iBasso DX180 Got your music? Enjoy the concert! Released and ready to play.
Perhaps, but sound is a subjective matter, there is also the synergy factor. Certainly, in terms of utility, it creates a broader perspective in terms of speed and operating time, replaceable battery and new Android.- quaddac

XDUoo XD05PRO
I received the repaired device and information that the entire power supply system had been replaced and the battery was ok. Unfortunately, the xd05 pro makes noise with all my iems (vulkan, twilight, monarch mk3, sultan). It doesn't matter in what mode, batt or ext, and what opamps I use. On...- quaddac

🙂 Great, I have no doubt (maybe you will be able to find out what the power supply issue on your device looks like, which I asked about earlier, of course, if you find the time, I realize how much fun you are having now :wink: ).- quaddac

Install factory opamps. You can use regular nail clippers. Try to grab the pins closest to the board.- quaddac

XDUoo XD05PRO
I think you should carefully and precisely grind or trim the solders of the opamps so that they do not touch the capacitors. Guys, do units with an orange USB power port boot properly in ext mode in all gain modes? Especially in turbo mode. I have in mind a complete "new" connection, including...- quaddac

IBasso DC-Elite . . . The no compromise DAC/AMP with a true Stepped Attenuator
Elite is definitely on the neutral side with significant analytical potential. But it catches well with warmer headphones/iems (transport should also be a bit warmer if you want a warmer signature). 3.5 - no problem.- quaddac

IBasso DC-Elite . . . The no compromise DAC/AMP with a true Stepped Attenuator
@Paul - iBasso Hi Paul - do you plan to update the software in the future? I think it would be nice to have the additional option of PCM Volue Reduction to -3 and -4dB. Additional filters would be nice (D3 and D4?). I have been with dc elite for several months and I can only emphasize once...- quaddac

The iBasso Dongle DAC Thread – DC03 Pro | DC04 Pro | DC06 Pro | DC Elite | ...
My xd05 pro is still under repair (for a long time). I don't have the rohm module, but I'm sure it's a completely different implementation. Dc elite is very bassy, dynamic, detailed and has a slightly recessed midrange, but this is actually very good for W-shaped headphones. From what I read...- quaddac

The iBasso Dongle DAC Thread – DC03 Pro | DC04 Pro | DC06 Pro | DC Elite | ...
I'm just after comparing ru7 and elite. Maybe this will help you indirectly: DC Elite vs. RU7 Dc Elite: very dynamic, more accurate, faster bass, slightly cooler presentation - e.g. with Monarch MkIII it is worth trying the d2 filter and SE, but with Noble Audio Sultan not necessarily. The weak...- quaddac

IBasso DC-Elite . . . The no compromise DAC/AMP with a true Stepped Attenuator
I think it's definitely not worth doing it unconsciously, it's better to listen first, because it costs a lot. In my opinion, the differences will be mainly related to the aspect of synergy and preference rather than performance. Even if you want to get 10%, which is not so obvious, in my...- quaddac

IBasso DC-Elite . . . The no compromise DAC/AMP with a true Stepped Attenuator
If you hear a difference of 10%, I must say that in these circumstances, in my opinion, it is really a lot and I can only congratulate you. If you can't hear anything, it may be a matter of headphones... It may also be a matter of concentration, fatigue, mood...- quaddac
