    Dragonfly now offers 3 devices . If you’re just looking for the least expensive the Black is the way to go . A quality product . Just wish they gave you advice on what adapter to purchase while buying it . Not after you get product or look it up online. Delivery was on time .

    I admit that I was told on this thing actually working as advertised. Boy, was I wrong! This opens up the soundstage with my headphones to levels previously achieved only with my McIntosh amplifier at home. Truly, the best $100 upgrade for a MacBook or surface pro!

    I bought the Audioquest Dragonfly black DAC for improving my listening quality from my lossless files and streaming. It sounds great with headphones or connected to my integrated amp. Very pleased.

    Really made a difference with the sound quality coming out of my computer to my audio system. The headphone jack was very low and sounded kind of bland out of the notebook computer. Plugged this in and the quality and sound went up. Have the cobalt version of this too and don't really notice a difference so red is fine.

    My setup - iPhone 12 max pro and Bowers & Wilkins wired over the ear headphones ( probably more than 5 yrs old), Hi Res streaming thru Qobuz Audio quality - in short, night and day difference. Great amplification, soundstage and imaging. Even very bad quality recording sounds somewhat decent. After this no going back to Apple mini dongle/DAC.

    I read about this fully and purchased it, very satisfied with it. I ripped all my CDs to Apple lossless. You can hear the music much clearer with my HardonKardon headphones. Sound & Vision Dec 2016 has an in depth review.

    I'm glad my search to amplify my sound through my listening equipent was upgraded through this little device. It works great with my laptop, and makes anything on my already good sounding lq v series phone, sound phenomenal. If you have the means to purchase this product, do it. It is a GREAT investment, especially if you really want to have more depth to your music. Thanks!

    Wanted to improve the digital music experience on my Galaxy S7. Dragonfly black gets the job done, improves the soundstage, bass sounds better. The key is you have to use USB AUDIO PLAYER PRO. I also use it on my desktop at work, now I can HEAR the music.

    The build quality of this is stunning! These were driving my HD 560s with such power and clarity. It feels nice to the touch, and comes with a little leather pouch to keep it safe! Just be aware that this only comes with a 3.5mm jack in and a usb out.

    This is the best value dac/amp that exists for the money. I now have two: one dedicated to my PC (connected to Harmon Kardon Soundsticks Wireless II’s) and one for my headphones (Sennheiser HD’s and Sennheiser HD650’s). If youre planning on using this with an Apple product MAKE SURE you buy the proper adapter. You can only get it from Apple and it’s called the Lightning to USB 3.0 Camera Adapter.

    I thought a dedicated DAC was all just a bunch of hype, but it really is necessary if you have/plan on getting higher end headphones. The audio coming out of this is much more leveled and smooth, and very noticeably clarified highs such as cymbals and tambourines in the music i listen to. It is also very compact and plug n play on my windows 10 pc.

    High end DAC found in audiophile quality gear with an equally clean power amp to dramatically improve the quality of most digital music files. As a professional musician who both knows and demands that music must be accurately reproduced to be best enjoyed, I can recommend Dragonfly to my peers and any and all music lovers who want to hear a recording as intended by the artist. This little device does exactly that. The DAC alone sold me. Could not be happier with this purchase.
