Put my cds to 24/192 now..they sound a bit better!
I'm assuming you're putting it in FLAC? Also, the Dragonfly doesn't play 24/192 no...? Even if you convert it to 24/192 what happens?

It will be downsampled to 24/96 iirc
Btw. i have no single idea what popping and clicking you are talking about, been listening to it hours over hours (youtube too) and didnt notice a single clicking and poping sound, is this maybe only related to the older version or windows-based?
Btw. i think i read that the Dragonfly would'nt work on an USB-3.0 Port somewhere in this Thread, that is not true, atleast not under linux.
Working here
What headphones are you using?
can you compare with the Dragonfly? How does it stack up?
This is my thoughts on the dragonfly.. I think if you are looking for something with audiophile sound then look elsewhere..if you need a headphone amp and have easy to drive headphones and quite like the sound coming from your computer..then it's for you..i think it makes the sound from your computer sound a tiny bit better..doesn't sound cluttered or muddy or harsh..just cleans the sound up a tiny bit!
Ending up getting the arcam r dac wireless version..it works with my iphone with free app and with the free wireless dongle works from my pc over wifi..i have it plugged into my xbox in the bedroom(pc's downstairs) with my sennheiser headset and it goes through my Cambridge audio amp and wharfedale speakers for watching youtube catch up tv..it's much better than the other two dongles(dacmagic xs and dragonfly) by a long margin..not harsh sounding and the sound stage is much bigger with separation of instruments and you can hear things that you couldn't here before..peoples voices when they are talking on youtube are much more natural sounding..it's just a much better sound altogether..glad I got it now..this one definitely won't be going back!
I bought a DragonFly because it's cheap. My next one is Most prob Arcam Rdac or Meridian Explorer. For $99 you can't really go wrong... (well I think)
I wish there was a comparison between rPAC, Meridian Explorer and the Dragonfly
