I am glad you are enjoying the DC-Elite. It is, after all, all about the music! :^)I recently received this little green miracle, it sounds amazing with Enigmas, I didn’t even expect that it sounds at the level of expensive DAPs.
But it needs power from a power bank, with additional power it sounds great.
Stay updated on iBasso at their sponsor profile on Head-Fi.

Yeah, but the music on the better gear is more enjoyable

Anyone tried the Y cable with a stationary USB charger and if yes will a female to female USB-C adapter work to get it connected using a standard usb C cable as extension?

Yes a female to female usb-c connector works.

Hi! just a question. I try to look in this thread but I still don't understand one thing.
I have Fiio KA17, i can activate with a button Desktop Mode. With Desktop mode, the phone battery drops fast, but i know.
This DC-Elite how works?
On request, can it take extra power from the phone?
Or is always necessary a powerbank? thank you!
(i think is a good upgrade for me, but i don't want use powerbank )

It works fine straight from a phone but why use up the phone battery if you can add a small power bank but if one isn't desired, you don't need to use it.Hi! just a question. I try to look in this thread but I still don't understand one thing.

What is the correct voltage? Some power supplies or power banks generate from 4.9 to 5.3V. What is better to choose? Does it matter? - @Paul - iBasso can you help a little here?I recently received this little green miracle, it sounds amazing with Enigmas, I didn’t even expect that it sounds at the level of expensive DAPs.

Tthe adapters in the last photos (female C to C and A to C and 360` C to C) turned out to be very useful for me in organizing cables on the desk, when the elite is standing vertically it is very easy to adjust the volume)Anyone tried the Y cable with a stationary USB charger and if yes will a female to female USB-C adapter work to get it connected using a standard usb C cable as extension?

(I apologize for my English, and if I use other DAC's brands to make myself better understood)It works fine straight from a phone but why use up the phone battery if you can add a small power bank but if one isn't desired, you don't need to use it.
This iBasso DC-Elite, or i think product like iFi Go Bar Kensei, are little product, with nothing (no BT, no battery...) is a DAC with important price! so i think work amazing for take music from the phone and put in my headphones in the best way possible!
In my mind, if i have to add extra battery, i take another product... Fiio Q7, Q15, Gryphon, X05Pro...
Of course, i look with KA17, is very confort possibility to put USB and don't drain battery on my phone!
but in my case I'm sure I would use it 80% of the time without extra power, that's why I asked the question above
I think is a best product for me...
