    The iBasso Dongle DAC Thread – DC03 Pro | DC04 Pro | DC06 Pro | DC Elite | ...

    You know what? I found the receipt and I actually bought it at Audio46, I was confusing it with the DC04 Pro I bought at the same time which I did get from Aliexpress. Do I need to go through them or can I message you for service?

    The iBasso Dongle DAC Thread – DC03 Pro | DC04 Pro | DC06 Pro | DC Elite | ...

    I tested the DC06 Pro with a different USB cable with my phone as well as my iPad and had the same issues across cables and devices. I plugged in my DC04 Pro to my phone using the same cable that I used last night on the 06 Pro and it played perfectly. Given that I've seen more than one person...

    The iBasso Dongle DAC Thread – DC03 Pro | DC04 Pro | DC06 Pro | DC Elite | ...

    This just happened to me too, horrible static and squealing sounds. The green light came out so it was getting the signal. Extremely disappointing. I bought this one through aliexpress so likely won’t get support from iBasso on this. I’ll have to test with another cable tomorrow to see if that’s...

    Does the R3 II have enough power to reliably run the DC Elite, and if so for how long? I’ve wanted a DAP to use as a transport but without a battery in the dongle the battery of the DAP is of utmost importance.

    Longer term update, I’ve had the GS2 powered on since I got it. It’s the best I’ve ever heard music sound, on speakers or on headphones (my amp for both is a Ragnarok 1, headphone is ZMF Auteur). I have no desire to hear any other DAC at this point and I actually haven’t put on a single vinyl...

    Does this player do bitperfect? I’m always paranoid with Android based players.

    Not sure if you have already made a purchase but I also have and love the DC03 Pro, tried the DC04 Pro and DC06 Pro. To my ears, DC06 Pro is like a supercharged DC03 Pro. Better resolution/detail, better control over the drivers on the headphone/IEM. I highly recommend it.

    Anyone using DC Elite with the IE600? Curious as to the synergy on that combo.

    USB-C to 3.5mm adapters (DAC) - Let's find the best

    I ordered this from Amazon and tried it today. I do hear an improvement with the iBasso DC06 Pro. Sounds like a blacker background and perhaps a bit more clarity. It does make me curious to hear something like a DC Elite with this setup.

    Why not just unplug the cable if you’re not going to use it for so long that it requires turning off?

    Depending on the rest of your system, Unison might be lending a pleasing tinge of flavoring in that to my ears it leans slightly warm. Given how neutral MIB is meant to be, that could be welcome.

    I've spent years trying various USB implementations, and decrapifiers and other gadgets designed to "fix" USB. Around eight years ago I also began playing with Raspberry Pi hats that bypassed USB completely. I now run a Pi2AES off a Pi 4, with the 5v PSU mod. Over those eight years up to today...

    I received a GS2 recently and it’s really an absolute steal for the level of DAC you’re getting. The A1 boards still sound absolutely brilliant, and the new chassis is such an improvement over the old one. If you’re at all curious about the Yggdrasil, you should take the plunge. I’ve heard the...

    Jason also said they're always looking for ways to improve on Yggy, and that this ultimate Yggy is more of a blue sky thing (I believe the quote was "you'll be dead before you see it").
