    AudioQuest Dragonfly BLACK USB DAC DragonFly Black is a USB digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) designed to deliver cleaner clearer more naturally beautiful sound from any computer smartphone or tablet. DragonFly Black's unique design allows for playback of any file type regardless of resolution. Natively DragonFly Black is capable of decoding 24-bit/96kHz data. DragonFly Black represents the culmination of several new and exciting achievements Over the better part of three years AudioQuest and acclaimed engineer Gordon Rankin have been tirelessly developing sophisticated software solutions that have allowed us to implement a new high-performance class of USB microcontrollers. We have chosen to work with Microchip a leading provider of microcontroller and analogue semiconductors. With exceedingly low power consumption and extremely low-noise power supplies the Microchip microcontrollers achieve unprecedented levels of efficiency and signal-to-noise ratio regardless of bit- or sample rate. While DragonFly versions 1.0 and 1.2 achieved new standards of performance and portability in the high-fidelity audio world many of our customers have longed for a similar product that could be reliably used with their handheld mobile devices. Previously DragonFly's power consumption limited its compatibility to Mac and Windows laptops and PCs. Now with our developments in the field of microcontrollers we are able to improve DragonFly's performance while also offering compatibility with handheld Apple Mobile and Android devices. Improved performance and greater versatility! DragonFly Black employs a unique clock system called a Hybrid-PLL. While not discrete the Hybrid-PLL performs equal to or better than many discrete clock systems at a fraction of their cost. This has allowed us to devote resources to more sophisticated components elsewhere."

Fiio X7 AMP Module The AM2 is a replaceable/upgraded amplifier unit that you can use to change the sound quality of your FiiO X7 and is suitable for use with both earbuds and portable headphones. The output power of AM2 is similar to that of most high-resolution music players on the market (such as FiiO X3 and X5). Compared to the FiiO AM1 the AM2 module has a higher operating voltage. Utilizing the MUSES02 by MUSES - the audiophile semiconductor division of New Japan Radio Co. Ltd - for voltage amplification in combination with the BUF634 buffer - capable of ultra-high current drive (250mA) achieving ultra-low noise and distortion high resolution and fine sonic detail retrieval. Separate positive and negative pole power supplies are provided with two-level voltage regulation function corresponding to high and low gain modes effectively reducing power consumption and increasing playtime. Replacing the modules is extremely easy; simply using the Screwdriver that came with your X7 is merely a matter of undoing 2 screws to remove the AM1 and replace it with the AM2. *Although protection circuits are installed on the X7 it is still recommended to perform the module exchange when the X7 is turned off.* The FiiO AM2 unit comes in a metal protective box which will protect whichever amp you choose to store in there.
Audioquest DRAGONFLYRED Audioquest DRAGONFLYRED from £165.83. The DragonFly Red uses the highest quality DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor) ever used in a DragonFly giving true audiophile sound quality. The 32-bit ESS 9016 chip is more usually found in high-end hi-fi equipment and boasts an astonishing signal to noise ratio making it sound more precise and detailed than the DragonFly Black. Rather than using the Black's analogue volume control it also deploys bit-perfect digital volume. This reduces distortion still further delivering an 'inky' black silence when the music demands. Lower power consumption With lower power consumption than previous DragonFlys the DragonFly Red is suitable for use with smartphones and tablets without undue battery use. Simply fit a USB adaptor to suit your device and connect up to an Apple or Android smartphone or tablet for a massive improvement in sound quality. Powers Demanding headphones With a boost in output from 1.2V to 2.1V the Red is far better at driving difficult headphones than the Black version. If you use larger headphones with more powerful magnets such as the Grado range or AudioQuest's own Nighthawks then the Red model is ideal. The higher output gives effortless dynamics a powerful bass and ability to make the music 'come to life'. Small package big sound Although tiny the DragonFly is every bit as impressive as many full-size DACs. Asynchronous transfer and twin clocks ensure perfectly timed and controlled digital information enters the DAC for a highly accurate and precise sound quality. Compared to a computer/smartphone/tablet's headphone output you'll notice a more dynamic sound with more detail and openness. In essence the sound will simply be more life-like.
