Dragonfly Red low volume issue

[Blueshound24]

I know that the Red works with Usb-AudioPlayer-Pro and the Neutron player but not with Poweramp or any others I've tried and definitely not with Youtube, Netflix etc.

So if DF Red does not work with Youtube or Netflix, I guess it would not work with Pandora or Spotify either?

I tested my Pixel 2 (fully updated) with a new DragonFly Red and DragonFly Black today. I played audio from Spotify and a few other apps, but didn't try Tidal or USB Audio Player PRO.
Red was way too low and basically unusable. The volume control worked, but at "max" volume from the Android, the output was too low.
Black worked perfectly fine, so I bought it. I'm pretty happy as they sound great with my W30s.

I updated the Black firmware and installed USB Audio Player PRO. No hardware audio controls were available. Bottom line for me: DragonFly Red doesn't work with Pixel 2 but Black does.

I have a Pixel 2 and a DFR, and as you say, the volume issue is present and quite an issue. Very interesting however that you got the DFB to work...I may have to look into it.

I have installed USB Audio Player Pro and it works well with Tidal when on line. Is there any way it can access what I have downloaded from Tidal?

I love how this comes out a week after I sell my DFR. You guys with Pixel 2's, does this fix it for you?

Yes works with Pixel 2 now - volume much improved!

Something must have updated or whatever: I can use my Dragonfly Black on my Samsung S7, but the volume control on the phone will not work on any software. The music comes through but it's at one low level and cannot be adjusted up or down. Any ideas? I haven't used my Dragonfly in a long time, but last time I did, everything worked as normal.

I am running latest 1.07 Dragonfly firmware, S7 software 6930VVRS9CSC1, Android 8.0, latest Android Security Patch from March 1, 2019, Kernel Version 3.18.71.
