the computer is a Triangle wave. Level set at 100%

Sorry for the poor image, I have one hand on the probe and hand on the camera.
So confirm there is clipping.
Straight off I have not regain from my shock, this is happening to me again.
So how to solve this problem ?
1) You could up the voltage of the AD8616. (Possible to tap from the 5V amp or from WM8740, but could be noisy, need to break traces as well )
2) or reduce the Gain of the AD8616 so that the output voltage is below clipping.
The second option could be easier just change 2 resistor value. Easy mod for anyone who solder. When I finally get to do that will post the solution.
A temporary solution would be to set the volume of your computer to about 80% of max so that the clipping does not occur.
I would need to go through the D4 design again, Look like I would have to keep the D4 for a while longer as my friend would likely ask me to solve this before passing to him.
