That's too bad ... I guess I need to look for other DAP.I don’t think so every time I try to used the usb-C to another amp like woo audio mini it won’t work or my if I blu.
It works for me with Xduoo Xd05 ProI don’t think so every time I try to used the usb-C to another amp like woo audio mini it won’t work or my if I blu.
just get mine 
The sound is very good, but it is a little bit weird that you can adjust volume when switch to LO mode.
or did I set it wrong?

got it!Ibasso did that purposely as many find that useful to be able to adjust LO volume.
another problem is if I scan my SD card under mango OS, it will crash and didn't add anything to my library, but I can still find my music with folder and everything is fine under android, so it still can work, just I may not use mongo OS anymore.
If you are doing local play only get Neutron. Best sounding but bad UI players I have used. I just do folder view as that is how I have my music organized. Mango player has its issues. It is likely a tag or something that is messing it up. There are tools that you can use to scan and correct stuff like that.got it!

This is useful when I pair with external amp such as tube amp with IEM… I usually need to tune down the volumejust get mine

As a DC Elite Owner, I've been devouring this thread to learn what I can expect from a DX260. I am SO ENAMOURED with the sound coming from Elite that I kind of decided to pick up a DX320 Max - But the thing is just too big for me; I can handle the size no problem but I travel and I run a daily Podcast which means I've got mics, PCs, cameras with me whether on a simple road trip or taking off on one of my summer Harley adventures. I can justify the size of the MAX but I'm unwilling to carry not just two, but two different chargers for it.... SO I'm looking for a close alternative. Part of me thinks to myself, "Just go get a cheap unlocked phone with large battery and simply strap the Elite onto it and you've got an outstanding DAP - and I may just do that - but I need to ask the collctive wisdom and experience here -for those who have or have had both the Elite and the 260, how close are they? I mean I really LOVE the Elite and I know what I'm getting with it - so using a cheap phone with no sim could be the answer, but having what I'm looking for rolled into one package (a DAP) is quite appealing . I dont use Headphones; I'm strictly IEM - so, how does the DX stack up against the Elite?
Hello @Paul - iBasso How about taking the DC Elite, sticking it in a bigger Chassis, putting a screen on it and giving it one Big Ass Battery - that would be my jam!

Here's another question:
Way back in this thread somewhere between page 30 and 50, someone posted their android settings - all the android services they disabled - to conserve battery without losing function. I've been looking to find it, but no search I've tried, pulls it up..... can someone point me to that post or similar instructions?
Thanks

Ah yes; the DC Elite and just a phone.. I went down that road for a while and there is a lot to recommend it. But in the end that’s not what this hobby is all about for me;As a DC Elite Owner, I've been devouring this thread to learn what I can expect from a DX260.

I like daps - a (wonderful) waste of money perhaps - I ended up selling the DC Elite and bought a DX260.
I do not miss the DCE.

OK that says alot. Yes, I love Daps too but I am addicted to the sound coming from this Elite, I mean I really can't get enough of it. I'm rediscovering all my albums a new life coming to iems I walked away from! Appreciate the input.Ah yes; the DC Elite and just a phone..

Sounds to me like you have achieved that elusive state we’re all looking for; satisfaction.OK that says alot.

Appreciate the input.
Why worry about what might be better; you found it.
