Here is my review of the Audioquest Dragonfly Cobalt, after spending a week with it. I’m already a happy owner of a Dragonfly Red, using it with my iPhone and iPad along with Westone W60s or ES60s. I was excited to try the Colbalt after all of the positive reviews on the audiophile press...

Thanks!

What kind of case is this?

Thanks for the thorough review! I have the V1 Westone BT cable, which I use on my W20s, while I use my W60s and ES60s wired. Was thinking of getting the V2 cable to run my W60s permanently wireless, like you have. Just to confirm - you did the review using the original versions of the W60s...

The general consensus seems to be that nothing really compares to the Mojo.

Thanks!

Thank you! Just to clarify - the EQ that's built into the Cipher cable works on the iPad Pro with the Anker adapter?

Any idea how this would work with a 2018 IPad Pro with a USB-C connection? Would I get the full functionality of the Cipher cable including DSP when using the Anker adapter?

I bought this and love it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CCZF6E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have a Sansui G-3500 as a backup amp, and it drives my LCD2s like a champ! It's a bit noisy (it's been a while since it was cleaned up), but sounds like it's putting a lot of power into them. I can't find any specs about the headphone output, but it must be considerable.

Stereophile have been running a series called Musicians As Audiophiles, and have featured me in the latest installment. It's mostly about my home hifi setup, but I made sure to get some info on my head-fi rig in there as well, since I actually spend more time listening on the go. Hope you enjoy...

I agree with this assessment. My DX80 sounded good out of the box, but everything became more cohesive after burn in. 

I'm wondering, since more and more people have the X5iii in their hands, how does the new X5iii compare with the iBasso DX80? I know it's not an entirely fair comparison, since the FiiO has more extensive features and functionality. But from a sound and UI perspective, how do they compare? 

The Shure cable will downsample hi-res to 24/48. The Dragonflys will play hi-res natively. Some people believe there's a noticeable difference in sound between 48 and 96 or 192, and some don't. The USB3 CCK solves the audio problems, but it's bulkier and makes the Dragonflys a bit less portable.
