AudioQuest DragonFly Black USB DAC

AudioQuest DragonFly Black USB DAC

Beautiful Sound from any mobile device or computer

With an increasingly large variety of websites and applications from which to choose, we have far greater access to music and movies than ever before. Mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and computers can all serve as gateways to this ever-expanding universe of audio and video content. Unfortunately, these wonderful devices are not specifically designed to perform as high- fidelity audio source components because they lack the quality of parts and sophisticated circuitry that would allow them to preserve valuable musical data.

Whether connected to an Apple® or Windows® PC, or an iOS® or Android® device, DragonFly bypasses the device’s compromised audio circuitry to deliver beautiful sound to earbuds, headphones, desktop speakers, or complete audio systems, allowing the smart device to perform as a true high-fidelity audio source. Now far more versatile and portable than ever before, DragonFly Black lets you hear all the emotional expression and nuance that makes your favorite music and movies so enjoyable.
