how does dc elite sound compared to hiby rs8?

Not in the same playing field RS8 is a monster . but i dare to say DC elite can compete with RS6 just different sound profile. Hiby tend to have smoother treble not peaky while remaining spacious and holographic. Hiby also tend to have neutral warm signature. Bass also stronger and louder with DC elite. Dc elite is more neutral but with fun signature (again, extra treble and bass). DC elite have this analytical tendency while Hiby have this musical smooth tendency.

I can't notice the Elite being a problem for bright IEMs. I did a quick test just now using my ie600, often described as bright and peaky in the treble. In the song “Royals - Lorde”, for example, in the first 30 seconds, there is a high beat that is interspersed with a sub-low beat. On the RU7, often described as “natural and almost analogue sounding”, this high pitch bothered my ears and on the DC-Elite I heard it naturally without hurting. I tried to make the best possible volume match in this little test. It is worth noting that the bass in these 30 seconds that I mentioned above is more pleasurable and full on the DC-elite. This could defeat any argument that RU7 is at higher volume. The Elite is my best dongle. Competing with my Ifi Gold Bar. But, definitely, the Elite easily wins over the Gold Bar when we talk about background noise for sensitive IEMs. Total silence at Elite. Great dongle!!!

I use the CB19 with all my dongles.
I feel a substantial improvement through powering a power bank.
