It doesn't work with some of the quick chargers. I use a few 2 and 3 amp chargers with no issue.
Ibasso PB5 the next dedicated portable Amplifier

It seems to only work with QC or regular chargers, and only USB-A to USB-C. It will not work with Power Delivery.

Yeah, PB5 only made to work with usb-A to usb-C cables.
Not USB-C to USB-C.
I unplug it and replug it quickly before I start using it so it charges as its in use.
I never have had it turn off on me during a normal sitting.

Oh ok, that’s ok but I really wanted to get away from USB A and now I have to hold on to that one USB A to C cable.
Had a quick listen and it does add significant sub bass. I like bassy amp like Schiit Mjolnir 3

Love the Doga profile pic! Brings back memories!
And welcome to the club!I wish they had some indicator to give indication on charge level of battery…right now there is no way to know the status of battery.
Does somebody use this amp in a desktop setup? Does it have any way to handle the battery if one would run it constantly on external power?

I've been using this as my desktop amp w/ my Gustard a22 DAC.
I turn the PB5 off when not in use, and I haven't found a shift of sound with warm up.
After turning it on for a session, I just unplug & replug the charging-cable.
This is one thick and heavy stack. The thickness can be felt in sound as well.
I like to roam around when listening to IEM and I love the bass impact of this stack. PB5 to IEMS is what Schiit Mjolnir 3 is to headphones. Both are fun and bassy. So would love to carry this while listening to my IEM on the move. Only issue is to hold it together when on move. Ideas from experienced users are welcome

Classic solution is to use velcro. Stick the rough side on the Ibasso PB5 and the soft side on the dap (soft side on dap incase you ever use it alone, so it can slip into a pocket).

Velcro is always the best solution
Great advice. Adding to it: if you don't like to stick Velcro onto your expensive device or even onto your leather case, wrap wide one-wrap velcro around each of your device, stack them, and then one-wrap them together.

I wrap them, it is more secured, but also can leave indent on the leather cases. But that’s ways better than risk dropping it lol
Which eletech cable are you using there if you don’t mind me asking? For your xe6?This is one thick and heavy stack. The thickness can be felt in sound as well.
