I'm not a huge stickler for mobile sound quality as I'm usually listening in loud environments such as coffee shops anyhow. BUT, the output via the 3.5mm jack on a 2021+ Macbook Pro 14" sounds REALLY good. Typically, I listen to streamed music from PC or Mac laptops via an Audioquest Dragonfly...

I'm new here and I thought this would be a good time to ask people about a good dongle DAC and regular DAC. For the dongle DAC, I would prefer it to be simple with not bluetooth, volume/gain controls, etc. I was trying to decide between the MOONRIVER 2 and Dragonfly Cobalt but I found out that...

I may have missed this somewhere apologies if covered elsewhere! I'm using a Dragonfly Red with a new install of Linux Mint. Music plays fine, but I can't EQ anything. I have the PulseAudio Equalizer installed, but I believe it only effects the analogue outs and it isn't EQ'ing anything out...

Hi there 😀 I’m new to the forum, and fairly new to good wired headphones. In need for some advice. I drive my Focal Elears with a Dragonfly Cobalt connected to my iPhone. A good portable solution, but I’m considering getting a desktop headphone amp/Dac for my stereo setup. Been looking at the...

Hello! So I was wondering if I need a more neutral sounding experience with no distortion and clear highs(treble and all that stuff) should I go for fiio Q1 or Dragonfly black? Also no hissing or any distortion I'm vocals(I need perfect vocals) and clear cymbals(I don't want them to sound...

Hey everyone, Recently purchased the 1990 Pro's, i figured id settle on these cans since im a sucker for impeccable representation. However I'm a complete novice when it comes to USB DAC/AMPs and have no idea what i should be getting to drive these cans. I have a FiiO K3, DragonFly RED, and...

I currently have ODAC RevB by JDS Labs I want to use it on my iPhone 6s can I buy aheadphone amp (Fiio E12)? or Audioquest Dragonfly black can be better? my primary concern is sound quality

I recently bought the audioquest dragonfly black DAC which connects via USB 2. The product is compatible with android with a proper adapter and my connection is MicroUSB B. Since I bought this fairly expensive DAC, connected to my fairly expensive Shure SE425 earphones, i don't want a 0.2$...

Darko says the new devices trump many of the popular DAPs out there now in sound quality (not to mention battery life and more).   Some quotes "Compared to the Sony NW-ZX2 and Astell&Kern AK120 II, the blood-Red DragonFly’s allegedly superior DAC, volume control and headphone amplifier prove...
