AudioQuest DragonFly Copper is a compact USB DAC and headphone amplifier designed for music lovers who want a serious sound upgrade from a laptop, desktop computer, smartphone or tablet. As the most powerful and efficient DragonFly model described by AudioQuest to date, it keeps the familiar strengths of the series: portable size, simple operation and broad compatibility with Apple, Windows, iOS and Android devices. It is a strong choice for demanding listeners who want better digital playback at home, at work or while travelling.
At the heart of DragonFly Copper is a new 32-bit ESS Sabre DAC/headphone amplifier section, specified by AudioQuest to deliver twice the output power compared with earlier DragonFly models. A new Microchip Technology microprocessor lowers power consumption by 25%, helping the unit run more efficiently with portable devices. The highly conductive copper-plated chassis is engineered to improve RF noise dissipation, supporting the goal of lower noise, reduced distortion and a cleaner presentation across music formats from MP3 to Hi-Res audio.
DragonFly Copper is easy to integrate into a wide range of systems. It can drive headphones directly, feed a preamplifier or amplifier, and connect to active speakers when used as a compact digital-to-analogue source. Volume is controlled by the connected phone, tablet or computer, and USB Audio Class compliance means no extra drivers are normally required. Use the correct adapter for mobile devices and keep the copper finish protected during transport. Choose AudioQuest DragonFly Copper for a practical upgrade with more power, efficiency and musical detail.
