The DC-Elite brings the goodness of ROHM’s latest flagship BD34301EKV 32-Bit DAC Chipset. Their flagship DX320 Max also adopts this same chip at its core.  It promises exceptional sound signal decoding with outstanding THD+N Distortion control and ultra-clear background with exceptional SNR and DNR performance. The DAC Architecture here is designed as a complete flagship-level audio player, like we have a dedicated LPF circuit, dedicated I/V Conversion circuit, etc. It features an in-house developed FPGA algorithm. It utilizes independent NDK Femtosecond oscillators that provide exceptionally low jitter leading to minimal distortion and promising quality output.

iBasso DC-Elite revamps the traditional 24-position, 4-section stepped attenuator, by compressing the volume to one-tenth of the size of the original attenuator. It ensures we get consistent performance with proper balance between the left and right channels. The attenuator design is also identical to the one that was specially crafted for the flagship DX320 Max. We have a solid build and a premium finish with the device as it has a CNC-machined titanium alloy chassis. Titanium as a material is really solid, we get a robust build and, premium finish, and the durability is also amazing.

The DC-Eltie integrates nicely into the UAC app developed by iBasso. It helps you to play around with different filter settings including multiple DSD filters etc. We have a multi-color LED Indicator light that glows into different colors based on the active playback bitrate. iBasso DC-Elite supports high-resolution audio signals supporting up to 32-bit/768kHz PCM and native DSD512 audio signals. For headphone connections, we have dual output ports on the DC-Elite. The device features a 4.4mm balanced and a 3.5mm single-ended output ports. the 3.5mm port also has coaxial output support. iBasso packs the DC-Elite with a strong amp section providing. up to 280mW of clean output through the 4.4mm output port.
