My current 'bedside' set-up: Galaxy S7 Edge (loaner from Samsung while I wait for them to replace my explode-y Note 7) playing FLAC via USB Audio Player Pro > Audioquest Dragonfly Red > Little Dot 1+ (rolled some Voshkod tubes) > Alessandro MS2s.
Wasn't using my tubes that often in my desktop set-up as it was picking up quite a bit of interference. I've also been playing an album or two before hitting the hay, so this is working out great. Little Dot pairs awesomely with the MS2s, which are a lot smoother/less forward than their Grado counterparts. Great vocals - makes for a very chilled experience, sounds amazing with classical.
Can't really comment on how well the DFR works as a standalone DAC as I haven't A/B'd it with anything (nor do I plan to any time quickly) but music sounds, well, perfect in line+out mode. The OCD-side of me gets immensely satisfied when playing 48khz tracks as the blue colour it changes to (versus green for 44.1) matches the amp's light.
It all glows nicely!
