iBasso DC03 2nd Gen USB-C to 3.5mm Portable DAC/Amp

 The iBasso DC03 has a powerful output voltage of up to 2Vrms at 300 Ohms of the load and 1.61Vrms at 32 Ohms of the load. It outputs a power of up to 80mW at 32 Ohms of load which is more than enough to power your IEMs with ease.

iBasso has written a custom application code for Android users for precise volume adjustment. Usually, in smartphones, the volume is adjusted with up to 10 or 12 volume levels only that would make your hi-res earphones really loud even at 1 volume level. With the application, your smartphones support UAC 2.0 volume adjustment with 64 volume levels providing the users with precise volume control.

DC03 adopts type-C interface and uses standard UAC2.0 sound card chip, which is not only compatible with most Android phones and tablets in the market, but also can connect to Apple /Windows computers through the C-A adapter, easily realizing external decoding. Plug and play, get up anytime, anywhere.

Operation

DC03 can be plug and play on Android devices running Android above Android5.1 (due to the impact of the device system or hardware, there may be compatibility differences on very few Android devices).But with the DC03 output level up to 2Vms, even volume 1 can be very loud on some Android devices.Therefore, it is recommended that you install Android APK-ibasso UAC for finer volume control.PCM 32Bit/384kHz and Native DSD256 output are supported for some models

Best of its kind?

I bought this and a $30 2.5mm cable to try out balanced audio in order to get more out of my Shure SE846 IEMs. I had been using a stock 3.5mm unbalanced cable before and a few different USB-C DACs. Focusing on the balanced vs unbalanced sound, if that's what you're considering, I am very satisfied with the difference. Using 24/96 FLACs and TIDAL masters, I noticed a bigger soundstage and more isolation overall using this compared to the sound over the stock cable and even a much beefier amp. Quieter background parts leap out with remarkable clarity. It's very small and light, with an overall high-quality feel, but I'm a bit worried about the short cable guards. Software-wise, TIDAL had no problem detecting it and auto-selecting the proper format on my Mac, and ditto USB audio player pro on my android phone. The shipping updates page didn't work, but it arrived in just under 2 weeks.
