Apple iOS 17.1.2 and Audioquest Dragonfly Cobalt


Strange as it may seem, my Dragonfly Cobalt is no longer compatible with my iPhone or my iPad since the latest iOS software upgrade. I called both Apple and Audioquest. Audioquest said that at times, Apple upgrades have shown to disconnect certain USB devices and that Apple needs to add a patch to their software, which should only take a day or two. Apple said they don’t know what the problem is but that this current software down load has been available since November the 7th. Anyway, when I plug in my Dragonfly, I get a message saying ‘Apple does not support this device’. However, it works fine on my Mac Mini but of course that’s a different operating system. I don’t own a digital player except for a 5th generation iPod and that’s a sonic compromise compared to the DAC, iPhone and earbuds that I was using just a couple of weeks ago. Anyone familiar with this problem and is there an antidote? Thanks!

@fuzztone Actually I got it to work. I took a trip to the Apple Store, borrowed a USB to lightening camera adapter and it worked. So now I have to shell out $27.00 for a new adapter and I'll be set! I don't disagree with what you said however, thanks for sharing your input and Happy Holidays!
