Hello, I have been falling into the headphone trap, searching for the perfect pair of headphones that will be the absolute best for every type of music I listen to. In the process of finding out that it is not possible, I'm accumulating so many headphones! It seems I like something different...

You have to use the USB3 CCK. Yes the search box could have gotten you there. Or you could go to Audioquest web site and check there, you would find: -When connected to an iOS device using the recommended Camera Connection Kit, my DragonFly Red or Black exhibits clicks and pops in the background...

Looks like you got a faulty unit, I would contact Audioquest.

The version 1 is harder to drive than version 2. I have the V2 and also use iPhone 5S. I have tried it with my dragonfly black, but it’s not really necessary, it’s plenty loud from the phone directly, and has lots of detail.

I bought a Chinese OTG cable off eBay for $10 and I can confirm it works fine with iOS 11 and the dragonfly red/black without buzzing or clicking. It may be the luck of the draw with these. Make sure it specifies iOS 11 if you buy one, a bunch of them are < 10.3 only. Edit: I should mention I...

Hi, new to head-fi here. I bought a pair of these recently and was very disappointed at first listen out of the box: hollow sounding, nasal, harsh detail. But I'm posting to say, don't give up right away: after some hours of use I noticed the sound was MUCH better. I thought maybe I had just...
