Is one of your laptop ports USB 2.0 and the other USB 3.0? If you're on Windows (rather than Mac), did you try uninstalling and reinstalling the device driver in Device Manager?

 
yup i have both usb 2 and 3. ive tried disabling usb and using windows repair both did not fix it. ill try uninstall/reinstall although i have a feeling its more a hardware problem, but nothing to lose by trying...

My Dragonfly 1.2 has a several second delay when starting or restarting audio.

Finally received my DF today, so far a great fit with Schiit Vali + Senn HD600.
 
Here's my stress relief fix... Got a cheap USB hub to rest things on the table:
 

 
 
Still, Dragonfly was hovering a millimetre or two above the surface, so I stuck a couple of rubber feet underneath it (spare from the Fiio E07K box, they give you six instead of four for some reason)... Do you see them?  Now everything is nice and steady.

^^^ Nice job with the feet on the DF Delirious Lab. Nice looking setup.

Or... you get a DragonTail and forget about pressure on the DF USB connector.

Genius!

Please, can anybody tell me the colors that takes the dragonfly logo depending on the playing sample rate? I have the 1.2 version and the logo is always "pink" whether I play Spotify at 320kbps or FLAC at 96khz.

It's actually Magenta and that means: 96kHz, which likely means you are playing from your Android phone which won't change sample rates, unless you use something an audio player that does this (can't recall the app that does this for Android).
 
Google: AudioQuest Dragonfly Manual ... and download the PDF from their web site with setup directions and descriptions of the colors.

Currently I have the HIFImeDIY U2 asynch USB DAC which I am using only as a dac to my headroom headphone amp.      anyone compared the HIFIme to the Dragonfly ?  I am considering giving the dragon a try.
but I am interested to know if I should expect a noticable improvement over the HIFImeDIY dac.

Hi guys,
How it shoud be configured in order to use correctly within Spotify? Right now, the dragonfly logo is aways magenta and It should be green since Spotify Premium is at 320kbps.

See my previous post. Your sound output is locked at 96kHz and has nothing to do with 320 kbps. If you are on a PC, see Sound Control Panel. If you are on a Mac, see Audio MIDI Setup.
 
Google... read... experiment.

Thank you. Finally I unerstood. But i think this configuration method is quite complicated, I explain some situations, please If I'm wrong, correct me:

1) You want to listen mp3 at 320kbs, like Spotiy -> You must go to Windows Control Panel, and set the DragonFly at 24/44 -> Then you can play the song.
2) You want to listen FLAC at 24/96 -> You must go to Windows Control Panel, and set the DragonFly at 24/96 -> Then you can play the song.

Is this the way to proceed? Can it be set always at 24/96 throught control panel and then play whatever the song you want or does this get worse the sound quality?

Correct. And, yes, it's complicated. What most folks do is download a music player that will automagically switch the sample rate to match the track you are playing. For Windows, I highly recommend J.River Media Center and for the Mac, try BitPerfect or Audirvana+.
