Yes, they work fine as a preamp DAC. Just put the Dragonfly volume to 100% along with music application volume most of the way up and use the Magni 3 to control actual headphone volume level. Just make sure to not plug the dragonfly directly into the computer USB port - use a short USB extension cable like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002KNI796/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's how I use my DFR most of the time for my work setup...

Also works well for getting better audio out of your vehicle using the vehicle's auxilary input and a 3.5mm connection cable to connect to Phone/Tablet and Dragonfly combo. Will say the DFR sounds better than the DFB for this type of use though - cleaner, more detailed, vibrant sound which has more punch and subbass compared to the Black. The Black is warmer, looser, and softer in it's delivery.

haroldzapatahFor PC you might be able to get away with plugging it straight in to the USB, just support/strain relief the cable to the Dragonfly. Safety precaution to keep from damaging USB port/Dragonfly. Would never use Dragonfly on a laptop without an extension cable.
