Review on πŸ‰ Enhanced AudioQuest DragonFly Red USB DAC/Headphone Amplifier for Higher Performance by Kristen Simpson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great upgrade that won't break the bank

I have a Schiit Fulla 2 that I use with my Macbook but I need something smaller that connects to my iPhone and Audioquest's Dragonfly Black has me not disappointed. For people who have a decent amount of money invested in their headphones, this is a welcome improvement in the sound you get from your headphones. You need a Lightning to USB adapter if you want to use it with an iPhone. As with any external DAC, your results may vary depending on the headphones. I tried them on my headphones (OPPO PM3, ATH-50x, Senheisser HD558 and my latest Sony MDR 1A headphones). The audio from the iPhone is better as the Sony MDR 1A are fun headphones because they are more forgiving than the Oppo. and AudioTechnica on bad or lower beat recordings.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Some issues
