Why it Sounds Amazing
⚙️ DAC Chip
I like to say the DAC chip is the heart of any audio device — it’s the part that actually transforms digital files into music you can hear 🎧. Think of it like a chef decoding a recipe to create a delicious meal. The better the DAC chip, the more faithfully it translates your music. And in my experience, a great DAC can completely change how your headphones sound.
Now, here’s what’s actually happening: a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) takes digital signals (your MP3s, FLACs, or streams) and converts them into an analog waveform your ears can enjoy. Different DAC chips — like those from ESS, AKM, or Cirrus Logic — offer their own sound signatures, levels of clarity, and noise performance. A good DAC ensures accurate timing, minimal distortion, and exceptional resolution.
When you see '⚙️ DAC Chip' products, expect: clean, detailed audio and better synergy with high-quality headphones — perfect for anyone upgrading from average sound to audiophile quality.
🚀 Power Output
I like to think of power output in audio gear like engine horsepower, it determines how much muscle your setup really has 💪. Whether you’re trying to drive a pair of power-hungry planar headphones or just want headroom for dynamic peaks, power output is the spec you want to check first.
Technically, it refers to the amount of electrical power (measured in mW or Watts) an amp or DAC/Amp combo can deliver to your headphones. More power means better control, improved dynamics, and the ability to handle demanding gear without distortion. But more isn’t always better, too much power with sensitive IEMs can introduce hiss or harshness.
When you see '🚀 Power Output' products, expect: strong driving capability, better dynamics, and optimal performance with headphones that need serious juice to shine.
⚖️ Balanced Output
I often say balanced output is like using both hands to carry something heavy — it distributes power evenly and keeps things stable. In audio gear, balanced output helps reduce unwanted noise and interference, especially over longer cables. Think of it as a cleaner, more efficient way to transmit your music, ideal for anyone using high-end DACs, amps, or studio-grade headphones 🎧. You’ll typically find it on gear with XLR or 4.4mm connectors, and it's a must-have if you’re chasing that ultra-clean signal path.
Here’s what’s actually happening: a balanced output uses two separate signals, one inverted, so when interference is picked up along the cable, it gets cancelled out when the signals are recombined. The result? Cleaner audio, better dynamic range, and more power output — especially when paired with balanced headphones. The trade-off? You’ll need gear that supports balanced connections on both ends to really enjoy the benefits.
When you see '⚖️ Balanced Output' products, expect: ultra-low noise, more headroom, and better synergy with high-impedance headphones or sensitive IEMs — ideal for serious listening setups.

DESCRIPTION
IBASSO INTRODUCES DC04 PRO, A WORTHY UPGRADE TO THE WIDELY POPULAR DC04
iBasso is a well-reputed brand in the industry. They are mainly known for their wide range of portable audio gears, including IEMs, USB DAC/AMPs, DAPs, etc. The DC04 was a "great" portable Balanced USB DAC & Amp that took the industry by storm, but the only caveat was that it only had a Balanced 4.4mm output. iBasso, with their all-new DC04PRO, has addressed that and has included a 3.5mm Single-Ended in addition to the 4.4mm Balanced output. The DC04, however, garnered high-level praise from the audiophile community. iBasso wanted to continue the spree and develop something "powerful," "durable," and "versatile," which gave birth to DC04PRO. The iBasso DC04PRO is a worthy upgrade and packs a punch with its extraordinary performing capabilities. With premium dual CS43131 DAC chips from Cirrus Logics, the DC04PRO brings flagship-level performance to your smartphones. For "clear" and "accurate" audio signal decoding, a high-performance KDS femtosecond crystal oscillator is incorporated into its design. The iBasso DC04PRO offers a high-quality experience by supporting high-resolution PCM and DSD signals. Perceive music differently with the brand-new iBasso DC04PRO!



DUAL CIRRUS LOGIC DAC CHIP AND HIGH-QUALITY COMPONENTS DELIVER EXCEPTIONAL SONIC PERFORMANCE
The Cirrus Logic CS43131 dual DAC chips, which are of the highest calibre and provide unmatched digital-to-analogue conversion, are found in the DC04PRO. With Master HiFi™ technology, the DAC from Cirrus Logic offers "amazing" performance and fantastic sound. With iBasso's extensive investment in research and development and well-selected parts, the DC04PRO is a "wonderful" and affordable standout USB DAC & Amp. iBasso DC04PRO promises ultimate high-resolution audio performance with its dual DAC arrangement supporting PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) up to 32bit/384kHz and Native DSD (Direct Stream Digital) up to 256x. iBasso has dual CS43131 DAC chips allowing the DC04PRO to achieve class-leading performance with ultra-low distortion and high SNR ratings. The CS43131 is a premium 32-Bit DAC supporting 32-Bit Hi-Res signal decoding. The DC04PRO hosts a KDS femtosecond oscillator, which reduces phase noise and provides a more accurate clock reference for the DAC. The DC04PRO brings pure and transparent music replay. The ultra-low noise LDO having a 100dB Power Supply Rejection Ratio ensures the power purity for the DAC chips. The result is exceptional sound quality with a clean and black background for the DC04PRO.



DUAL OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS FUSED WITH FPGA TECH DELIVER CLEAN AMPLIFICATION
The iBasso DC04PRO utilises dual RT6863 chips, creating a 4-way fully balanced amp featuring ultra-low distortion. With an output current of up to 100mA and working at a 10V voltage swing, the DC04PRO output reaches 280mW@32 Ohms. A team of engineers at iBasso wanted to make the DC04PRO unique in every aspect. For this reason, the DC04PRO houses an in-house developed FPGA algorithm. This FPGA tech has never been used in a dongle DAC before. Together with the KDS femtosecond oscillator, the jitter is well-controlled. This design aspect makes the sound reproduction more distortion-free and enhances the audio quality. With the well-designed analogue circuit, the DC04PRO renders your audio full-bodied with emotional impact. You can say goodbye to the thin and cold digital sound of smartphones!



LOWER POWER CONSUMPTION WITH NANOVOLT LEVEL NOISE FLOOR
The iBasso DC04PRO consumes less power and provides a power-saving mode option. When using normal mode balanced output, the power consumption is 650mW; the single-ended output will turn off the unused half of the AMP, lowering the power consumption to only 550mW. When the power saving mode is on, it turns off and bypasses the AMP section, with output directly from the DAC's internal AMP. In this mode, the power consumption is as low as 410mW. Compared with the power consumption of similar dongles, which can be as high as 700 to 800mW, the power consumption and heat generation of DC04PRO are lower, enhancing long-term listening. The quality of the power supply directly affects the sound quality in no small way. The iBasso DC04PRO utilises a synchronous DC-DC converter and low-noise, high-speed LDO, ensuring sufficient high-purity power for the dongle, bringing a dynamic and powerful sound to your music. It also has an unprecedented power supply for a Dongle DAC & Amp and factors out less power from your source or master device.



WIDE COMPATIBILITY WITH SOURCES AND SUPPORT FOR COMPANION APP
The iBasso DC04PRO adopts a type-C interface with a standard sound card chip compatible with most Android phones and tablets. It is also compatible with Mac/Windows computers through the C-A adapter, realising external decoding. It also has an interchangeable cable design for adaptation and easy plug-and-play functionality. The iBasso DC04PRO supports the latest version of the UAC application with advanced features. It has five optional digital filters, three gain levels, 100-level volume adjustment(using hardware keys), two options for output mode, a power saver (On/Off), and 20 steps L/R balancer. The DC04PRO has a detachable cable design and comes standard with a USB-C to USB-C cable compatible with most Android devices. It also comes with a USB-A adapter for connecting to PCs. The iBasso DC04PRO is also compatible with iOS devices with a USB-C to lightning cable (separately purchased). You will feel completely immersed in whatever you're doing, whether watching a movie, playing a video game, or listening to music—the unlimited entertainment provided by outstanding sound will only enhance your experience!
NOTE: The bottom cable in the picture is the CB18, it is not included in the package. The CB18 and USB-C to lightning cable needs to be purchased separately.



EYE-CATCHING LOOKS WITH CNC ALUMINUM CASE & TEMPERED GLASS PANELS WITH PLAY MODE INDICATOR
The iBasso DC04PRO case is made from a solid piece of CNC-machined aluminium alloy. The hollow design of the volume guard requires complex steps during machining to achieve its good form and function. Using tempered glass panels, the DC04PRO is both aesthetically appealing and conveys the quality of the build. Grey and Blue colours are available to meet individual preferences. iBasso has included a 3.5mm Single-Ended and 4.4mm Pentaconn Balanced headphone output, which enables you to turn your smartphone into a Hi-Res audio player. The lack of many smartphones to work as high-quality music players is transformed by the DC04PRO. The iBasso DC04PRO was born for HiFi enthusiasts who are accustomed to listening to music on smartphones and wish to have no compromise on sound quality. The 3.5mm universal interface has excellent compatibility, convenience, and support. The iBasso DC04PRO also has a multi-colour indicator that indicates various operation modes: Red - Standby, Blue - DSD, and Green - PCM.

IBASSO INTRODUCES DC04 PRO, A WORTHY UPGRADE TO THE WIDELY POPULAR DC04
iBasso is a well-reputed brand in the industry. They are mainly known for their wide range of portable audio gears, including IEMs, USB DAC/AMPs, DAPs, etc. The DC04 was a "great" portable Balanced USB DAC & Amp that took the industry by storm, but the only caveat was that it only had a Balanced 4.4mm output. iBasso, with their all-new DC04PRO, has addressed that and has included a 3.5mm Single-Ended in addition to the 4.4mm Balanced output. The DC04, however, garnered high-level praise from the audiophile community. iBasso wanted to continue the spree and develop something "powerful," "durable," and "versatile," which gave birth to DC04PRO. The iBasso DC04PRO is a worthy upgrade and packs a punch with its extraordinary performing capabilities. With premium dual CS43131 DAC chips from Cirrus Logics, the DC04PRO brings flagship-level performance to your smartphones. For "clear" and "accurate" audio signal decoding, a high-performance KDS femtosecond crystal oscillator is incorporated into its design. The iBasso DC04PRO offers a high-quality experience by supporting high-resolution PCM and DSD signals. Perceive music differently with the brand-new iBasso DC04PRO!



DUAL CIRRUS LOGIC DAC CHIP AND HIGH-QUALITY COMPONENTS DELIVER EXCEPTIONAL SONIC PERFORMANCE
The Cirrus Logic CS43131 dual DAC chips, which are of the highest calibre and provide unmatched digital-to-analogue conversion, are found in the DC04PRO. With Master HiFi™ technology, the DAC from Cirrus Logic offers "amazing" performance and fantastic sound. With iBasso's extensive investment in research and development and well-selected parts, the DC04PRO is a "wonderful" and affordable standout USB DAC & Amp. iBasso DC04PRO promises ultimate high-resolution audio performance with its dual DAC arrangement supporting PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) up to 32bit/384kHz and Native DSD (Direct Stream Digital) up to 256x. iBasso has dual CS43131 DAC chips allowing the DC04PRO to achieve class-leading performance with ultra-low distortion and high SNR ratings. The CS43131 is a premium 32-Bit DAC supporting 32-Bit Hi-Res signal decoding. The DC04PRO hosts a KDS femtosecond oscillator, which reduces phase noise and provides a more accurate clock reference for the DAC. The DC04PRO brings pure and transparent music replay. The ultra-low noise LDO having a 100dB Power Supply Rejection Ratio ensures the power purity for the DAC chips. The result is exceptional sound quality with a clean and black background for the DC04PRO.



DUAL OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS FUSED WITH FPGA TECH DELIVER CLEAN AMPLIFICATION
The iBasso DC04PRO utilises dual RT6863 chips, creating a 4-way fully balanced amp featuring ultra-low distortion. With an output current of up to 100mA and working at a 10V voltage swing, the DC04PRO output reaches 280mW@32 Ohms. A team of engineers at iBasso wanted to make the DC04PRO unique in every aspect. For this reason, the DC04PRO houses an in-house developed FPGA algorithm. This FPGA tech has never been used in a dongle DAC before. Together with the KDS femtosecond oscillator, the jitter is well-controlled. This design aspect makes the sound reproduction more distortion-free and enhances the audio quality. With the well-designed analogue circuit, the DC04PRO renders your audio full-bodied with emotional impact. You can say goodbye to the thin and cold digital sound of smartphones!



LOWER POWER CONSUMPTION WITH NANOVOLT LEVEL NOISE FLOOR
The iBasso DC04PRO consumes less power and provides a power-saving mode option. When using normal mode balanced output, the power consumption is 650mW; the single-ended output will turn off the unused half of the AMP, lowering the power consumption to only 550mW. When the power saving mode is on, it turns off and bypasses the AMP section, with output directly from the DAC's internal AMP. In this mode, the power consumption is as low as 410mW. Compared with the power consumption of similar dongles, which can be as high as 700 to 800mW, the power consumption and heat generation of DC04PRO are lower, enhancing long-term listening. The quality of the power supply directly affects the sound quality in no small way. The iBasso DC04PRO utilises a synchronous DC-DC converter and low-noise, high-speed LDO, ensuring sufficient high-purity power for the dongle, bringing a dynamic and powerful sound to your music. It also has an unprecedented power supply for a Dongle DAC & Amp and factors out less power from your source or master device.



WIDE COMPATIBILITY WITH SOURCES AND SUPPORT FOR COMPANION APP
The iBasso DC04PRO adopts a type-C interface with a standard sound card chip compatible with most Android phones and tablets. It is also compatible with Mac/Windows computers through the C-A adapter, realising external decoding. It also has an interchangeable cable design for adaptation and easy plug-and-play functionality. The iBasso DC04PRO supports the latest version of the UAC application with advanced features. It has five optional digital filters, three gain levels, 100-level volume adjustment(using hardware keys), two options for output mode, a power saver (On/Off), and 20 steps L/R balancer. The DC04PRO has a detachable cable design and comes standard with a USB-C to USB-C cable compatible with most Android devices. It also comes with a USB-A adapter for connecting to PCs. The iBasso DC04PRO is also compatible with iOS devices with a USB-C to lightning cable (separately purchased). You will feel completely immersed in whatever you're doing, whether watching a movie, playing a video game, or listening to music—the unlimited entertainment provided by outstanding sound will only enhance your experience!
NOTE: The bottom cable in the picture is the CB18, it is not included in the package. The CB18 and USB-C to lightning cable needs to be purchased separately.



EYE-CATCHING LOOKS WITH CNC ALUMINUM CASE & TEMPERED GLASS PANELS WITH PLAY MODE INDICATOR
The iBasso DC04PRO case is made from a solid piece of CNC-machined aluminium alloy. The hollow design of the volume guard requires complex steps during machining to achieve its good form and function. Using tempered glass panels, the DC04PRO is both aesthetically appealing and conveys the quality of the build. Grey and Blue colours are available to meet individual preferences. iBasso has included a 3.5mm Single-Ended and 4.4mm Pentaconn Balanced headphone output, which enables you to turn your smartphone into a Hi-Res audio player. The lack of many smartphones to work as high-quality music players is transformed by the DC04PRO. The iBasso DC04PRO was born for HiFi enthusiasts who are accustomed to listening to music on smartphones and wish to have no compromise on sound quality. The 3.5mm universal interface has excellent compatibility, convenience, and support. The iBasso DC04PRO also has a multi-colour indicator that indicates various operation modes: Red - Standby, Blue - DSD, and Green - PCM.
