That’s a couple of DA conversions in a row. Try it, trust your ears. If you do not the Dragonfly send it back.

Why would you do this? Its analog output would have to be re-digitised at 16/44.1.
Use AirPlay to send iPhone audio to the Era. The audio should go at ALAC 16/44.1 all the way, unless you’re using the native Apple Music app, which for some reason insists on AirPlaying to Sonos at AAC256.
Bluetooth is obviously an option, but also at some sound quality penalty.
Thanks all, I’ll stream from the iPhone and enjoy my turntable link to the speaker
