Same issue and being looked into by the Dragonfly's designer. Thanks
Random question:
What would be a good pair of headphones to use with a Dragonfly Red and an iPhone XR with Tidal Hi-Fi? Something that the Red drives sufficiently?
Either closed back or even IEMs. price: < $500
Try looking for something with 32 or less Ohm of impedance and perhaps with a warm signature. ESS DACs are rather clinical, good detail retrieval, which i personally like. Are you looking for IEMs or headphones?
Take look here for a comprehensive IEM list: https://crinacle.com/ranking-list/ .

I haven't had any problems with this cable...Can someone propose me a OTG cable? The dragonfly OTG is too hard and keeps disconnecting from the galaxy S8
I went with Beyer T5p's originally but carrying around headphones is rough on the headphones. I ultimately got tia fortes for travel.Random question:

I don’t think the DF can output unamped, un altered signal so it isn’t a pure DAC in that sense. That said if you can’t hear the difference, maybe sell the Modi and buy something else? Personally I prefer the Modi MB, entirely different sound sigHas anyone tested the DFR as a pure DAC vs other DACs within its price range? (Things like the Modi 3, D30, D50 etc...)
I have both the modi 3 and the DFR but whenever I try and a/b the two devices with my CTH I find it nearly impossible because of where my electronics are set up. Would love to hear if anyone else has tried this and what they found!
It absolutely can be used as a dedicated DAC. It's in the manual that all you do is set the volume to 100 percent and then connect it to the ins on the amp of your choosing. I have the DFR into the Magni 3 at work and I really like this combo. DFR is bright and energetic and combos really well with darker headphones. At home I have the Burson Playmate and while it sounds better than the DFR - the DFR is very close. It can absolutely be used as a dedicated DAC. I think this into a tube amp would sound amazing.Has anyone tested the DFR as a pure DAC vs other DACs within its price range? (Things like the Modi 3, D30, D50 etc...)
