IBasso DC-Elite . . . The no compromise DAC/AMP with a true Stepped Attenuator

Just got the Elite, what a great device! It sucks the juice from my SR35 so the Y split cable is a godsend. I don't know if it's the dongle or the player, but my RS2 could feed the Mojo2 for hours without losing charge.
How is the Elite compared to your SR35?

The background is extremely black, that's what I noticed instantly. Depth might have gotten better too, and separation. But those two are minute details, the blackness alone makes this purchase worth it :)

DC Elite is much better, it performs in DAP rank 1000-1500€...
I confirm your words, this is true.
Perhaps it is no better than a DAP for 1500 dollars, but it is definitely no worse.

I like the sound of the DC Elite when I listen to HiFiMan HE-1000se headphones, when I listen to ROON on the computer + ASIO and connect the DC Elite to the power bank, this gives additional energy to the DC Elite.

How's the Gryphon compare with the DC-Elite sound-wise?

@Paul - iBasso Hi Paul - do you plan to update the software in the future? I think it would be nice to have the additional option of PCM Volue Reduction to -3 and -4dB. Additional filters would be nice (D3 and D4?). I have been with dc elite for several months and I can only emphasize once again - you have done something phenomenal. Dc is not an amplifier that I would classify in the dongle or dap category. I don't know how it happened, but this little crazy thing is a full-fledged dac/amp 4me - that's all.
