    This thing ia fantastic. The audio quality is INSANE I truly am mind blown that there are two more expensive “better” options. If you want good quality audio, get this. Best purchase i have made in a while.

    Enables your iPad (with lightning to USB adapter and compatible software, ie: Evermusic, Onkyo HF Player, maybe others) to play back hi-rez files (iPad native is 48K max), or can plug in to any USB port on your computer or laptop. Even makes regular .wav, flac, mp3's etc sound better. Highly recommended!

    It's seems at first that $200 dollars is outrageous for a USB stick that is a dac headphone amp. Then you plug it into your phone or computer and oh it's why it costs $200. Clean clear and perfect at full volume. Worth every penny in my humble opinion.

    I purchased this dac to use with a set of Sony 1AM2 headphones. I am very pleased with the better audio this provides from my laptop and smart phone. Audioquest makes some really good sounding equipment and this is no exception.

    We were told about the Dragonfly by a sales associate in Best Buy. It totally improves the sound quality for downloaded music. If you love music like we do, this is a must have for headphones or plug in speakers to your cell phone. Great invention. Thank you Aaron!!!

    Every good review about this product is true. I am running 3 sets of high end computer speakers in my home office with a triple splitter connected to my Dell desktop computer. There was always a buzzing sound in my speakers. Once I installed the Dragonfly the sound was crystal clear and noticeably brighter and louder without any distortion. I then signed up for the HiFi Tidal internet music program and Roon internet music equipment program. All 3 work seamlessly together with floor vibrating bass and ear drum vibrating highs if you want it loud. This is also great for crystal clear clean music if you just want to sit back and enjoy the music. If you enjoy listening to anything from Yanni to Drake, this is a definite worthwhile investment. Once you have and listen to the Dragonfly Red, everything else is just ordinary.

    We have no problem dropping thousands on a high end TV, but we ignore audio. This fixes this, it sounds great! An improvement on streaming audio on ear buds and night in day in high resolution audio on audiophile headphones.

    I've had the original v1.2 model for years and the Red is a definite step up in sound quality. Immediately noticeable through my Etymotic ER4 Earphones.. warmer, smoother, overall more musical sound that was well worth the modest price!

    I was curious if this was as good as the reviews I have read. Short answer, yes. If you are serious about audio quality (HD streaming etc.), I would say that it is worth the investment. I will likely get the Jitterbug as well.

    I was skeptical about a device so small being able to deliver with a home system. This little guy opened up the spectrum on first listen. Big difference with digital files not sounding so compressed. Would definitely recommend!

    The DAC is ok it provides a bit of louder sound vs your standard iphone DAC. I do prefer the Red a lot better vs the black.

    I have the red dragon fly dac and it’s definitely a little noticeable in sound quality but not enough to lower my rating of the dac.

    I bought this to use with my iPod Touch and Moto X 4. Using Apple Music and Qobuz on the iPod, or USB Audio Player Pro on the X 4, this unit works and sounds great.

    Super high quality build and outputs amazing sound quality. Use in conjunction with iPhone using camera connector accessory. Works great for MQA output to hi-res headphones.
