Could you please also demo Q5s with THX module and give us some feedback comparison of all your stated DACs ? Isn't the chord mojo superior to the cobalt - being cleaner and better overall sound quality ?

That's all good. As long as you are happy it's okay. However, we all want Audioquest to improve the audio quality and reduce the price. It has fallen behind in overall audio fidelity (due to multiple measurements inferiority) back to pre-Dragonfly Red models.

Wrongly quoted. Apologies. Wanted it to be a general comment.

Most journalists in the Audiophile Industry are con artists who write about how intense of a fake orgasm they have when they listen to inferior crappy audio products that they receive money to promote.

It's definitely not worth the asking price, especially when the included dragon tail type C adapter lowers the audio quality compared to direct USB Type-A - technical measurements even show lower audio signal quality compared to Red in multiple areas. Audioquest Cobalt is an absolute failure of...

That's some useful information. I was very curious about the Q5s. I heard about Fiio's questionable build quality in Q5s - are the screws and detachment modules of good build quality ? For one, I know Fiio has quite the serious reputation about their poor customer service - asking many users to...

I hope your unit is wonderful and reliable over the time so that I might buy it one day. I am tired of randomly buying things and have junk pile now that no one will ever buy second hand.

Yes, you are right. Macbook Pro sounds good. To be honest, it's not worth it if you have to listen to the dac for hours and weeks and then have to decide if the sound quality is worth it or not. If you actually loved the sound quality of the DAC, you would have liked it right away. The truth is...

omg, thanks. I corrected the sentence with proper English.

True, got to learn to detect them. People getting free products will no longer get them if they constantly criticize the products they receive during reviews.

It would have been nice if they removed Red and Black and brought out the Cobalt @ 150 USD.

Is the Topping reliable ? I heard they break down and have firmware problems. Can you tell me more about your Topping Unit, it's build quality, software/firmware issues if you are having any.

Do read the whole article and see the measurements, you will find them more interesting. I was wondering something was lacking in my listening sessions with the Cobalt, it turned out to be have lower sound fidelity than the Red. One Fact : The Cobalt sounds better than without the Type-C...

The dongle has about 1 V output. Yes, the Cobalt sounds much better than the dongle, it's natural given it's worth 46 times the price in Canada. It' headphone amp section is lacking and it's measurements show that it's sound fidelity has regressed back two generations (worse than red). I...

Yes, it's true - Determining worth, especially in hi-end audio, is of course always difficult. Mojo is quite expensive, it's the truth. But recently I think they are selling for 432 $ + taxes (new) ? You are right, the worth of something depends on the individuals. Proper information that we...

http://archimago.blogspot.com/2019/08/measurements-dragonflies-audioquest.html Finally, the truth has been revealed about the Cobalt.I returned mine after a week of testing, waiting for the magical change in sound quality after : 200 hours of burn-in. The sound quality improved yet I and my...

Hi, did anyone try out the DF Cobalt in Combination with the Fiio A5 in Car Audio and/or headphones ? I had this idea but I don't have a Fiio A5 to test it out. Would anyone with experience share their findings ?

Awesome, I was waiting to update my A5 Amp.

My Dragonfly Cobalt unit is wiggling/not solid. Anyone else having this issue ?

I find the Shure 1540 much more comfortable and much better sounding than NAD Viso HP 50. What I am trying to do is finding out if Dragonfly Cobalt is worth 40 times the cost of the Apple Type-C to 3.5 mm DAC/AMP.

Hello, I would like to discuss about the DAC/AMP in Apple Type-C and Dragonfly Cobalt (using Shure 1540 and NAD Viso HP50)

Hmm.. I have to agree with you, I read this one too - https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/high-end-pc-audio,3733-19.html Does a proper headphone amp make a difference ? I am sure the Shure 1540 do not sound good enough (the instruments get muted) through my laptop 3.5 mm output but sound much...

Did you try Dragonfly Cobalt DAC or Chord Mojo with it ?

It feels not so sharp, not musical enough. The whole music is not brought together. It lacks the musical feel of my old IEMs. Maybe I like the details and sound signature of iems best.

Hello, I have a almost brand new Shure 1540 but I can't seem to get the best sound out of it, could anyone suggest the proper AMP/DAC for these ? I am thinking of exchanging these for Shure SE 535 Ltd or sell them to buy iems. Could people please suggest the proper DAC/AMP to power these ? How...
