Audioquest Dragonfly DAC and Grado SR80i Headphones from Needle Doctor Sweepstakes

According to Needle Doctor:

Whether you are a budding audiophile or a serious enthusiast in need of a mobile solution, the following package is for you. The Audioquest Dragonfly and Grado SR80s are not only Needle Doctor staff favorites individually, but they work great as a pair.

The versatile Audioquest Dragonfly is first a high quality USB DAC capable of decoding up to 24bit/96kHz digital files of any format. It is also an adept headphone amplifier which will make your new Grado headphones sing with warmth and body. Just plug one end of the Dragonfly into the USB port of your laptop (or desktop) computer, and the SR80s into the other, and you will breathe new life in to your digital music collection or any streaming online content.

Don't forget that you can also integrate the Dragonfly with your home hi-fi system. Simply connect the 3.5mm output with a nice mini-to-RCA cable to an open line-level input, and enjoy the increased clarity in your main system.

yage's picture

I think my wife would enjoy the Dragonfly and I'd keep the Grados for when my son gets just a little bit older... (of course I'd have to listen to them first to, ahem, make sure they're in perfect working order)

I've always wanted some Grados, but have had a need for closed sets.  Maybe I won't need an excuse to buy these after all.
