Not really. It's designed to be used instead of a low-end sound card - which to be honest most current PC's don't have.
"The AudioQuest DragonFly is a USB digital-to-analog converter that delivers far superior sound by bypassing the poor quality sound card that is built into most computers. DragonFly is a sleek, flash-drive sized DAC that connects to a USB (type-A) jack on a Mac computer or Windows PC, turning any computer into a true high-fidelity music source. Its 3.5mm port is designed specifically to connect to an external audio system such as headphones, powered desktop speakers, or your audio/video system." Back in the day of those plug in low end SoundBlaster types it would have been a boon - but today with most motherboards having a quality soundcard on board this thing is really designed for the audiophile that wants to listen to his classical cds. -- Richard A Clafton | the brITish guy | W5\G7EIX RIROC - Hosting - Development - Technology http://www.riroc.com | [email protected] "Jack of all trades, master of none, though often better than the master of one." -----Original Message----- From: Flexedge [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rick McClelland, AA5S Sent: Wednesday, March 13, 2013 11:20 AM To: Flex Edge Reflector Subject: [FlexEdge] AudioQuest DragonFly Question At the risk of revealing how painfully un-informed I really am regarding SDRs, could someone comment as to whether one of these devices would have any value for the owner of a Flex? http://www.amazon.com/AudioQuest-DragonFly-Asynchronous-Digital-Audio-Conver ter/dp/B00882U782 Not that this is an important matter, I'm just curious. -- Rick McClelland, AA5S Fort Collins, CO _______________________________________________ Flexedge mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexedge_flex-radio.biz This is the FlexRadio Systems e-mail Reflector called FlexEdge.
