DragonFly Cobalt

USB Digital-to-Analog Converter

DragonFly is a USB digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designed to deliver cleaner, clearer,

more naturally beautiful sound from any computer, smartphone, or tablet DragonFly's

unique design allows for playback of any file type regardless of resolution Natively,

DragonFly is capable of decoding 24-bit/96kHz data (For files with higher sample rates,

your computer or mobile device, in conjunction with its playback software, will resample

the data to a compatible resolution. For more details, see "The Importance of Format.")

DragonFly represents the culmination of several significant achievements

Working closely with Microchip®, a leading provider of microcontrollers and analog

semiconductors, AudioQuest and acclaimed engineer Gordon Rankin developed

sophisticated software that enabled the implementation of a new, high-performance

class of USB microcontroller Thanks to their 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 Meanwhile, significant advances in DAC chips have allowed us to surpass

the performance of even our multi-award-winning DragonFly Red

DragonFly Cobalt uses monoClock® technology and the StreamLength® asynchronous

USB code*

With monoClock® technology, a single ultra-low-jitter clock generated from the ESS

ES9038 DAC chip runs the ESS headphone amplifier as well as all microcontroller

functionalities This single ultra-low-jitter clock enables DragonFly Cobalt to produce

greater resolution and clarity than DACs that employ multiple clocks

StreamLength® asynchronous USB code ensures improved delivery of the audio

samples to the DAC chip It produces low jitter, low resource load, minimal packet

errors, world-class audio playback, and reliable connectivity between our DAC

and any computing device compliant with USB Host Mode (as set forth by the USB

Organization) StreamLength® is compatible with the USB Audio Class (UAC) and

requires no additional drivers, making DragonFly virtually plug-and-play for Apple™,

Windows™, iOS™, and Android™ users

Additionally, DragonFly is software upgradable In today's fast-paced digital world,

longevity in a hi-fi component is increasingly rare—at any price AudioQuest believes

that today's digital devices should evolve as technology itself evolves, thereby delivering

musical pleasure for many years to come With our free Desktop Device Manager
