Mobile audiophile rigs used to be a rare sight. Most people are content with the sound of their phone or laptop, so it was unusual to see someone using a portable DAC or amplifier with their mobile device. Then iPhone 7 made nerds of us all: when the headphone jack was deleted, many of us were forced use the Lightning Adapter which, although tiny, is a mobile external DAC/amp just like those we occasionally see rubber-banded to enthusiasts’ phones. For those willing to go a step further than the Lightning Adapter – but not ready for a bigger setup – we think the AudioQuest Dragonfly Black ($99) is a great place to start.
