DC Elite has taken up a lot of my recent listening time. Sounds fantastic with fuller-sounding sets like Ronin and Trifecta. Great air and soundstage but more precise than the RU7.Looking at 3 options for a new toy for my collection. Which of these do the great and good of the watercooler tribe think would be my best purchase?
1. ibasso DC elite
2. Luxury and Precision W4
And the wild card in the options
3.Sony ZX707(Japanese edition)
RU7 is the best value of all to me - incredible depth and musicality. A tad less attack on the transients, typical of 1-bit.
W4 was my biggest let-down of last year. Not as musical as RU7, nor as good with depth, costs a bunch more and still not the precision or dynamism of the DC Elite.
On a budget with neutral/brighter sets RU7 is still the leader.
Bass/full/warm sets = DC Elite
This is why I have both!
