Since its introduction in 2012, the award-winning DragonFly DAC-preamp-headphone amp has received enthusiastic recommendations from the New York Times, Rolling Stone, and Men's Health while earning glowing praise from the world’s leading hi-fi publications.
With more than 300,000 DragonFlys sold worldwide, our little critter has proven capable of disarming even the most rigid audio skeptic.
Like all AudioQuest products, the award-winning DragonFly has benefited from gradual refinements made possible by better parts, better materials, and AudioQuest's own insatiable desire for better sound.
DragonFly Copper maintains everything that made its predecessors such a success:
- Beautiful sound from all audio files: MP3 to Hi-Res
- Compatible with Apple® and Windows® PCs, iOS and Android devices
- Drives Headphones; Feeds Preamps, Amps, and Powered Speakers
- Phone, tablet, or computer controls the output level
- Meets all USB Audio Class (UAC) standards; requires no additional drivers
Compared to previous DragonFlys, Copper offers:
- New 32-bit ESS Sabre DAC/Headphone Amp delivers 2x greater output power
- New Microchip Technology Microprocessor reduces current draw by 25% and significantly improves supply-chain efficiency
- High-Conductivity Copper-Plated Case for improved RF-noise drainage
Reduced power consumption. Greater power output. Lower noise and distortion. No parts shortages.
Drawing 25% less current and delivering two times as much output power as any previous DragonFly, Copper is the most powerful and efficient DAC AudioQuest has ever produced.
And its new copper case, informed and inspired by the RF-draining barrels of AudioQuest's Mythical Creatures interconnects, isn’t merely meant to be gorgeous, but, like every other aspect of the DAC’s design, has been implemented for improved performance — specifically, enhanced RF noise-dissipation.
We believe DragonFly Copper faithfully carries forward the esteemed legacy of the DragonFly family, and we hope it introduces many more listeners to the immersive, emotionally compelling musical experience that hundreds of thousands of DragonFly owners have already enjoyed.
DragonFly Copper (USD $250 | CAD $345 | €249.95 | £229.95) is shipping worldwide this September.
