Hi,

on one of my PCs I use a DragonFly Black 1.5 connected to active monitors for listening to music when sitting at the desk.
But I can't stand watching videos with the DragonFly since the audio is lagging behind the video too much for my liking. And constantly having to unplug/re-plug the connection is no fun either.

I'm aware that by definition it'll never be 100% lip sync, but if someone knows a DAC which will get me closer to synchronicity please let me know.

Thanks
Simon

You could get an RME ADI-2 DAC, i use it via usb and i get 0 delay.

Have you updated the Dragonfly Black to the latest firmware?

Have you updated the motherboard to the latest chipset and USB drivers?
Try using the free program Foobar2000, with WASAPI installed, for playing audio files.

Hifimediy sells low costing USB DACs.

And how will using foobar2000 help me with youtube videos being not lipsync?
For helping with youtube video, none.
But my other ideas might help.
