I recently received this little green miracle, it sounds amazing with Enigmas, I didn’t even expect that it sounds at the level of expensive DAPs.
But it needs power from a power bank, with additional power it sounds great.

I am glad you are enjoying the DC-Elite. It is, after all, all about the music! :^)

Yeah, but the music on the better gear is more enjoyable

Anyone tried the Y cable with a stationary USB charger and if yes will a female to female USB-C adapter work to get it connected using a standard usb C cable as extension?

Yes a female to female usb-c connector works.

Hi! just a question. I try to look in this thread but I still don't understand one thing.

I have Fiio KA17, i can activate with a button Desktop Mode. With Desktop mode, the phone battery drops fast, but i know.

This DC-Elite how works?

On request, can it take extra power from the phone?

Or is always necessary a powerbank? thank you!

(i think is a good upgrade for me, but i don't want use powerbank )

It works fine straight from a phone but why use up the phone battery if you can add a small power bank but if one isn't desired, you don't need to use it.

What is the correct voltage? Some power supplies or power banks generate from 4.9 to 5.3V. What is better to choose? Does it matter? - @Paul - iBasso can you help a little here?

Tthe adapters in the last photos (female C to C and A to C and 360` C to C) turned out to be very useful for me in organizing cables on the desk, when the elite is standing vertically it is very easy to adjust the volume)

I connected a longer cable via a TypeC - TypeC adapter, it works.

I think 5.3Volt is better

My power bank produces 5 V / 3A

(I apologize for my English, and if I use other DAC's brands to make myself better understood)
This iBasso DC-Elite, or i think product like iFi Go Bar Kensei, are little product, with nothing (no BT, no battery...) is a DAC with important price! so i think work amazing for take music from the phone and put in my headphones in the best way possible!

In my mind, if i have to add extra battery, i take another product... Fiio Q7, Q15, Gryphon, X05Pro...

Of course, i look with KA17, is very confort possibility to put USB and don't drain battery on my phone!

but in my case I'm sure I would use it 80% of the time without extra power, that's why I asked the question above

I think is a best product for me...
