Interesting - I have a USB OTG cable that allows for the slave device to have its own power - will try this, and see if having the DFR as 'self powered' makes a difference.
Quite possibly, I guess I can find out, having the capacity to look at both sides of this.Does this touch upon the area of line and signal conditioning, like iFi's 2.0 or 3.0 hubs? Would not the jitterbug take care of some of this? I'm no tech person so am probably mistaken.
For my Sony Z3 Tablet (5.1) the Dragonfly worked without without me having to make any changes.
My Nexus 5 (6.0) wouldn't work initially but is working now. I had to go into Developer options (Google "Android enable developer mode" if you haven't already) and change the "Select USB Configuration" option to be "Audio Source".
There was a clever USB hub released a few years back, wish I remember what it was called - Dr Wizard, or something like that, where it was self powered, but was able to still allow items that needed 500mw to work on any device...
If I can find it, or remember it's name, I'll post back.
haha, no it was actually Dr Bott...

Should be quite a few head-fi posts about it

Cyrus have an interesting rival to the Black, the soundKey. Launches on Kickstarter in the next few days.
FYI I just received a Magni 2 Uber in the mail. I bought the Uber primarily for vinyl and my HE-400i cans. However out of curiosity I tried running the DF Red as a DAC from my iPhone into the uber. It sounds amazing and the Uber definately can drive the 400i cans louder. The DF works well at 100% volume as a DAC into the Magni.
It is a very good combo, but I gotta say Vinyl is on a whole other level.
Love it.
