jimjimbo Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I love my Dragonfly Red. Great sound, great price. And it's not just a headphone amp/dac. http://www.stereophile.com/content/audioquest-dragonfly-red-black-usb-da-headphone-amplifiers#mGGSQsfSXfmbJXl1.97 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattSER Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I have the 1.2. It does a great job with timing and smoothness. Sounds very spacious. It's a teeny bit warm and doesn't prioritize extreme detail the way that I would prefer, but it mates well with my Adcom. I've been wondering if the new DragonFly Red will offer the clinical detail reproduction that I desire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I found the D/F very musical, and that's with classical music no less. The ballyhooed Jitterbug wasn't an improvement, so maybe consider waiting for others' comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get around to getting a Furman higher end power conditioner the jitter bug may not be necessary. Regardless the Dragonfly is an inexpensive component to improve streaming music in my Samsung AMD A8 quad core laptop. I will upgrade to the Dragonfly Red in the next year.

meeker1 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I have the new DF black. Does a great job of driving my Fostex planar magnetic headphones, which are pretty inefficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinsweber Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I have the DF red. I bought the lighting to USB cable and use my phone as a source. It's an incredible dominating... Becomes a DAP or sorts or used as a pre. I've used with my Mac mini with great results too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
