Product Summary
The AudioQuest DragonFly Copper is a portable USB DAC, headphone amplifier and pre-amplifier designed to deliver high-quality audio from computers, smartphones and tablets. It is the most powerful and efficient DragonFly to date, offering twice the output power of previous DragonFly models while drawing approximately 25% less current.
A new 32-bit ESS Sabre DAC/headphone amplifier is combined with AudioQuest's asynchronous StreamLength USB technology and monoClock low-jitter clocking. The result is clean, detailed playback from headphones, powered speakers or a complete hi-fi system.
DragonFly Copper also features a high-conductivity copper-plated case designed to help drain RF noise. Its compact design includes a USB-A connection, with a form-fitting DragonTail USB-C adaptor supplied for straightforward use with modern laptops, tablets and smartphones.
