1. Nothing got heated up. Just some of the weak spots based on the communicated feature
set of your device were brought to the table.
This is an open forum btw..
"Heat" obviously is what you guys feel when reading those comments.
Good to see that you feel the heat.
2. The TAS1020B is an outdated device. Period.
The limiations are known since years.
Beside that it requires serious tweaking of the transport to get away
from PC originated distortions. You'll find an estimated 4-5 years
record about it over here at AA.
3. With e.g. state-of -the-art XMOS you could have run up2 96khz
without driver.
If you want 192 you'd need a driver on Windows only. Though you could
still run 96khz without it. You wouldn't loose anything.
On OSX and Linux you don't need a driver to run 192.
The limitation comes with your choice of interface chip.
BTW: A similar sized device -- Hiface II -- is running XMOS nowadays.
4. If you consider battery supplies for iOS devices. Why not on the
Dragonfly?? I'm not aware of any USB device which wouldn't have
shown serious improvements when taken away from bus power.
You'll find numerous posts about that here and elsewhere.
The best option obviously is a battery supply. We've seen that
on many implementations. There are also many devices which allow
bus and external power. Technically this is absolutely no problem.
On your device a micro-jack for an optional external 5V supply
would have been sufficant.
5. iPads usually work if you put a powered USB-HUB in between.
I made several DAC devices working this way. I'd be surprised if
the Dragonfly wouldn't work this way.
Consider these kind of discussions as constructive feedback
towards the community.
In these kind of marketing threads, there's IMO a need to discuss Pro's AND Con's.
For sure there'll be a V2 of Dragonfly. And for sure there'll be some people who'll buy your V1 device...
...even after such a HOT discussion.
Good luck.
