User reviews

Great product, I really like these headphones and the DAC is quite good.
Most of the time, I use it with an iDSD Black Label micro, which is just a bit better in terms of treble rendering and a little smoother in its delivery, but overall the Audioquest DragonFly Red is really excellent in its price range. The Focal headphones are well-isolated (from outside noise), precise, dynamic, with present and well-defined bass, and the midrange is slightly more forward than the rest. The soundstage is good for closed-back headphones, though rather narrow, but that doesn't bother me. Perhaps it could be an issue for those who listen to classical music. I recommend these without hesitation.

Super produit, j'aime beaucoup ce casque et le dac est vraiment pas mal.
La plupart du temps, je l'utilise avec un micro iDSD Black Label, qui est juste un peu meilleur au niveau du rendu des aigus et un peu plus doux dans la restitution mais dans l'ensemble Audioquest DragonFly Red est vraiment excellent dans sa gamme de prix. Le casque focal est bien isolé (bruit extérieur), précis, dynamique, les basses sont là et bien détaillé, le médium est mis un peu plus en avant que le reste. La spatialisation est bonne pour un casque fermé, la scène sonore est plutôt étroite mais cela ne me pause pas de problème, peut être pour ceux qui écoutent du classique cela pourraient les gêner. Je recommande sans soucis.
