sounds like you prefer the sound signature of your ibasso over the ODAC
perhaps try some different headphones to see if you really do like the ibasso better, or if its just the AKG/ibasso pairing that you prefer
My system is Macbook/Pure Music(hogmode&memory play enabled), Schitt Asgard amp/AKG701
With the O-dac in the loop the sound is edgy and thin though detailed when I replace it with the iBasso the sound is much fuller and weighty without any hardness yet still detailed.
It does show up poor recordings but the same sonic character is there on high quality rips such as those from Patricia Barber, Holly Cole etc.
My files are all ripped as AIFF.
Maybe it needs to burn in I don't know.
