You can now upgrade your AudioQuest DragonFly Black and DragonFly Red to include support for MQA with a firmware update. We've upgraded a few of our Red Dragonfly's over at Part-Time Audiophile today, and encourage you too as well. The process takes less then 5 minutes, and then you can enjoy a little MQA + Tidal Masters using the Tidal desktop application on your computer.
DragonFly – the story so far: the average laptop computer isn't built with audio sensitivities in mind. With ongoing downward pressure applied to computer design budgets, only the most basic of DAC and headphone amplifiers chips are included on the motherboard found inside a Microsoft Surface or Apple MacBook. From an audiophile perspective they are little more than functional. Their sound is often one that's big on layer congeal, lacks air and is shy with dynamics.
