I don’t blame you. 
Congrats on the Japanese masterpiece tubes of all creation. 
Incredible. Glad to hear you are still riding that incredible wave.

This new dongle stuff is nuts, it has little in common with older models and I’m really excited about it.

Any word on comparisons to the Qudelix 5K and L&P W4?I may be in the market, and some one-time standards seem to be getting old.

Unfortunately, I can’t give you the comparisons mentioned, as it’s extremely difficult to get hold of an L&P device in Germany.
Nevertheless, I can give you a brief overview of the two iBassos, which I actually use primarily with over-ear headphones.
First of all, the Nunchako:
You know how I feel about the Fokal OG, which I personally have only been able to enjoy somewhat with the Feliks Euforia,
and as you can see,
I use this combo, so from my personal perspective, you can’t really pay the Nunchako a bigger compliment.
The Nunchako paired with the BO is a truly excellent pairing;
a listening pleasure that I can hardly part with, and thank goodness I can take them everywhere with me 
.
I’ll give you an update on the DC once I’ve used it for a few days.
My first impression of the DC is overwhelming and at the moment it probably sounds a bit like a chill.

I‘d also be interested to hear your comparison of the DC-Elite to the Questyle M15, especially with the Focal Clear and the DCA E3, as this is where my humble collection overlaps with yours 
Something completely different, but very useful, in our community.
The HD camera is very good, and even though I clean my ears regularly, I was shocked at how much earwax this device can detect and then “target” remove.
There’s no question that it can even improve hearing somewhat.
In my opinion, a device like this is highly recommended, and it doesn’t cost a fortune.
Especially since you can use this device not only for ears, but also to take well-lit interior photos of electronic devices and headphones in order to find errors and repair or clean them if necessary.

Only the finest for listening to Robot Rock while zooming down the road on my SV650.
And the bike in question:

Good song playing.

This is interesting in that it would seem to indicate that AKM has found a partner to manufacture some of its dac chips while AKM continues to rebuild after the fire.
