Uhhhh huh,,huh... I've just spent 460 on the DC Elite buddy. I know what PEQ is. I'm expecting great things from the DCE
So, you’re expecting the DCE to replace having to use PEQ on your Qudelix? Hmmm….that might be a stretch for the DCE to accomplish. The DCE is not going to magically change the frequency bands of your fav music 😲

Personaly i dont like chord but if you like this features like peq. Mojo 2 is better for this has button for change profiles sound i think. Dc elite is straight device with neutral touch warmer detailed sound without features.

I'll take the brunt natural force of DCs renowned soundstage and technicals, and if i want to do a simple EQ through Wavelet i will. The Mojo2 controls are silly. I never got in to PEQ on the Q5K much really. , I just set it manually till it sounded fine. Elevate bass here elevate treble there. Wavelet will do me. I understand that DCE is featureless by comparison. That's why with cables and now a power bank I've pad more that 500 for it! So , is there anything nice you can say about the DCE?.. Also , what's the powerbank people are going for.. Is it Sharge?

Personaly i like dc elite more than qutest for iems. It is only device that reminds me gustard a 26 but its just me something like said i pay 500 dolars etc so must be realy good dont work. Gustard cost much more is better especialy with gsx mini but anything about money related is just for you. Theres no say like i think it is better than everything portable i listen in my life yes is true but it is just me observation my feel nobody will say you is worth etc is just you who must know it.

So for me coming from Qudelix 5K it will be amazing. Looking forward to it!

Any mini power powerbank recommendations?

We only shrink wrap for a few areas, where it is requested or needed. Most all of our products are not shrink wrapped.
