    Meet Cobalt: The Most Beautiful-Sounding DragonFly Yet! DragonFly Cobalt AudioQuest’s new flagship DAC takes what music lovers around the world have come to expect from the multi-award-winning DragonFly family—naturally beautiful seductive sound—and strips away fuzz and fog that weren't even noticeable until Cobalt removed them. How is this possible? Like the critically acclaimed DragonFly Red Cobalt has the robust 2.1-volt output to drive almost any headphone uses a bit-perfect digital volume control for outstanding signal-to-noise ratio enables seamless compatibility with Apple and Android devices and is an exceptionally competent and affordable MQA Renderer. Cobalt's precedent-setting performance is made possible by multiple significant upgrades: New more advanced ESS ES9038Q2M DAC chip with a minimum-phase slow roll-off filter for more natural sound. Microchip's superb PIC32MX274 microprocessor draws less current and increases processing speed by 33%. Improved power-supply filtering that specifically increases immunity to WiFi Bluetooth and cellular noise. Includes AudioQuest’s new DragonTail USB-A (female) to USB-C (male) adaptor to easily accommodate the increasing number of electronic devices that feature USB-C ports. Contoured enclosure measures just 2.26” x 0.73” x 0.47” (57.5mm x 18.6mm x 11.9mm) making the latest DragonFly 10% smaller than its predecessors. AudioQuest Gordon Rankin: A Beautiful Partnership Like all previous DragonFly models Cobalt uses Gordon Rankin's precedent-setting StreamLength® asynchronous-transfer USB code. Further in Gordon's monoClock® technology a single ultra-low-jitter clock generated from the ESS ES9038Q2M DAC chip runs the ESS chip functions as well as all microcontroller functions. This superior clock enables DragonFly Cobalt to provide greater resolution and clarity than DACs with multiple clocks. Killing the Noise In Cobalt AudioQuest have taken what they've learned from their recent research and development in noise dissipation to employ power-supply filtering specifically designed to dramatically reduce the increasingly prevalent noise from WiFi Bluetooth and cellular signals. Successfully combating this noise is ..."

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.
