thanks for all your suggestions
After owning a Dragonfly Black for three weeks the only thing I would like to change is their gain, the high gain makes volume adjustments, escpecially on iOS, very tricky with my low impedance headphones. I would really like to buy a Dragonfly Red, but I'm afraid that their even higher output will make finding the perfect listening volume almost impossible for me. If they release a firmware update where we can reduce the gain I will order one immediately. For my headphones I would be happy with 30% of what it's now.
Can you just turn down the "master volume" a bit ? The DFR "Flight manual" shows this on a IOS set-up screen image...
NePlayer on the iTunes site is a download for £10.99. Yes, it's a lot for an app but it streams in highres perfectly from my WD NAS to my iPad and iPod Touch 5G, using the CCK and my DF Red. It works perfectly, and the coloured LED on the DFR shows the correct sampling rate. It's a very intuitive app IMO and is well well the money.

Still sorting this stuff all out, I just ordered a Magni 2 Uber to use my now HE-400i cans with my vinyl setup. (Planar 2 > Ortofon 2M Blue > Cambridge Audio Azur 640p > Magni Uber 2 > HE-400i)
But now that I'll have a Magni, im curious about using the DF Red as a DAC into the Magni on a desktop setup. Anyone doing this? What system sound level (MacBook Pro) do you run the DF at to achieve a line level type input into another amp? Do I have to worry about double amping?
If this setup goes well, I could see myself getting a Vali 2 Tube for Vinyl, DF Red>Magni for desktop and DF Red alone for iPad and iPhone mobile etc.
Using Dragonfly Black with Android N Developer Preview 4 on Nexus 6.
USB Audio Player Pro is not necessary (in fact it's not working for me).
Playing music through VLC Player and Dragonfly Black color shows up as magenta.
Received a phone call and phone audio also came thru USB audio.
Interesting. Anyone else have similar results?

I'm contemplating something similar:
Purchasing the DFR and the Schiit Magni 2.
- Using the DFR (as a DAC) + the Magni 2 as my desktop set-up.
- Using the DFR + iPhone for mobile use.
This would save me $99.00 on not having to purchase the Modi 2.
Can anyone chime-in here on the Modi vs the DFR (as a DAC)?
Any reasons why the above desktop set-up wouldn't be a good option?
