    Luxury & Precision (LP) Portable USB DAC/AMP W1 and W2 (The new W2-131 Version is Available, Related Info on Post #1)

    This is an extra. Bought these years ago from Amazon US. I’m sure they still sell them. Search for 3.5 mm or 4.4 mm dust plugs.

    AudioQuest Dragonfly Review : Affordable, Outstanding, Tiny DAC / Amp

    I just received my Dragonfly Red and using it with 64Audio A12. I agree that the red is not dead silent but it is really really close. The 2 problems I have is the low volume I get when using the Red with the A12 and the bloated bass.   Don't get me wrong, the volume is enough for...

    AudioQuest Dragonfly Review : Affordable, Outstanding, Tiny DAC / Amp

    I ordered mine from Amazon as well. I've also checked if HiDEF Lifestyle is an authorized distributor which they are based from Audioquest website before ordering as they are the only one selling it with Amazon prime.

    Please help. A quick question about cheap soundcards with optical out.

    My computer does not have the RCA digital output. My DAC can accept USB, Coax, and Optical (iBasso D10). I will also be needing the optical out to feed a receiver which only accepts an optical or coax.
