I use a Dragonfly Cobalt with my car stereo via line in; my Dragonfly Dragintail adapter has a bad wire internally I believe. Is there anything better out there I could use or should I just order a new Dragontail... not really looking to upgrade the dongle DAC at this point. Thanks!

For $30 I'd just replace it. I had the Cobalt but never used the adapter on the car. Just seems the most practical than chancing something else might work. Ideally putting 44.1khz 16bit FLAC files on a USB stick should give best sound quality if your head unit supports it.

Sounds good. So what you suggest re 44.1khz 16 bit files should sound better than CD quality streaming from Qobuz?
