David can you comment on the Dragonfly portable dac. I was looking for something to maybe take my office pro PC to the next level when using the headphones HD 700s etc.

Currently the system does have a pretty high-end Intel board and the best they ever offered for a built in sound card.

. . . and they keep making them smaller and smaller. Some are so tiny they can almost get lost on a clear table top.

I have tied my 32-64 GB drives to things like plastic tubing so they are easy to spot.

It's ok. Sounds better than not having one. But I suspect there are better usb DACs. I now use my Astell & Kern AK240. It too is not THE BEST but way better than the AudioQuest. Though for size and ease, the Dragonfly is awesome.

Let your ears decide. Some Magnolia stores have a demo for you to try out. Test it out.

I have been using one of those for a while. Quite a bit more affordable!

Awesome solution. I can plug this baby into the font/back of my OPPO BDP 105D and play music, or pop it into my laptop and play tunes through the AudioQuest DragonFly DAC, my cars, etc.

The 1TB provides an awesome and over-kill solution for carrying your music library in your pocket.

If you visit Amazon, just drop this part no. into the search bar: DTHXP30
Great! But I am not printing dough.
