Ibasso PB-2 First Impression

Here comes the new balanced amp from Ibasso! To counter RSA’s quad-mono SR-71b, Ibasso has created quite a monster portable amp in the form of the PB2. I’m sure you’ve all heard of it: 32 volts of swing and 2.5watts maximum output puts this portable in a desktop amplifier league.

IMPRESSIONS WITH FULL SIZE HEADPHONES
Of course the first thing I did when I received the PB-2 was to hook it to a Hifiman HE-6 to see if the rumors are true. Indeed it has enough power to drive the HE-6 to quite a good loudness level, and I’m only using the low-gain setting with volume control at 3pm!

While the PB-2 can never replace the impact and authority of a big desktop amp, the PB-2 can definitely take on a lot of entry level single ended desktop amps. For instance, listening to the HD650 in balanced, the PB-2 was able to grab a good control of the drivers, injecting a good dose of pace and making the HD650 feels lighter and more nimble than it normally is. I think in this sense the balanced drive really helps to pick up the pace of the HD650, as my Grace m902 ($1,500 headphone amp with single-ended headphone out) though having more impact and authority, doesn’t improve the pace of the HD650 as well as the Ibasso PB-2. Now that’s quite a compliment.

IMPRESSIONS WITH CUSTOM IEMS
With custom IEMs like the JH16Pro, the balanced drive gives an instant boost in soundstage size and bass quantity and you get a much bigger sound than you do when driving in single ended. However, I do think that while very impressive in short listening sessions, the balanced drive only increases the phase inaccuracy already inherent in the multi-driver IEM design. The balanced drive also didn’t improve things like articulation, detail extraction, imaging precision, or bass control out of the JH16, and again I will have to go with the Pico Slim or the RSA Shadow for my JH16.

OP-AMPS & BUFFERS
Opening the enclosure (Ibasso has supplied the hex key required to open the case), and I’m greeted with two rows of quad opamp arrays. It’s a pretty awesome sight to behold in a portable amp. The layout is very clean and symmetrical, as Ibasso had placed the messy part on the bottom side of the PCB. Ibasso also supplied an extra quad set of BUF634 buffers and an extra quad set of AD797 opamps, as well as dummy boards to bypass the buffer section. In total, you get 16 pieces of opamps/buffers along with the PB2.

Of course this is an incredible opportunity for opamp rolling. The PB-2 comes stock with the OPA604 op-amp and BUF634U buffer. The stock set up is actually quite good and has a very good tonal balance with good vocal presence, full mids and lows. Upon changing the opamp to the AD797, you get better bass control and more lively treble. When used in conjunction with the buffers, I felt that the midrange transition is not very linear when compared to using the OPA604 opamp. I prefer the AD797 without the buffer section, as it gives me the true AD797 sound.

My buddy Neob sent me a pair of dual-channel DIP OPA2111KP op-amps, which he said is a good pairing for the Ibasso P3, and indeed it is a very good opamp for the PB-2 too. The 2111 has a neutral presentation like the stock OPA604, but with a bigger soundstage and a more open sound. The treble is less agressive and also smoother than the OPA604, and so far it is the best match I’ve found for the PB-2. I haven’t quite tested the PB-2 with old time favorites like the OPA627, because I don’t have enough chips to fill in the quad-channel.

The buffer helps to add current to the output, which is useful for hard to drive headphones like the HE-6. But in terms of sound colorations, the buffer adds mid and low body, while lowering transparency. So, if I’m using the PB-2 with the 300 Ohm HD650, I’d rather have the buffer replaced by the dummy adapters as the amp runs cleaner without the buffers. Between the two buffers, the stock BUF634U is more neutral all around, while the DIP-package BUF634P WB (with the brown dale resistor soldered) is the same buffer running in high bandwith mode. The high bandwith BUF634 has 180MHz compared to 30MHz on the plain BUF634. For this reason, the BUF 634P WB is always the better choice for driving current hungry headphones like the HE-6, but keep in mind that battery life will also suffer tremendously (quiescent current averages 15mA vs 1.5mA on the low bandwith mode.)

As a recap, here is a general guide to the opamp and buffer configuration:

  • OPA604 + BUF634U (stock configuration) – Neutral sound with good tonal balance.

If you want more treble, then go with the AD797 on the opamp section:

  • AD797 + BUF634U – Better treble quality, drier on the mids to top compared to OPA604.

If you want more mids and low end body, change buffer to BUF634P WB (180MHz):

  • Change buffer to BUF634P WB (180MHz) – Bigger sound, fuller bass and mids, shorter battery life.

If you want a more transparent sound and better texture on the bass areas, take out the buffer section and go with a dummy buffer.

  • No buffer – Limited current, but still good for HD650, sound is cleaner and more transparent to the actual signature of the op-amp.

These are the opamps and buffers Ibasso included with the PB2. Left to Right: BUF634P (High bandwith 180MHz), BUF634U (Low bandwith 30MHz), Dummy adapter, AD797 (SOIC package), OPA604 (DIP Package).

COMPARED TO THE PB1
Like the PB-1, the PB-2 has a very good build quality. I’m loving the new matt finishing from Ibasso, and I think it really looks good in silver. There are no sharp edges in the housing, finishing quality is very smooth, definitely Ibasso has improved their build quality a lot since the P2 days. I do have to say that the longer enclosure, though understandable given the power output, is a big turn off when I can be using much smaller amps like the Headstage Arrow or the Pico Slim. I think you’ve got to have a real need for the power output of the PB-2, otherwise it will make more sense to go with the other slim amp models. Another thing that’s preferable on the PB-1 is the placement of gain switch. On the PB-2, you need to open up the enclosure to get access to the gain jumpers, where on the PB-1 the gain switches are accessible through the bottom side of the amp.

Compared to the PB-1, the PB-2 has an almost identical sound signature and tonal balance. Ignoring the power output differences, the PB-2 on the stock op-amp and buffer sounds slightly warmer with less aggressive treble and more low end body, while the PB-1 has a better clarity on the treble area. When you take out the buffer and only run it on the stock OPA604 op-amps, then the PB-2 sounds improves the clarity on the treble to match the PB1 while still being warmer and more neutral.

(special thanks to Neob for the PB1 loaner).

END WORDS
Throughout my listening time with the PB-2, I almost never see the need to use the mid or high gain level, other than just testing how loud it can drive the HE-6 headphones. But for actual listening, I actually find the low gain to be enough even for the HD650 and the HE-6. With the HE-6, though the voltage swing is plenty, it didn’t quite have the authority to make a slamming bass impact. However, with the 300 ohm HD650, the experience is very enjoyable as the PB-2 is perhaps the most affordable amp I’ve tried with the HD650.

      Hi,
      I made a short comparison to the Grace m902 in the article:

      /While the PB-2 can never replace the impact and authority of a big
      desktop amp, the PB-2 can definitely take on a lot of entry level single
      ended desktop amps. For instance, listening to the HD650 in balanced,
      the PB-2 was able to grab a good control of the drivers, injecting a
      good dose of pace and making the HD650 feels lighter and more nimble
      than it normally is. I think in this sense the balanced drive really
      helps to pick up the pace of the HD650, as my Grace m902 ($1,500
      headphone amp with single-ended headphone out) though having more impact
      and authority, doesn’t improve the pace of the HD650 as well as the
      Ibasso PB-2. Now that’s quite a compliment./

      Likewise the part about pace and the more nimble HD650 also applies when
      compared to the M-Stage.

      Cheers.

      In a way it’s very close to desktop amps, even in ways that my desktop amps can’t compare.

      Please read the passage about the HD650 and the Grace m902 comparison — a lot of single-ended headphone amps will not be able to drive the HD650 with the same pace as the PB-2 in balanced, and this is probably due to the benefits of the balanced drive. But on the other hand, bass impact and slam is not quite close to the powerful desktop amps such as the Grace or even the M-Stage.

              Mike, glad to hear you will be getting an SR71B and comparing all the amps, especially the PB2. You came through yet again! I can can vouch for the SR71B’s strength with the HE6, as I have heard it. I felt it was lacking bass, but I had no prior experience with the HE6 and did not know the source and music etc. The clarity, speed, naturalness, and mids and treble were all fantastic, and I really loved the soundstage and imaging, despite the imaging being pretty inaccurate as you have noted. It was still big and real, which was what I liked.

                Awesome! I was surprised about the lacking bass part, as RSA Amps are
                known for their bottom heavy signature (and all of the RSA Amps I have
                over here have that same signature).

                A good headphone will still have a great imaging, it just is not as good
                as in single ended.

                  As I said, it was not my music and source, and I had no experience with the HE-6. I am pretty sure the SR71B is not bass light, as all the review I have seen have said so. I am probably going to listen to that combo again next month, and i will let you know what I think.

                    I ve received the SR71b. The sound reminds me a lot to the Protector. It doesn’t drive the HE6 as loud as the PB2, mostly a function of voltage swing. But I felt that the bottom heavy signature pairs with the HE6 better.

                HRT Music Streamer seems to be a good candidate, but some other suggest me a ZERO DAC or ibasso DB1 since the combo with PB1 seemed to yield good result.

                    my setup would be macbookpro > DAC > amp > currently using ATH-AD700. Other than that, i’d probably go with iphone > amp > HD-280pro for more portable.

                    I’m currently looking for an upgrade of my ATH-AD700. Not sure which direction yet, but looks like Sennheiser HD598 or HD600 might be a good choice. I own HD555 and it feels that i lack the clarity in it. much prefer the AD700.

                      If I’m not looking for a particular sound, I’d just go with a simple one box set up like the Yulong U100. It sounds great out of the box, and it’s very convenient to use. Unless you have a real reason to go balanced (which I don’t think you need, with the AD700).

                      Do you have a problem with the bass on the AD700?

                      The bass on AD700 is very slim. I currently use PA2V2 amp made by Gary(Electric Avenues) which cost me 60 bucks, but helped the bass to become more fuller.

                      I’ll try yulong and see if that’s sufficient or not.

                      Oh, the Yulong won’t help you with the bass. Generally if you stay within the AD line, you won’t get much change on the bass. What you need is a different headphone. I think the HD600 is a good idea.

      Good question! I actually forgot to address those issues in the article.
      1. No more hissing sound on the volume knob. However, I do think that
      this may be a case-by-case scenario, one pot may make the noise, while
      the next one may not.
      2. Of course. Low gain always give the lowest noise floor, blacker
      background, cleanest separation. High gain gives a slightly more dynamic
      sound, more punchy, more lively.

      Hi Ubik,
      I can’t quite rank it like that. Amplifiers come with different characteristics, and what you need to do is find a good match with your prefernce and music.
      Roughly, here is a short guide:
      PB2 – balanced drive, very powerful, fast paced.
      Lisa3 – powerful, single ended, mid and bottom end heavy.
      Pico Slim – good for IEMs, excellent detail and articulation.
      Alo Rx – grain free, very widesoundstage, lively
      TTVJ – good detail, clarity, midrange body.

      To fully exploit the HD650, you need a good balanced desktop amp like the Beta22.

      Indeed it is cost effective. If you’re using the HD650, which is not very current hungry, you can also use the PB-1 as it have enough voltage swing for the HD650. The PB-2 will only give you the benefit of opamp rolling.

        Mike, my main interest in either PB1 or PB2 would be to “pick up” and add life to the HD 650s via balanced drive (You said: “injecting a good dose of pace and making the HD650 feels lighter and more nimble than it normally is”). The HD 650 is just too dark for me. I would, however, also want to be able to drive my AKG K701 (60 Ohm), which has a rather opposite signature. All things considered, could you steer me one way or the other? Thanks.

          Hi Jeff,
          The PB-1 and PB-2 has an almost identical sound signature. For the HD650
          and the K701, I’d rather use the PB-1 which I find has a cleaner sound
          stock compared to the PB-2. With the PB-2 you get to do opamp rolling
          and you have a higher current output, which you don’t need with the
          HD650 (and probably the K701 too).

          If the HD650 is too dark for you, again driving it with a balanced drive
          is not going to turn it into a brighter headphone. It will make the
          HD650s’ pace faster, more nimble, less slow, but it’s still primarily a
          dark headphone.

          As for the K701, I haven’t tried it with the Ibassos, but if I’d have to
          pick, I’d probably use an RSA amp for the K701, simply to add bottom end
          body.

    1) Would the PB1 have enough power to run 600 Ohm DT880’s? PB1 is cheaper (Student budget).
    2) Would the sound signature of the PB2 be better suited for DT880’s or the PB1? Is there a significant difference?

      The PB-1 should have enough power for the DT880. What it needs are voltage, and the PB1 has plenty of it..
      The PB-2’s signature is similar to the PB-1, but you can roll opamps with the PB-2.

      I think it is better to find a darker sounding amp to match with the DT880.

    So in response to some of your comments… Do the PB1 or PB2 outdo desk amps in the same price range? I understand they don’t have the authority of a >$1000 amp but what about that <$250 range. Someone on Headfi was saying they preferred the PB1 to the Schitt Asgard for the HD600. Is it possible I can choose portability and sound just as good at that price range?

      I have never listened to the Asgaard so I cant say.

      The PB2 is very powerful for the price, that without a doubt. But there are other parameters to judge an amplifier by, like resolution, refinement, etc.

      It wouldn’t be a bad pairing, but I don’t think you need a separate amp
      for your B&W P5, let alone something as big as the PB-2. If you want to
      give the Ibasso a try, the PB-1 should be sufficient. The sound
      signature is identical to the PB-2 but with slightly less power (still
      more than enough for your B&W P5).

      I didn’t review the uHA-120 (Lieven did) and so I would answer this based on my experience with the AHA-120 (the bigger version of the uHA-120). 

      In terms of refinement the JustAudio amp is much superior than the Ibasso. The Ibasso PB-2 however currently ranks as the most powerful portable amplifier in the market (at least the ones I’ve tried). However with the HD650 you don’t really need that much current to begin with and so I don’t think you really need to go with the PB-2. Even something like Ibasso’s own P4 would do a better job with the HD650 since it’s a more refined amp than the PB-2.

    Hey Mike,
    Had a question. Can I use headphones with 3.5mm jack to attach with the HR10A 7P 6S adapter to get connection from the balanced headphone output of the PB2 amp? 

    Thanks

      Barun,
      I wouldn’t recommend that since you’ll be shorting the inverted signal of the balanced out. Besides they supplied a 3.5mm output so I don’t see why you need to do that.

        Thanks for the info. So do you think that the 3.5mm output from the PB2 will be enough to power a 600 ohm AKG K141 and 300ohm Senn HD250 LII? 

        Regards

          I think so, yes. Just set the gain on high.

            Thanks. Will be using it to power an ortho as well, called  TDS Echo 16 Kiev, which gets distorted with the cMoy amp, although it has impedance of 16 ohms (inefficient?).  Anyway thanks again.

            Cheers 🙂

              Ummm…

              Thing is the PB-1 is powerful enough for most orthos, especially the older ones that tend to have smaller drivers. It would be best if you can reterminate the headphone to a balanced plug so you can get the full power output of the amp.
              The PB-2 is more powerful, but you shouldn’t need it except for things like the HE-6, which the PB-2 still can’t drive adequately anyway.
              The Cmoy design is quite weak on current so I’m not surprised it distorts your TDS.

          On second thought you don’t even need the PB2 for those 600 ohms dynamics. The PB1 should suffice.

    Hi Mike,
    Just got the PB2, had a question? How do I change the gain settings. If you can tell me how to get the highest gain settings as I can barely hear anything from the 600 ohm  K141  and T1 with the full volume.

      Barun, 
      Take a look at the last photo on page one. You have to open the casing and change the jumper position.

        Yes I did that and there seems to be very little change in the sound. Although when I am using it with my pc/laptop I’m getting it to sound a lot louder then a phone/ portable player.

          That doesn’t sound right. There are four different gain stops, you’ve tried the loudest setting?

            I’m using the same settings you’ve used in the above jumper picture with the only exception that both the right jumper are exactly inverse of the left jumpers. That is the loudest sound I’m apparently getting from the jumper distribution.

              Phew. I don’t know what’s up then. Try asking Ibaso for a replacement?

      Tim,
      I’m probably not the best guy to answer this, but if you have a guitar store in your town, it’ll be best for you to stop by and test them out.
      Personally on the top of my head I’m thinking of monitoring headphones like the Shure SRH-940 or the Beyer DT770.

        I finnaly buy the audio technica pro 700mk2 50 years edition (the store clerk persuade me to buy it… ) but turns out it is a good one, suits me.

        Also already try the ibasso PB-2 with it. But I kind off not like the combinations between those two. It doesnt add more quality as the PB-2 with other headphones.
        Can you help me with this matter?
        Is there any other choice of portable amps? I also try the pico amps but forgot what series. But it also doesnt give much changes on the pro700 quality..
