Got the V1.0 unit, sounds great from my Note 3 phone but volume is pretty lacking and cannot determine how to get it higher. I am at 13-14 out of 15 on my phone and it is just about enough but would need more in noisy environs (with Re-400 and K550). Stock head out output is higher by several notches.
Is there some setting I can do to the DF that increases output to an Android device?
You need an OTG USB cable
Hi again,
Well,I've given the v1.2 a thorough workout over close to 3 weeks now.It gets better and better,absolutely no contest between
this and the v1.0!! I'm hearing details on tracks I've known for years that simply weren't there before.Everything
from the Stones,Beatles,Doobies,etc.,through to free jazz ,World music,it all sounds a lot fuller,and simply more musical! I
really don't know how I could improve the sound without spending a crazy amount of cash.Even then,I'm sure the audio adage
of diminishing returns would very much come into play! Happy New Year,Cenacheros.
Hey guys, just received my Dragonfly from Music Direct for $99. I have some setup questions.
I use Windows 8 and Foobar2000 for mostly FLAC playback. Most of my albums are 44100.0 Hz but I also have a decent amount of 96000.0 Hz albums. Is the recommended setup the following:
- download and install the WASAPI Foobar2000 component
- control panel ---> sound ----> set Audioquest Dragonfly as the default source
- control panel ---> sample rate (WHICH SHOULD I CHOOSE? 96000.0 Hz because I have some albums in this format?)
- Foobar2000 ----> File ---> Preferences ---> Output ----> (I'm not sure what to do here), should I change "Device" to WASAPI (event): Speakers (AudioQuest Dragonfly)?? Also, under "Output format" which setting should I choose? 24-bit??
Also, what is the recommended way to change the volume of playback? I have 3 options, the Windows volume control, Foobar2000 volume control, and my Audioengine A5+ speaker volume knob. Two more stupid questions....there won't be any difference if I use a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm audio cable opposed to a 3.5 mm to RCA cable will there? The A5+s have both 3.5 mm and RCA inputs. Why do the Dragonfly directions say to turn off Windows sound effects? I'd rather leave these ON if it's possible without degrading FLAC playback.
