<\/p>\niBasso DC-Elite<\/b>\u00a0is a flagship USB DAC\/AMP, which the manufacturer calls a miniature DX320MAX.\u00a0iBasso has developed a DAC on the flagship ROHM BD34301EKV D\/A converter chipset that delivers exceptional THD+N, SNR and DNR performance, promising the highest level of performance in a simple and compact form factor.
\nDC-Elite uses a flagship level player design with custom FPGA, I\/V conversion circuit, LPF module, etc.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The iBasso DC-Elite 24-position 4-section step attenuator<\/b>
\nupgrades the traditional 24-position 4-section step attenuator by compressing its volume to one-tenth the size of the original attenuator.\u00a0This ensures stable performance with the correct balance between left and right channels.\u00a0The attenuator design is also identical to that specifically designed for the DX320 Max player.<\/p>\n
In-house FPGA architecture<\/b>
\niBasso DC-Elite uses a proprietary FPGA algorithm.\u00a0It uses independent NDK femtosecond oscillators which provide exceptionally low jitter resulting in minimal distortion.<\/p>\n
The advanced iBasso DC-Elite power supply<\/b>
\nfeatures an advanced power supply design with a synchronous DC-DC converter and ultra-low noise LDOs from linear technology.\u00a0This architecture is similar to flagship audio players of the past.\u00a0The noise level is as low as 0.8\u00b5V, providing ultra-clean output with no audible noise bottom even when using sensitive IEMs.<\/p>\n

The luxurious titanium design of<\/b>
\nthe iBasso DC-Elite is made from aerospace grade titanium alloy.\u00a0The device has a luxurious finish coupled with tempered glass panels on the top and bottom.\u00a0Titanium alloy makes the device lightweight and durable.<\/p>\n
4.4mm and 3.5mm Outputs<\/b>
\nThe iBasso DC-Elite features two headphone output ports.\u00a0One of them is 4.4 mm balanced, the second is 3.5 mm single-sided.\u00a0The maximum power of the device is up to 280 mW with a 4.4 mm output and up to 162 mW with a 3.5 mm output.\u00a0The DC-Elite also has built-in coaxial output via a 3.5mm port.<\/p>\n
