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

    Because I'm using WASAPI with Foobar2000, it makes no difference if I turn ON or OFF Windows default sounds? It also does not matter how I setup any of the Windows Sounds settings?

    I thought I read the 1.1s have a leather-like bag included in the package. The 1.0s didn't. Can anyone confirm?
