Audio Quest Red DAC

I use a Dragonfly Red with Macbook Air, Ipad Pro and Iphone 14 Pro. When playing Hi-Res Lossless from Apple Music, the Dragonfly indicator is magenta using the Mac although with the same settings, the Ipad and Iphone only shows either blue or green.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 16

Hi Smarshe,


The following steps address what you're describing specifically, and should provide a solution, since it appears that the light indicates streaming quality:


"You can choose audio quality settings for cellular streaming, Wi-Fi streaming, and downloads.

  1. Go to Settings  > Music.
  2. Tap Audio Quality, then tap Lossless Audio to turn it on or off.
  3. Choose the audio quality for streaming and downloading audio.
    • Choose Lossless for a maximum resolution of 24-bit/48 kHz.
    • Choose Hi-Res Lossless for a maximum resolution of 24-bit/192 kHz.

The audio quality of streamed music depends on song availability, network conditions, and the capability of connected headphones or speakers."
