Unfortunately this one seems to be the real deal (IEMs mostly)

It absolutely is the real deal. A DAP killer real deal!

I’m beginning to believe that is true. One thing of note… If you listen to a power hungry set, turn the attenuator down as soon as you finish listening to avoid a blown eardrum if the next set doesn’t need much power

No blown eardrums thankfully, but had a bit of a shock when I changed headphones! Lesson learned.

I dont know about dc-elite, but ru6 + ibasso dx300 sounds better than dx300 alone (for my taste)!!!!

I can not listen and work effectively. It is like, if not listening, you are missing a real performance. I don't care if someone thinks I am hyping or other people are thought to be hyping. If you haven't heard this, you don't know. And if I read and not heard, I would assume well it most likely is good but come on. . . stop already.

This is no trick, they have figured out something I have been waiting to hear since CDs came out with digital.

I don’t know why I can’t increase volume from here on my iPhone but only by the attenuator, so to be true I don’t increase volume by raising it up but by increasing the Power What? Lol

Spot on! I thought perhaps I was gushing a bit with my initial thoughts, but really, I will be revisiting some (a lot) of my favourite music just because of the Elite. IBasso have a real hit on their hands. I hope it sells well for them. And I look forward to the next incarnation ( in a couple years..). I was initially interested in the DX260 and had decided to go for it if the Elite was not up to par; That is no longer the case (sorry iBasso).

My M3 Ultra volume doesn’t work either - the attenuator does the job - I like it. Apparently Apple doesn’t allow you to use the phone’s volume control. Along with Shanling by all accounts..

I Think it is also some kind of protection to avoid the risk of becoming Deaf lol, and on the other hand I like it too )

I'm just amazed that something the size of a Zippo lighter packs this much audio goodness. This is only dongle I own that makes the Moondrop Variations a better than good IEM

I'm also deciding between Elite and DX260. I'm just afraid that the Elite will "drink too much battery" from my LG V40.

new iBasso y-cable with small power bank and problem solved

That’s a fair consideration. Maybe invest in a CB19 and a small Anker powerbank. Still miles ahead price-wise.
I have a battery pack for my iPhone that will keep it charged (magnetically) while I use the Elite.

Do you guys think the Elite sounds better than the DX260? I was basically thinking about the LG V40 + DC Elite and the Meze 109 Pro. Although I would prefer just one device like the DX-260

For me, both burned in, they are just very different and frankly, both very enjoyable. They are really very different IMO and complement each other in that way.
