iBasso DC03 Pro vs iBasso DC07 Pro

Both are dongles, $69 against $199. This page puts them side by side on the only three things a maker can be held to — power, output impedance and noise — and then asks the question that actually matters: which headphones do they treat differently?

The iBasso DC07 Pro reaches 100 dB on 561 of the 567 models here, the iBasso DC03 Pro on 560.

A figure marked not published is missing from the maker’s own material, which is not the same as being good or bad. Where one of these two publishes a number and the other does not, the comparison on that axis cannot be made at all — and saying so is more useful than guessing.

The headphones that tell them apart

1 headphone reaches 100 dB on the iBasso DC07 Pro but not on the iBasso DC03 Pro — Moondrop PARA 2.

560 of the 567 models here reach 100 dB on both. That is a power count and nothing more; whether either source suits a given headphone also depends on the two lines above.

Both pages in full

Each has a page of its own with every power figure traced to what the maker published and a full headphone list: iBasso DC03 Pro and iBasso DC07 Pro. Or put either against your own headphones in the source comparison tool.
