Slenderbodies’ “Anemone”, a track I’ve heard hundreds of times, sounds more forward and lively with the DragonFly Red especially in regard to the hazy, almost incoherent vocals. With the DA2, it feels a bit foggy and lacks some impact. Tei Shei and Blood Orange’s “Even If It Hurts” is a great example of the bass sounding a tad better on the DragonFly Red. Keep in mind the difference is fairly marginal but can be heard on certain tracks. The Red is definitely more open sounding with more air. It also feels more closed in on Jazz tracks like this version of John Coltrane’s Afro Blue. It sounds great, but the soundscape isn’t quite as tight and snappy. The DA2 by contrast feels a bit more relaxed, laid back, but kind of lacking a bit of energy. Overall, it’s more of a grand, open affair, and portrays the music in a more crisp, vibrant light something I’ve talked about quite a bit with the DragonFly Red and why I tend to recommend it so often over the 60+ Amps & DACS I’ve heard at the time of this writing. The DragonFly Red provides more slam, weight, and impact particularly to bass notes. In going back and forth between these 2 for a couple of hours, I found the differences to be subtle but definitely noticeable.
