AudioQuest DragonFly Black

Pocket USB DAC with 1.2 V headphone output

DragonFly Black is a digital-to-analogue converter the size of a USB stick, with resolution up to 24-bit/96 kHz. It works with Apple and Windows computers and, through an Apple Camera Adapter or an OTG adapter, with iOS and Android phones and tablets; it handles any music file, from MP3 tracks to high resolution.

Main features

• Conversion: ESS 9010 chip, 32-bit, using a minimum-phase filter.
• USB: Class 1 asynchronous transfer with the Streamlength protocol, for accurate data timing.
• Output: 1.2 V, enough to power most headphones directly; at fixed level it supplies a preamplifier or an AV receiver.
• Volume: analogue control.
