iBasso D2 Viper
$200.00
The Pros:Customizable sound with interchangeable opamps. Great price:performance ratio compared to more expensive devices. Smaller than it looks in images.
The Cons:Power LED is sporadic and a bit too bright. Cheaper construction/parts, noisy pot. Cheap interconnect cable shipped with unit.
The first in the iBasso D2 series, the D2 Viper is a miniature USB DAC/AMP combo for headphones intended for music lovers looking for a quality source and amp combination for a mobile laptop / computer setup.

Powered by a 12V power supply or on-the-go with an internal lithium ion battery rated up to 12 hours, the D2 accepts a USB connection for digital input or an aux 3.5mm input for line-in amplification. Shortly after a run of 200 D2 Vipers, the D2 was replaced by the D2 Boa, a slightly smaller device which could be powered or charged through the USB connection as well as a separate AC/DC power supply. Heralded for its opamp customization options and good price:performance ratio, the D2 Viper was among the first wave of miniature DAC/AMP combos, competing with the HeadAmp Pico and Ray Samuels Predator among others for half the price.
