The MJ3 in no way sounds bad (fed by Yggdrasil A2). But I'm trying to figure out why I just keep going back to the Dongle Cong Elite. Just great synergy w/ HE1000se - fantastic control over the drivers - deeper bass, smoother treble, wider stage, nearly Yggdrasil level detail. So, ok I'm feeding Dongle Cong with the Urd... which also feels ridiculous.
I had never heard of ROHM until the DC Elite. I'd say, for the use case of a sub $500 dongle, iBasso's implementation is excellent. Continue to be impressed with its stage, layering, dynamics, resolution, tonality. So much so that while it has no true line out, I have a 4.4mm to Dual XLR adapter coming to see how this thing sounds through my other amps.
