iBasso Audio is a well-known name in the audio industry. They have a wide range of products from Hi-res Digital Audio Players to Hi-res USB Type-C DAC/AMPs.
Famous products include iBasso DX220, iBasso DX160 Hi-res players, iBasso IT00, iBasso IT01s, iBasso IT04 IEMs, and many more. For USB Type-C DAC/AMPs, their DC01 is one of the most-selling Type-C DAC/AMP in the market. Well before wasting any more time, let’s check out how good is their latest DC03.
DC03 can be plug-and-play on smartphones and tablets with Android 5.1 and above, without installing drivers or third-party APPs (due to the Android device’s system or hardware limitation, there may be a low compatibility issue with some smartphones or tables.). On some Android devices, it may be necessary to manually turn on the OTG function in the system settings. The DC03 uses a standard UAC 2.0 sound card chipset for plug-and-play on Mac and Win10 computers. For WinXP, Win7, and Win8 systems, please download the driver from our website www.iBasso.com. Once properly installed, it can be used as a USB sound card.
There is no built-in battery so the DC03 gets its power through the USB interface from the master device. The actual power consumption is related to the operation and the device system. The DC03 has two audiophile DAC chips built-in. It is normal for the DC03 to get warm during use.
