I am not sure if this has been asked before but I couldn't find anything in search. I recently picked up a Magni 2 Uber to slot into my vinyl setup. (I am also pairing it with an AQ Dragonfly Red for digital which is working quite nicely). I am curious if the Magni is going to change/amplify...

Exactly. I am not neccesarily listening louder but the Magni can get much louder with no distortion. I find when I turn the Dragonfly to 80-90% on an iPhone it starts to add distortion. I comfortably listen at 70-80% maybe I am deaf?

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...

Still sorting this stuff all out, I just ordered a Magni 2 Uber to use my now HE-400i cans with my vinyl setup. (Planar 2 > Ortofon 2M Blue > Cambridge Audio Azur 640p > Magni Uber 2 > HE-400i) But now that I'll have a Magni, im curious about using the DF Red as a DAC into the Magni on a...

Curious are you using usb2 or 3 camera kit with iPhone 6s?

I totally can second this. I am relatively inexperienced testing Hi-Fi equipment etc. but I have been around media gear for as long as I can remember. I was happy with the sound but it seemed to have a certain crispness when I auditioned the Red and even when I brought it home I just assumed...

I plan on doing the Grill mod tonight to my new 400i's anything I should know that I haven't read. I popped the grills off yesterday to do some listening.   Any reason I shouldn't do it?

Are you referring to the post below?

    Done, I am always shocked at how much lint comes out of there... but no luck.   Went to best buy replaced the USB cable. No luck. While at best buy I tested the rig on one of their iPhone 6S setups using apple music. No issues at all. Further confirming it is something specific with...

Yes I have the apple Camera Connector (Without Charge Port)   The other 6 I tested was on same carrier. (Family plan) The 5s and 4s were not.     Airplane mode makes no difference and it happens with a few different players.   Ruling out a lot of things at least.   Thanks for the...

Thank-you for confirming. Interesting. So either my dragonfly has issues or my iPhone has issues... 

  I have found some apple threads that seem to replicate the same problem with other DACs and Car Audio setups using USB on a 6s when the screen locks. I have tried now on several iPads and iPhones 5, 5s, 6... none experience this static click and pop issue except for my 6s. So my question is...

    So after some further testing the clicks and pops only seem to occur on my iPhone 6s, no issues on the new iPad Pro 9.7 or the Macbook Pro. I also tested it with my GF's iPhone 4s and there were no click and pops.  The weirdest thing is that the clicks seem to increase dramatically when...

I have player volume max on MacBook and I have to run volume around 80% to sound "loud." That's strange. On iPhone I have to run it "one click" from full to be very loud. And "two clicks" from full to be comfortable. The clicks are all over the place hmm wonder if it's the usb adaptor or the...

Posted this in the other DF thread. I just picked up a RED today and am testing it out both on a Macbook playing WAV and AIFF files from iTunes and iPhone using Apple Music...   First couple negatives:   - I can't turn the volume up full on either device without significant distortion is...
