DESCRIPTION
IBASSO PROUDLY PRESENTS THE LATEST ADDITION TO THE DC SERIES OF DAC & AMP - THE DC ELITE
Inspired by the groundbreaking DX320MAX, the iBasso DC-Elite stands at the summit of flagship dongles, embodying the pinnacle of audio innovation. Boasting cutting-edge technology and premium materials, such as the ROHM BD34301EKV DAC chip, a sophisticated 24-position 4-section stepped attenuator, and a titanium exterior, the DC-Elite is a testament to iBasso's unwavering commitment to audio excellence. Notably, in the Japan VGP2024 selection, the DC-Elite achieved unprecedented success, securing the Gold Award in the Portable Amp and DAC division and earning the prestigious Portable Audio Grand Award, a remarkable feat for a Chinese HiFi product. This accolade further solidifies the DC-Elite's position as a groundbreaking and award-winning audio solution in the global market.
FLAGSHIP CURRENT OUTPUT DAC CHIP WITH FPGA ALGORITHM AND NDK FEMTOSECOND OSCILLATOR
The iBasso DC Elite employs cutting-edge technologies and advanced components to deliver pristine audio quality. At the heart of its capabilities is the integration of a flagship current output DAC chip, specifically the groundbreaking ROHM BD34301EKV. This marks a historic milestone as the first instance of such technology being incorporated into a dongle. The DAC, complemented by carefully crafted circuitry, contributes to an enhanced dynamic range, an expanded soundstage, and elevated high-fidelity audio performance for the DC-Elite. Furthermore, the device harnesses iBasso's in-house developed FPGA algorithm, leveraging the NDK femtosecond oscillator to achieve remarkably low jitter. This meticulous engineering results in minimal distortion, offering a substantial improvement in the overall quality of the musical sound.
POWERFUL AMP STAGE WITH 24-POSITION, 4-SECTION STEPPED ATTENUATOR FOR VOLUME CONTROL
The iBasso DC Elite features a comprehensive player architecture, sequencing from FPGA to DAC, I/V, LPF, VOL, and AMP. With its core built around the flagship DAC chip BD34301EKV and equipped with 6 dual OPAMPs, this compact device achieves outstanding playback performance. Its innovative structural design, adopting a distinctive arrangement, sets it apart from competitors and represents a substantial leap in sound quality. iBasso has redefined the traditional 24-position, 4-section stepped attenuator by compressing its volume to one-tenth of the original size, ensuring channel imbalance tolerance below 0.1dB. Pioneering the use of this attenuator, crafted for DX320MAX, in the DC-Elite eliminates the bit reduction issue in digital volume adjustment. The DC-Elite excels in the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at regular volume with a 320 load, ranging from approximately 50mV to 100mV output, surpassing other dongle products in this aspect.
EMBEDDED WITH VARIOUS ADVANCED POWER SUPPLY TECH AND DUAL HEADPHONE OUTPUT PORTS
The iBasso DC-Elite excels in its high-efficiency power supply featuring a synchronous DC-DC converter and in integrating ultra-low noise LDOs from Linear Technology, a hallmark previously reserved for flagship audio players. With noise levels as low as 0.8μV, surpassing those of battery power supply in most cases, and an impressive output current of 500mA, the DC-Elite ensures a robust and pristine power supply for the DAC. Despite its inclusion of a desktop-level flagship DAC and a comprehensive player architecture, the DC-Elite stands out with remarkable power consumption, offering a balanced 690mW and single-ended 630mW, providing a competitive edge over other flagship models. Additionally, the DC-Elite features 4.4mm balanced and 3.5mm single-ended dual output ports, accommodating both balanced and single-ended headphones. The 3.5mm interface supports SPDIF coaxial output, facilitating the transmission of digital output signals to an external DAC. A long press of the PCM volume reduction button transforms the 3.5mm port into the coaxial output port, marked by a change in indicator colour to white.
PLUG-AND-PLAY CONNECTIVITY AND A DEDICATED APPLICATION TO ACCESS VARIOUS FEATURES
The iBasso DC Elite ensures a hassle-free experience, effortlessly connecting to iPhones, Android smartphones, and tablets operating on Android 5.1 and above, eliminating the need for driver installations or third-party apps. However, potential compatibility issues may arise with certain smartphones or tablets due to system or hardware limitations of Android devices. In such cases, users may need to activate the OTG function in the settings. The DC-Elite integrates with Mac, Win10, and Win11 computers, offering a straightforward plug-and-play experience. For users of WinXP, Win7, and Win8, iBasso provides a downloadable driver on their website, enabling the DC-Elite to function as a USB sound card. To unlock additional features and settings, users can enhance their experience by downloading the dedicated iBasso UAC companion app, which has been updated to align seamlessly with the DC Elite, providing convenient options like four steps of PCM volume reduction, a 20-step L/R balance adjustment, and two digital filter choices.
CAREFULLY BUILT WITH TITANIUM ALLOY SHELL, LED INDICATOR AND BUNDLED WITH ACCESSORIES
The iBasso DC Elite boasts a refined exterior crafted from aerospace-grade titanium alloy, delivering an exquisite shell that, when coupled with tempered glass on its top and bottom panels, exudes an unmatched sense of elegance. Titanium, renowned for its superior strength-to-weight ratio, surpasses both stainless steel and aluminium alloys in terms of being lighter and more robust. The DC Elite is equipped with a multi-colour indicator, with red denoting standby, blue indicating DSD, green representing PCM, and white signalling coaxial output. The comprehensive package includes the dongle, USB-C cable, C to Lightning Cable, USB-C to USB-A converter, leather case, and a user manual, ensuring users have all the essentials for an exceptional audio experience.

Provides wide neutral sound stage. Helps in details retrieval without any colored sound. Well build. Ifi gold bar provides colored sound with higher power output. So it depends on individual choice.
Hey there,
We really appreciate the genuine feedback! Your review will definitely help fellow audiophiles to make an informed decision.
The iBasso DC Elite is an excellent addition to my collection. It is warm and analytical at the same time, and I am surprised how a device can be both so perfect and beautifully. Its soundstage, imaging, and positioning are deep, wide, and accurate. It also synergizes well with all my IEMs.
The Cayin RU7 is a device that just supplements the Elite, when one is in the mood for an analog and musical sound, and one that doesn’t compromise on details. Its on-sale price at 20k is a no-brainer. At 27k too, it’s still a great device, period.
Owning both these devices completes my collection in a very satisfying manner and at times it makes me rethink owing my HiBy R8 DAP.
Thank you for your kind review! Happy listening!
This is definitely special and talented. I have never heard music presented this way before, definitely flagship quality. This definitely makes you appreciate how talented the artist is. I never knew music was so beautiful, and this is just listening through the 3.5mm with Simgot ea500lm. This is definitely an emotional experience. You really feel the emotions of the voice of the artist. It made me feel things that I did not know I had in me. I dont know what else I have inside me, but I will definitely be made aware of it when I get my Sony IERZ1R. I am plesently surprised.
The definition of Grandeur, Perfection, Addiction. Words are not sufficient to describe this masterpiece, this Gem of a gadget.
My advice and recommendation to all connoisseurs of quality audio - Just go on and grab it and get lost in Audio Nirvana.
One more Grand Endeavour from the team of HPZ and it has coincided with CEO Sir's Happy Birthday.
