I have been running an Audioquest Dragonfly off a 2012 Macbook Pro to a Nad d 3020 amp and getting some stunning sound however I am encountering some issues since upgrading to the new Macbook Pro 2016. The sound difference is pretty big between the two on account of the new machine sounds a lot worse. Clarity and definition has reduced significantly and everything sounds a little more muffled. The only differing factor is I use a USB C to USB adapter between the Mac and the Dragonfly (the actual set up goes Mac, Jitterbug, Dragonfly, Amp).
I appreciate this may be a little specialist but would anyone be able to advise in the drop in sound quality and clarity? Could this all be down to a USB C adapter sitting between the Jitterbug and the Mac?
