IBASSO INTRODUCES THE ALL-NEW DC06 WITH DUAL DAC TOPOLOGY FOR PRISTINE AUDIO

iBasso is well known for presenting us with high performing DAPs, IEM and portable DAC & Amp. Following the same path of delivering high-quality products, iBasso presents their all-new portable balanced DAC & Amp - the DC06. For the DC06, iBasso chooses to use a pair of ESS ES9219C digital to analogue conversion chips, one per channel, to achieve a low noise floor for a precise and transparent sound. These chips also provide amplification to deliver plenty of power. In addition, this new chip ensures low power consumption without negatively impacting performance. The ES9219C is a new generation of DAC manufactured by ESS, which has an excellent ratio of power consumption to excellent sound performance. The dual ES9219C architecture, design topology, and high parts quality have culminated in the outstanding performance of the DC06.

POWERFUL AMPLIFICATION CAPABILITY FUSED WITH A PERFECTLY MASTERED ARCHITECTURE

Like any iBasso product, the DC06 showcases its prowess not only in terms of decoding audio but also with its ability to amplify audio signals efficiently. The audio architecture for the DC06 has been carefully engineered to deliver the best performance for a device its size. To complement the dual ESS ES9219C DAC topology, the DC06 utilises a synchronous DC-DC converter, low noise charge pump, and LDO to build an independent power supply for the amplification section. This allows the Amp section to work to its full potential, significantly boosting the output power. The DC06's circuitry demonstrates intelligent design that is capable of dishing out 320 mW @ 32 ohms load, allowing to drive even full-sized headphones and sensitive IEMs.

EQUIPPED WITH NDK FEMTOSECOND OSCILLATOR AND OFFERS 16X MQA HARDWARE DECODING

iBasso DC06 has been carefully designed to deliver exceptional audio performance and to allow it, DC06 is equipped with high-quality components. To push the DC06’s decoding precision, it is embedded with an outboard clock which means DC06 does not rely solely on its USB receiving chip for a master clock. iBasso derives a clean clock signal via PLL, pushing down phase noise and reducing jitter even at this form factor. The DC06 is equipped with an NDK femtosecond oscillator, allowing efficient reduction of phase noise, while providing a more accurate clock signal to the DAC. With these components embedded, the DC06 allows the decoding and playback of MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) file up to MQA 16x. This type of file lets you enjoy an excellent sound quality, as close as possible to the original studio recording, while maintaining a reasonable file size adapted to streaming.

OFFERING PLUG AND PLAY UNIVERSAL COMPATIBILITY WITH ITS USB TYPE-C CONNECTION

The iBasso DC06 can be plug-and-play on Android Smartphones and tablets with Android 5.1 and above without installing drivers or third-party APPs (due to the Android device's system or hardware limitation, there may be a low compatibility issue with some smartphones or tablets.). For some Android devices, it may be necessary to turn on the OTG function in the settings. Whether listening to music, watching movies, or playing games, you will have a sense of immersion and enjoy the excellent sound.

OFFERING 3.5MM SINGLE-ENDED AND 4.4MM BALANCED OUTPUT WITH A LED INDICATOR

The team of engineers at iBasso have incorporated the latest technologies and output capabilities in the all-new DC06. From the connecting cable to the dual output ports, each aspect of the DC06 is well thought out and featured to elevate the listening experience for you. The iBasso DC06 has a detachable cable design. Changing the terminal between USB C and lightning is now possible. It also has both 3.5mm single-ended output and 4.4mm balanced output to serve your needs. The inclusion of dual output ports is well thought out and allows you to pair various IEMs and headphones with the DC06. In addition, an LED indicator displays the format of the file being played: blue for DSD, green for PCM, purple for MQA and red for standby.

DEDICATED IBASSO UAC APP WITH 64 STEP HARDWARE VOLUME CONTROL

Windows 10 and Android 5.0 and above support the UAC2.0 protocol by default, however, for compatibility reasons, Android Smartphone manufacturers still use SRC on audio output. When DC06 is connected, the maximum volume is achieved by default, and the software algorithm of the device is used to reduce the volume. The software algorithm can reduce the volume, but cannot eliminate the noise floor. Therefore, iBasso developed a UAC2.0 volume controller App to achieve 64-step hardware volume control, effectively reducing the noise floor while achieving superior audio performance. It is available for Android devices and offers total control of volume.
