Andysaudiovault's favourite dongle is FC6 and he rates it even higher than the Elite. Ive compared them both and sold the FC6 the next day after the Elite came.
The Hiby has fantastic dac but it doesnt really stand up to the Elite in overall sound presentation. Its just too intimate, it sounds like a very good dongle or a mid tier dap. It doesnt have these qualities that higher end daps and the Elite have- the maturity and subtlety, evenness, neutrality and a spacious and holographic soundstage (at least not to this degree).
The Elite maybe doesnt beat TOTL daps but it comes really close. Im raving about this device because its the first time in this hobby when i hear such a small and "cheap" source competing on the same level with devices 3-5 times bigger and 3-4 times more expensive. The sound just doesnt have any compromises.
