So I got an answer from Audioquest. The dragonfly cannot be downgraded to previous versions, so If your dac is working fine do not update.

I don't know if it is an known issue but now my sony smartphone sounds much nicer with kz as10 earphones. It's better with klipsh but still annoying. I emailed audioquest and i'm waiting for reply. Do not update if you don't have to.

Hi. After an update to v1.07 of my Dragonfly Black v1.5 I can hear a lot of hum noise both from laptop and android. The volume is way to high for all my earphones. I even got an aliexpress usb filter but no help. Does anybody know how to revert back to v1.06?

Are your transistors soldered or they sit in sockets? I'm also building one but i'm not that far yet. I recommend swapping transistors from working side. Did you check all test points and compared them to given values?

Hi lads. Sorry for digging out an old thread. I'm building a dynalo at the moment and I want to use it as a headphone amp and a preamp. How can I get a RCA output from it that I can feed my amp with without hurting it. There will be a dac instaled with it in one case and I want to be able to...

They will be sooner or later ;)

Yesterday i added extra capacitors to psu part. Originally there were 2x nichicons  2200 each. I replaced them with 1800uf panasonics fc. To exceed the original level I added 470uf elna cerafines and extra 220uf panaconics. They can be removed easily in case if the sound is not good after...

that would be something but lack of room in the case will propably stop me from replacing them. Now I'm thinking of getting a new, bigger case. For the moment I will replace the two 3.3uf 50v caps with ERO 1813 3.3uf 100v and further plan in getting rid of 3 crappy brown nichicons that are left.

Which caps do you mean?   The biggest difference i noticed after rolling OPA627 and two 470uf caps.

Hi lads. Fitting an alps blue pot is not very hard but it's not straight replacement. I had to bend the pins and solder a wires. It is a very thigh fit but i can close the case no problem. I soldered wires from behind and filed solder joints so they don't interrupt fitment of the pot. I also put...

Here is photo of my first mods on this dac. Opamps swapped for OPA627 and AD8599 for headphone out. LM4562 and LT1364 to be tested soon but as far as i can hear 627s are the best sounding ones. Tube changed to Tung-Sol 2C51. Swapped that ugly blue LED for a dark red one. In nearest future all...

also reccomend to replace stock or GE tube with Tung-Sol 2C51.
