Audioquest Dragonfly Cobalt Usb Digital to Analog Converter, Preamplifier, Headphone Amplifier

Description

• You might think awesome sound quality is hard to achieve on the go. If so, we’d like to present the handy AudioQuest DragonFly Cobalt USB DAC/headphone amp. It’s roughly the size of a thumb drive, & it plugs into your phone or computer to deliver premium, high-precision sound. AudioQuest’s highly successful DragonFly models put the USB DAC category on the map, & the Cobalt looks to be the best one yet. It makes for an easy & very effective upgrade to your portable or desktop listening setup.
• AudioQuest loaded the Cobalt with a brand new high-performance USB microcontroller that increases processing speed by 33% (over the DragonFly Red and Black). Faster processing means less extra noise, and ultimately less distortion. This chip also reduces power consumption. That’s important if you’re listening on the go, because the DragonFly draws its power from your connected mobile device or computer. So you can enjoy the upgraded sound without sucking your phone or laptop’s battery dry.
• The DragonFly Cobalt is designed make everything you listen to sound better. So even the compressed audio you get from MP3s, Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube videos will get a sonic boost. But if you have a high-resolution music collection, or stream lossless music from Qobuz or TIDAL, you can really hear what the Cobalt can do. This DAC will decode high-resolution music files up to 24-bit/96kHz resolution, which is better than CD quality, and it also offers full MQA support.
• The DragonFly Cobalt features a native resolution of up to 24-bit / 96 kHz formats and takes advantage of monoClock technology to produce sounds with resolution and clarity that are greater than DACs with multiple clocks, and the StreamLength asynchronous USB code helps ensure improved audio delivery with low jitter, resource load, and minimal packet errors. A smart LED indicator on the DragonFly shows the sample rate and status of the incoming signal.
• With a DragonTail (USB A – C adaptor) supplied, you can now take advantage of using the DragonFly with your Android smartphone. Simply plug the DragonTail between the phone’s USB and the DragonFly DAC and you’re good to go – audiophile quality sound from your smartphone! If you want the best from your music on the move, you’ll love the AudioQuest DragonTail Cobalt.
