IBasso DC-Elite . . . The no compromise DAC/AMP with a true Stepped Attenuator

What’s the small pocket for? Any thoughts on whether the iPhone can power it properly?

Its for the USB cable as it shows in the photo. My iPhone 15 Pro has no issues powering the DC Elite but the phone battery drains quite quickly.

Nice. What are you using as a right angle adaptor? Does it need to be specific or any old one off Amazon?

I noticed you changed the band…. Nice

No. There is no app yet. Hopefully at some point they will think about it.

The app is nice to have, but other than changing the filter from d1 to d2, there’s not a ton of functionality you are missing out on with the DC Elite. I have an old Android tablet that I use when I feel like changing the settings, which hasn’t been often because it is pretty great out of the box.

Hi all - I'm trying to connect my DC-Elite to my xduoo XD05T via coaxial/optical and I'm using a standard 3.5 mm cable on both ends. I know the DC-Elite needs to light white but it's showing no signal when I set it to receive on the amp. Do I need a different kind of 3.5mm cable?

Thanks!

I'm reading around. Do I have to use a 4-pole 3.5mm?

Yes, the DC-Elite end of the cable needs to be 4-pole.

Got it. Thank you!

Hi, can DC-Elite fit the Lepic Dac Pocket Magsafe? Have anyone try this?

Their new "large" sku has the Elite in one of its product photos!

I just ordered one yesterday to try it out. Should have it in a couple of days.

Was delivered today. Seems well built. Magnet strength is good. Elastic and stitching seems durable. Adds minimal bulk to a setup and the end result is more pleasing then options that have visible bands. The DC Elite is on the maximum of what it will fit, but it fits as they depicted it. Took a bit of stretching from one side while pushing it in from the other. Ends with it held in there very securely. I don’t think it’s one to use if you want to take it in and out all the time, but if you want to leave it in the holder then I think it will work out well. Also the extra loop to either hold your USB cable or to route your headphone cable is nifty.

And let’s not forget the times you need a bit more power…

Add a MagSafe ring sticker to the back of a MagSafe battery that has a USB A port.

Received mine today also and I can concur with all of your statements exactly. Thanks for the suggestion on it. Have on order the fiio MagSafe band attachment but I think this is going to be a cleaner setup. I have a jar full of usb right, left, and center angled adapters so I was able to make it fit well enough for now. Which right angle cable are you using, the ddhifi?

Yessir, it’s one of their older ones which are a bit tricky to find. Looks like Audio46 still has some:

I also noticed they have a newer version as well:
