It seems AliExpress can't ship most knob to Germany. However, I did a quick search and found a few on Amazon Germany. It will be much more expensive, but at least it is available. Just search for '15 x 12.5mm knob' or '15 x 13mm knob) there.

Those in your AliExpress link are all too big.

Can you clarify the width and height dimensions. 15mm tall or wide?

Thank you.

15mm diameter and 12 to 13 mm long. The D shaft is 6mm in diameter.

To elaborate, the original knob is 15mm in diameter, 9mm in height, and with a D / half shaft, so you want to avoid anything wider or shorter. As noted by @piphil previous post, not all knobs with set screws can be used as some might be just a little too tall (in set screw position) to fit securely.

I just got my dc elite pro and it just straight up doesnt want to work with my iPhone while it works perfectly with my laptop. anybody got a similar experience?

We have tested the DC-Elite with many IEMs and even Headphones. It drives our SR3 without issue and other headphones that are harder to drive. If your phone has too much current draw from the load of a device, it is a safety feature to shut down the output.

Did you try it with other phones? We have various iPhones here and the DC-Elite caused no issues.

Anyone feel that the DC Elite gets louder on iPhone compared to Android?

For example, for the Vision Ears EXT I need 6 steps on iPhone 14 Pro vs 9 on the Sony Xperia 10 V.

Media volume is max on the Sony.

By the way, @Paul - iBasso :
Please,
Can you give us a concrete answer about the future of Iphone-specific software?
Thanks in advance.

After an e-mail contact, i receive an answer from Paul :
We would like to have an app for the IOS but we have no way of making software that will work in the Apple system.

It has been mentioned before
Most DAP producers have hired naturally developers for Android ecosystem.
Therefore there's a lack of experience and staff for other ecosystems.

 

[piphil]

I hadn't seen.
And that's a shame when you're selling an iPhone-compatible product...

Qudelix and Fiio seem to be able to do it.

Qudelix and Fiio seem to be able to do it.

I agree, some have stronger focus on software development.
Qdelix is actually living from the quality and features of the software as a standalone feature.
Haven't seen anything comparable on the market.

Ibasso is focusing more on hardware development and they re setting benchmarks here regularly.
I see the DC Elite as a no compromise Dongle in the footsteps of DX320 Max and therefore I am forgiving the lack of usability even though I also had my concerns before

Overall I don’t think the lack of an app is a deal breaker, the default settings on these dongles are most likely to give their best performance anyway. However it is incredibly silly that they cannot hire a single iOS developer. Every single time they release a new dongle there’s a chorus of “where’s the iOS app??”

Each time a new product is released, they would have to then update and change the app again. I use an iPhone 13PRO and it works excellent with it. From what I have read, if you really want to change something, put it on an Android device, make the changes and they are kept with the DC Elite when you change back but for me, I don't have any need to change anything. My Sony R-10 sound excellent our of it so there isn't anything I would change. No DAP I have heard sounds this good.

Because I have an iPhone I don’t have any Android devices, and that only works for the DC Elite anyway. If they are offering a software solution, of course they have to keep it updated. They could have given us the option to make these changes in hardware, but opted not to, and people are right to call foul on the fact that the software excludes one of the major smartphone ecosystems.

Does anyone have experience and/or opinions on whether the DC Elite would be able to drive planar headphones like the ZMF Atrium, Diana MR, or Empyrean 2 to their full potential?
