New Dragonfly Black and Red Discussion
Jun 15, 2017 at 5:52 AM Post #3,511 of 5,077
It seems I can't update DF Black via software. No matter what, software doesn't recognize when I plug-in DF Black (it keeps saying SN:N/A)... Windows 7 64 bit version. Any idea how to resolve this?

DAC is working normally for playback (it is recognized by Windows).

Cheers,
Miki

This is assuming the software isn't messing up or your USB port isn't completely working.

You can only update DFB 1.5 which debuted along with DFR. The old DFB 1.0 and DFB 1.2 cannot be updated. To tell if you have a DFB 1.5, on the back of it it would say it's Dragonfly Black 1.5 in gold lettering.

Does anyone have experience using the DF Black on a Windows laptop with IEMs? I'm wondering if there will be hissing with sensitive IEMs.

Absolutely no hiss or noise heard via a Windows 10 PC with either the Shure SE535LTD-J or JVC HA-FX750 iem plugged into the DragonFly Black (with or without the JitterBug)

Ok, so I updated DFB everything went smooth, but I'm experiencing a minor annoyance now:
when I play music via laptop and then plug-in DFB, it takes good 5-6 secs before music is played via DFB. It wasn't like that before, and I also tried with DF v1.0, in a matter of second music is played via DF1.

Cheers,

Sorry if this has been asked already but I can't read this whole thread: Does the power provided by an iPhone allow the Dragonfly sound quality to be similar to when plugged into a computer? Several years ago I had a HRT Microstreamer and it always seemed to me that the sound was noticeably more dynamic when used with a PC than with an iPhone. I've assumed this had to do with the power source. Thanks!

I personally have not noticed any difference in sound quality between my PC and smartphones.

Great, thanks! I am thinking about ordering one. Where is everyone buying it from online to make sure it is authentic? I noticed crutchfield and BHphoto has them. Not sure about buying from random sellers on Amazon.

I got mine on Amazon from Hidef Lifestyle. They're an authorized vendor according to the AQ site. If you want to order from Amazon, just check the dealer against AQ's official reseller list.
