      Anyone know any good cable makers that can make a custom usb-c y-cable?

        Wanted something like a cb19 or wy1. They sound so different, which has me curious because I usually hear only subtle changes in cables.

        Even charging won’t work because the charger and the device talk to each other to determine how much power to send etc.
        I think it might be possible to make a cable with a switch to change which device is connected. This will just be a quicker way of replugging the cable, though, i.e. music will stop playing and will have to be restarted.

        @EagleWings Well, the plastic thing is mostly the reason I jumped to the elite. It is more analogue, but still has a softness to it. I felt the culprit was high impedance or ESR, to respond dynamically. So ultracapacitors makes everything immediate, fast engaging. Didn't test on the Power X. I'll have a second one next week, so I can send it one over if anyone wants to experiment.

        @Cellist88 looking forward to hearing your impressions with the iPower X, if I understood you correctly. I’m curious about what the sweet spot is for iFi power supplies. I’ve got a zillion iPower2s of various voltages since I tend to just automatically replace the brick on any equipment I care about, but if the X is indeed better I’ll pick one up for testing.

      Final form achieved. Ifi power x added to chain to dc07pro. A bit stupid, but thankfully it does scale.

      JDS Synapse+CB19+DC07PRO+Fathom=Wow. Prob can hit a lower noise floor with an lps, but I'll stop. Beats the DC-elite. Thanks @yotacowboy

        Huh. Didn’t like the DC Elite with the Synapse + CB19, thought it sounded excessively soft. I’ll have to try the DC07Pro in that config.

        "with the aid of knowledge in metallurgy"... all those waffle words does not inspire confidence, and their first technical point is so incredibly wrong (says the guy who spent over a decade of his life doing research in the field of metallurgy)

      Still impressed with the dc07pro with the fathoms. Any improvement moving up the ibasso ladder? I'm a fan, but still waiting on singular

        I didn't have any other iBasso dongles when I did my Fathom review, but I will say that among the myriad of things both portable and non-portable I had at my disposal, the DCElite was a considerable improvement in synergy. I don't want to gush, but the Fathom/DCE combo is the only combo where I *completely* forget I'm using IEMs.

        Also, I usually listen 2 or 3 clicks up on the volume wheel with Fathom and the DCE, depending on the music/mastering. No discernable hiss whatsoever. iPhone->JDS Synapse->CB19+power brick

        I'll also add that among the CFA IEMs I have/had at the time (AndroOG, SolarisOG, Moon Rover, Darkstar), none, and I mean none, synergized with DCE as well as the Fathoms.

        jokes aside - what were they trying to do here? i can't imagine all of those drivers working properly together on every single unit. especially if they want it to last for "a long time". or is this just for them to say "we did it".

        Fathoms are 118 sensitivity and I don’t hear any hiss. I specifically got them for the low noise floor because I can’t stand hiss

        I tried it for a bit running a 4.4mm to dual XLR into EC Af against BF2 (OG) and later against Yggdrasil LIM and felt the DCE was more comparable to the BF2. Both BF2 and DCE have a fairly weighty presentation, but not overblown, so both paired well with Af. I do feel that DCE plus CFA Fathom is just a gobsmackingly good synergy, for whatever reason, so that's how I tend to use it almost exclusively.
