AudioQuest is a US based company and the EU headquarters is located in the Netherlands. AudioQuest since the 1980's is mostly known for their cables but they became even more popular among “head-fiers” when they released a very popular mini USB DAC/AMP...

I bought this item following all the positive reviews. The item was delivered on time, as usual, from Richer sounds but i was disappointed to see the box was crushed at both ends and the internal plastic tray containing the firefly was back to front...

The DAC comes very well packed with a colourful box with specifications and a list of accessories, out of the box you will get the DAC and a leather carry case, you will need to buy an extra cable to use it with mobile devices, it works out of the box...

- Context: OK. So I initially bought this for use with my phone but, a few weeks on, I'm still waiting for the Dragontail to come from Audioquest so can't comment on how it does there. So that's a little unfair. It's designed to be portable that's not...
