Thanks for the information, I go and read about it now.
Right now, I really been enjoying my Ibasso D16 + PB5 combo with Audio Technica ATH-IEX1, sounds really surreal!
You are right that it would be fun to have more comparison info between D16 and Onix XP1, after all they are in the same price range and both "transportable" DAC/AMP. What I would have loved is if Headfonics would have connected them both in LO to the same amp, like PB5 so we could have more "objective" info on their DAC sound signature without the influence of their amp section. My interpretation of the Headfonics review makes it sound like D16 is more neutral but at the same time they write more analog, go figure! In theory at least, I would assume that the D16 DAC would have a more natural, analog sound and the AKM driven XP1 DAC would have a more "digital" sounding signature DAC section. Anyway, that's all fun to write about but it's those folks that have the pleasure to listen to both that have all the real fun!
Trying out the dc-elite tomorrow and it is for portability. May end up with a bigger non-portable things down the road Fun Fun Fun! Bet the d16 is fantastic. Hope to try it out soon

Very cool! That is good to know. I am actually going to sell the VC. Planning to list them here soon. I got them for recording music and listening to music. Unfortunately, they leak just enough sound for my sensitive mic to pic up the sound of a metronome etc. Just bought the CA Stellar Horizon to take the VC place. Probably a pretty unique use case here. Other than that, I really love the VCs... So beautiful to look at and listening experience.
