Are there problems using the Dragonfly dac with a home receiver ?

No, you would get a cable that takes the small headphone plug and has a stereo rca out. I got one for my daughter so she can run an integrated amp. I think we bought an Audioquest cable for about $35 that works very well.

Interesting. No, I haven't, and I own both. But they are on different systems. It would probably sound great. I love the DAC itX. Apple TV also.

I transfer the output to the coaxial input of my Teac cd recorder and then to my receiver. Sounds fine to me.

Thanks for your question. Yes, this amazing sounding DAC will do up to 24/192 over USB. It's an amazing unit.

I'm on a Mac so no. However, Peachtree support was great when I had a question. The DAC offers such amazing sound for the price so any short-lived driver hurdles would be worth it.

It works just as good nothing special. I use my headset with no problem. I'd also invest in a different DAC this one simply doesn't have many benefits.

Pretty sure you need to have the switch set to "dock in" and not "aux in" when you're using the E09K with one of their portable DACs. The Aux option is for when you don't a DAC plugging in. That is if memories serve. Hope this helps!

Hi Eddie.I use a Western Digital Live TV and a Set Top Box. Both connect via HDMI, and both sources have their audio duplicated and sent through the analogue headphone/speaker port. I connect PC speakers to that port and it works great.Greg

I tend to agree with Larry. I connect this DAC using its headphone jack to Bose companion 2 speakers - which required ac input - and it sound great.

Howard- thanks for replying- Yes, connecting to the headphone jack is a success.Had to locate & fix a hum in my vintage receiver first and am really happy with the sound now. Love it when mixing old & new technology works.T.

It will work but given the impedance of the headphones (62ohms) the volume will be a problem. The dragonfly does have an amp.

The DAC is fine. What will limit sound quality in this case is not the DAC but rather the upsampling that pandora is guilty of - at least when i sampled music streaming services. I compared spotify, pandora, and mog, and hands down - Mog was the winner in file quality - dont get bogged down with numbers and listen first. I cancelled both pandora and spotify immediately.

Of course not , If u see from the back panel it was wrote down digital out either coax or rca. U need an headphone amp & DAC, check Fiio, Cambridge AudioExcept u use receiver but it's to complicated get Fiio then u can get a better result, get nice heaphone to pair with it, remember Beats & Bose it is suck (not good with DAC and Headphone Amp. Check Senheisser, Grado between 70 to 90 that already nice.

Well...if you're not an über purist audiophile you may get away with it. I have these babies coupled with a paradigm milleniaone sub. I have a n external uDAC 3 connected to my computer and unused its coaxial output on another DAC (FiiO) to connect that to my subwoofer. Not pretty but it works. I love these speakers and even if you use a 3.5mm jack, that connection is converted to digital and then to analog again. In the future I'll upgrade my FiiO DAC to something better but for now I highly recommend it.

The AirEnabler has no direct input to the system.. That's a job for the DAC. As long as the system has a 3.5mm aux input or, has an optical input, the DAC can feed into it.

I added an optical audio return, which allows all digital sound transmission without distortion. My receiver does not have HDMI RAC capability. The only complication is that you need to turn the tv sound totally off, to avoid an echo effect. It may be possible to sync the two sound sources (home theater and tv speakers) but I have not tried, since the tv speakers are crap compared to my system.

Actually, in the setup menu of the BD55K you can scroll down to the audio configuration to set both DD and DTS to ouput PCM-only and downconvert to stereo. You won't have to repeat this process every time, and when at such time you upgrade your receiver you can always change these settings to output bitstream. But in the meantime Yamaha's proprietary DSP Soundfields should keep you quite "surrounded." It was quite effective as I remember :)
