Hello, I am waiting for mine to be delivered. I understand that you buy a few adapters to connect to any kind of device. You can use Apples camera connection kit to use the fly on IOS devices. I believe you can buy an USB C tail to play from USB devices. Most of these do not require drivers. I saw on eBay there were high quality 3.5 to RCA silver leads if you want to have the best.
I am struggling to rip my CD’s again in lossless. It is not easy on a Mac and on Windows is not as easy as it was in the 90’s. I don’t see the point of using a dragon fly on compressed files as the DACs in devices will do the job. But if you have a good source then it is beneficial to have a good playback system. Start with a good source then follow it through. To answer the question what is a Dragon Fly if research has not all ready been done. It’s the quicker way <smiles>. Here are a couple of youtube reviews: This review is for the red which is the middle one of the range: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYTcoF6VAzo A more technical review of the top of the range: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E32-o4oonME Regards, > On 14 Nov 2019, at 19:26, Hamit Campos <[email protected]> wrote: > > Ah yes I've heard of the dragonfly.
