DragonFly DAC – Flight Manual This short manual will take you through the few simple steps required to set up your computer operating system so that sound from music, movies, web videos, etc., will play through DragonFly with the best possible sound quality … while your computer’s chimes and alerts are played through the computer’s onboard sound card and speakers. However, first we must discuss how to adjust volume, because this part of the guide is not computer specific.
• C omputer’s main (operating system) volume control should be set to 25% of maximum. • Adjust to desired volume using the computer’s main volume control. When the music player’s volume is set to maximum and the computer’s main volume control is used, DragonFly’s onboard 64-position analog-domain volume control is able to preserve full resolution and maximum sound quality.
