Nice review mate :3 Man, i know for a fact that the DC Elite is also better than the DC07 Pro, so i'm kinda curious what would you think about the DCE vs W2U lol

@vandung2510 the DCE is definitely better than W2U as well. I have heard it briefly, but the person who owned both the DCE and W2U...nahh let's call him. Oy @Sonic Sleuth , come here and tell us about DCE vs. W2U.

Based on my own listening experiences, here's my take on these two dongles:
DC Elite
* It nails that balanced, neutral-reference sound, and adds just a hint of oomph to the sub-bass and treble. Detail retrieval is honestly mind-blowing for a dongle. Timbre is spot-on. But it does have a few little quirks:
* There's that tiny pause when you adjust the volume, thanks to the stepped attenuator.
* iBasso hasn't released an iOS app yet, so no filter tweaks if you're on iPhone.
* It's quite bulky and thick for a dongle.
W2 Ultra
* This one adds a subtle touch of warmth to the mix. It's got that smooth, fun tuning that's just easy to listen to. Bass is controlled but has some weight to it, and there's a gentle lift in the upper mids and lower treble. It's maybe not quite as detailed as the Elite, but it's still top-tier in that department, and timbre is excellent too.
Hope this helps!
