Ok. Absolutely a worthwhile purchase. It's not a subtle difference.

It doesn't color the audio at all, but definitely provides a fuller spectrum and volume boost. Between it and the Sonarworks headphone calibration software I'm so much happier mixing in the field.

I highly recommend this for laptop users!

If all you needed was headphones (output) and no input,, all I do is leave my interface behind and use the on board audio to muck about.. never been an issue for just editing audio.

this, plus i even use the dreaded asio4all ;-)
headphones = sony mdr-7506, comfy and neutral-sounding

EDIT: False alarm. It was a laptop issue. The DAC is working great with Asio4All, and again, the sound is so much better.

~~I'm having lastency issues :-( I wrote the manufacturer about a true ASIO driver. If they can't supply one this may end my Dragonfly days. Even issues with Asio4All.~~

~~WASAPI is working ok for the most part with slight glitching here and there.~~

~~I'll report back~~~

oh no! and i was about to post saying the dragonfly looked really nice, bugger :-/
just a thought, can you force it to use the generic windows usb audio drivers? i do this for my alesis photon and gthen wrap it in asio4all, not too shabby

We're good :-) As I edited above, the latency issue was a false alarm.

Here's another one to consider...

There's also the UCA222.

My goal was as small a unit as possible.

Focusrite iTrack Solo...LOVE IT! It will work with Win or Mac. It's also very compact and durable.
