Anyone compared this to the Dragonfly Red and Black? Couldn't seem to find any on this.
Draws more current / power than both the Red and Black. Seems to use the same DAC chip as the Black.
Achieves more technical spec (32/384) than Dragonfly (24/96). Whether you'll be able to hear the difference is up to you.
Physical volume control via buttons on the dongle.
Serves as a SPDIF bridge if you need.
Better value for money, IMHO.

You should ask @cleg. He's reviewed all three of them. I asked him on the other forum and below is what he responded. Not a lot of buzz about the mDSD, but for $100, it's hard to beat.

Thanks for that. Roen pointed out that the mDSD is not suitable for the super sensitive 846s, but so far no such issue pointed out with the Dragonflies. It'll be nice if I can try the mDSD for myself, but so far no local retailer that i can find.
This looks interesting! Too bad I just missed the fundraiser. Can anyone confirm if this little device works with Linux (Ubuntu)?
That's the first I've ever heard of that... does it happen when you touch the case, or also when you touch your iem cable?
Are you sure it's static and not something from the cabling or casing being bumped around? What would happen if you put the mDSD into a little ziploc bag or something? just a random though, as this seems like very strange behaviour and static does not typically jump without a path to flow (so I wouldn'tt expect it to happen inside a pocket... but who knows).
