I hear zero hiss too even with the most sensitive IEMs I own, hiss is not an issue at all, its quieter (as black as the Devil's nutting bag as they say) than Mojo 2 for example.

I'd say as a rule of thumb you'd need to reduce the volume by one click when swapping from single ended to balanced based on my testing so I'm sure you'll be OK.

64 Volur, 4 clicks should get you close to the volume you are listening at now.

Thank you for this feedback!

Got my Elite today and just getting to listen a bit. Will compare with my Mojo2 and Gold Bar.

I noticed that with the iPhone, the included cable at the point where it exits the phone becomes very hot. This has never happened to any of my dongles before. I don't have a thermal imager or an accurate thermometer handy, but it feels uncomfortably hot.
I'll try Elite with other cables I have (l&p, cayin, hiby).

Mine works fine with my iPhone 13 Pro. Could be the cable or some other issue. I would try a different cable.

I think my 14 pro vs your 13 pro it’s the same usb units and should work identical.
BTW, battery consumption near 15% hour.

Perhaps both cable heating and consumption are the result of my low-impedance IEMs (2.1 Ohm). Less Ohms - more Ampers with the same Volts..
Attenuator position - 4-5 clicks when adjusting -2dB from the application.

I noticed the lightning plug getting warm too. My thought was its normal as if it was faulty it would probably not work, get warm or let the magic smoke out, pick any two of these that would not be normal.

As yours and mine get warm its probably OK.

I'd try a different cable, in fact I'll try that later and report back.

For now I'm using the DC Elite with a xDuoo X10T II USB C using a CB19. That gives me a 1% per hour battery consumption and will play for four days non-stop without charging.

Of course, but in this case, in addition to the phone and dongle, you carry 2 additional devices - x10t transport and power bank. And the whole bunch turns from portable to transportable

True. The smaller powerbanks make it not too bad though perhaps there are even smaller ones out there, but I totally get your point I always try and travel as light as possible.

To be honest on the days I just grab a TWS and Bluetooth to my phone I'm not missing much, but Head-Fi is an obsession for a lot of us here.

Is there a device like BTR5/7 that can receive BT signal and output it via USB to the DC-Elite?

 

[Igor1321]

Hello, please don't you know how the coaxial input works on dc Elite?

 

[Igor1321]

I bought this cable but it doesn't work. https://penonaudio.com/3.5mm-coaxial-cable-for-chord-mojo-dap.html

For example, Hiby r2, r3, shanling m0 pro (but it is worth taking into account the size of the battery). Hiby R6 daps (and up). I have an R6 2020, which works great as a USB audio transport (also as a BT receiver). That's an interesting question. Maybe someone knows other solutions to add good quality BT to dc Elite, leaving it as portable and compact as possible with an efficient battery?

Did you connect this cable in both directions? (sorry for this question, but did you switch the dc elite to coax mode?)

 

[Igor1321]

Připojil jsi tento kabel v obou směrech? (omlouvám se za tuto otázku, ale přepnul jste dc elite do koaxiálního reži

Did you connect this cable in both directions? (sorry for this question, but did you switch the dc elite to coax mode?)

Of course

 

[Gww1]

Hello, please don't you know how the coaxial input works on dc Elite?

Just checking you are trying to output coax from the DC Elite and not input coax?
Because you mentioned input and I believe it can only give coax out.

Edited with coax instead of optical
