Elite is definitely on the neutral side with significant analytical potential. But it catches well with warmer headphones/iems (transport should also be a bit warmer if you want a warmer signature). 3.5 - no problem.

@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...

Fortunately, the name also matches the quality (or vice versa, if you prefer) 😂

My xd05 pro is still under repair (for a long time). I don't have the rohm module, but I'm sure it's a completely different implementation. Dc elite is very bassy, dynamic, detailed and has a slightly recessed midrange, but this is actually very good for W-shaped headphones. From what I read...

I'm just after comparing ru7 and elite. Maybe this will help you indirectly: DC Elite vs. RU7 Dc Elite: very dynamic, more accurate, faster bass, slightly cooler presentation - e.g. with Monarch MkIII it is worth trying the d2 filter and SE, but with Noble Audio Sultan not necessarily. The weak...

I think it's definitely not worth doing it unconsciously, it's better to listen first, because it costs a lot. In my opinion, the differences will be mainly related to the aspect of synergy and preference rather than performance. Even if you want to get 10%, which is not so obvious, in my...

If you hear a difference of 10%, I must say that in these circumstances, in my opinion, it is really a lot and I can only congratulate you. If you can't hear anything, it may be a matter of headphones... It may also be a matter of concentration, fatigue, mood...

:thumbsup:

This is not quite the right assumption, although it is quite logical. However, according to Ibasso engineers, the elite is a direct reference to the 320 max. 260 and elite are completely different topology.

Yes, iem and elite can be problematic, especially the brighter sensitive ones. On the other hand, I recently tried elite with aeon x and elite handled them even via se. I also think the Elite with full-size headphones is incredibly good.

You are absolutely right, there is always the question of synergies or disadvantages that the sources may have. Fortunately, sources can also work great in chains:

I am in this place now and I will definitely stay here longer:

I really appreciate dc elite. I am almost certain that a slightly warmer source than the DC Elite (which is slightly U-shaped), with a slightly emphasized center, will release the mk3's potential in this area. Vocals (especially female) and brass instruments will shine, and the whole will be...

No detailed data at this time.

Low, mid or high gain? I noticed that at high gain the sound is most balanced and even at loud volume nothing is sharp or piercing.

We have to wait a while _

OK, so what is the voltage of the charger before connecting to the xd05 pro?

Have you tried the D2 filter? I'm listening now with Monarch mk3 and it's great (I removed a bit of EQ in the treble area). Great synergy with the denon 9200, which are also bright headphones.

Something like that. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/the-ibasso-dongle-dac-thread-%E2%80%93-dc03-pro-dc04-pro-dc06-pro-dc-elite.967987/post-17951040 And a few other things...

I think this is an attempt to implement a very high quality audio transport project. Anyone who has a DAP (or phone) knows what interference can occur. I'm curious if this attempt was successful. Fragment of the original description:: "The USB signal purity far surpasses that of smartphones and...
