I'm always wary of claims like this as there's so much snake oil targeted at audiophiles that I can never tell if the product offers a genuine improvement or if it's an expensive placebo. Would you be able to tell the difference between this and e.g. an iPhone DAC in a blind test?

I second this. Personally I can't tell a Dragonfly from a Fulla 2 from a Fiio E10K from anything else. Well, my Fulla 2 is louder in its left channel and crackles when I change the volume. But no discernible difference in 'quality'.

I don't know how good the iphone DAC is compared to the dragonfly, but I could easily tell the difference between my macbook dac and an external $100 DAC.

I believe you are sincere. But I think that if you were able to run a sufficiently rigorous blind test (note: precise level matching is critical) you'd surprise yourself.
