The 3.5m jack in my 3 years old DragonFly Red doesn't contact one channel well anymore. The warranty was 1 year, but still. Paying 200€ for a usb device with just stereo output, should mean absolutely reliable connector for said output.

Doesn't help that a lot of such stuff is sealed and, to all intents and purposes, unrepairable.

Have you tried a spot of switch cleaner on the plug, and some repeated insertion and removal?
