Has anybody compared DFR to Xduoo XD-05 maybe? They are exactly the same price in my country, DFR has better form factor but XD offers a lot of additional features but the sound is most important question

I asked to Audioquest about the next (first) firmware upgarde of DFR/DFB. Here is the answer:
 
"The MQA update will be available to download for free via the Desktop Manager app on our website: http://www.audioquest.com/dragonfly-series/#downloads.  Barring any unforeseen issues, it should be available in the next couple of weeks or so.  If you registered your Dragonfly, you will receive an email when it's available.
 
Best regards,

They have been saying a week or two for months now.

Apple released iOS 10.3 update yesterday. Has anyone tried a USB 2 adapter with the update? I wonder if it solved the problem with pops and clicks.

I followed your suggestion, got myself new t5p2 on ebay for 800€... and they are perfect with DFR! Finally something that I am happy with.

The thing about firmware updates is that it's often better to never have them than it is to have them rushed out and bricking devices in the process.

That's fine, then Audioquest shouldn't be constantly promising the firmware update at a certain time and then breaking the promise. They have done it several times. They should just say it will be ready when it's ready. They have been dangling the carrot then pulling it back and Dragonfly owners are just supposed to say nothing about it?

Congrats on the purchase, I'm glad you like them too! In my opinion, they're even better with Brainwavz HM5 angled pads which very subtly boost the bass and don't break the bank. Check out the Beyer T5P thread for some more info

I can not understand how a such prestigious brand has this kind of behaviour, it must be really difficult if impossible to update, I bet we will see new dragons than an update for this generation.

Some people are reporting issues with USB DACs on iOS 10.3. I just tried my DFB 1.5 with the USB 3.0 CCK on my 7 Plus and everything seems fine so far.

For me, it did not.
 
(I previously posted about the CCK3; I also have a CCK2)

I just purchased the audioengine A5+ speakers from crutchfield. I am looking for a portable USB Dac that will improve the sound of the speakers only. I am not interested at this point in improving the sound quality of headphones. I have narrowed down to audioquest dragonfly black or audioengine D3. I enjoy sound that has a nice bass to it without becoming overwhelmed.

In addition how do they compare to the FiiO dacs.
