Audioquest Dragonfly Cobalt

Coming off the back of the incredibly successful Dragonfly Red, the Dragonfly cobalt raises the standard again.

DragonFly Cobalt is a compact & portable, plug-and-play USB digital-to-analogue converter (DAC), preamp, and headphone amp that delivers far clearer and more natural sound to headphones, active speakers, or any other complete audio system.  Its ultra-compact design measuring only 2.26” x 0.73” x 0.47” and shape matches that of a USB thumb drive, DragonFly easily connects to tablets, smartphones & laptops, either directly or with an appropriate USB cable, such as AudioQuest's high-performance USB-C DragonTail which is included.

Plays all file formats/soundtracks: MP3, MQA, high-res, etc. 2.1-volt output easily drives most headphones.
