For use with Apple Mobile devices

DragonFly will work with Apple's mobile handheld devices (running on iOS 5 or newer)
In order to connect DragonFly to an iPhone or legacy iPad, an Apple Lightning-to-USB
Camera Adapter is required However, if you would like to connect DragonFly to the
latest iPad Pro, which features a USB-C port, then please use the included DragonTail
USB-C to USB-A adaptor
Note: In our tests, Apple's Lightning-to-USB 3 Camera Adapter (with charging port)
sounds better and is more reliable than Apple's less expensive Lightning-to-USB Adapter,
while also providing the ability to charge during playback For more information, visit

For Use with Android™ Devices
Android devices that run Jelly Bean operating system (4 1 or newer) support USB audio
output, and your DragonFly is pre-loaded with the latest firmware, which includes
being optimized for use with Android devices
Note: If your DragonFly seems to have too little output, then there's more to do:
Despite Android's support of USB audio output, there are still hardware manufacturers
that do not completely adhere to the USB audio class specification If you experience
this, we recommend the USB Audio Player Pro application (UAPP; currently $7 99 US):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.extreamsd.usbaudioplayerpro.
UAPP includes its own USB audio device driver that is compliant with the USB
Organization's USB Audio Host Mode Class specification Further, it is compatible with
various audio formats and will manage music on both the Android's internal memory
and inserted SD cards With the phone connected to the Wi-Fi network, this application
can also find and connect to DLNA servers/libraries USB Audio Player PRO Version 5
now supports audio from Google Music, Tidal (including Tidal Masters), Qobuz, and
Shoutcast, and includes an MQA Core Decoder, which will unfold MQA streams from
44 1/48kHz to 88 2/96 kHz and can be combined with DragonFly for further unfolding
of even higher sample rates
If you are not satisfied with this solution, the DragonFly can be returned to your dealer
who will gladly refund your purchase price
