Featuring a highly efficient 32-bit ESS Sabre DAC chip, a copper-plated RF-draining case, and twice the output power of any previous DragonFly, Copper delivers class-leading performance matched by physical and sonic beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLong Live DragonFly\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x_elementToProof\"\u003eSince its introduction in 2012, the award-winning AudioQuest 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.

In turn, power consumption was reduced by about 25% while significantly improving overall supply-chain efficiency. AudioQuest was able to do more with less. DragonFly designer Gordon Rankin then did what he does best: He optimized the new DragonFly parts for ultimate performance, reducing distortion to a level significantly below that of previous models.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing 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. Its new copper case, informed and inspired by the RF-draining barrels of AudioQuest's Mythical Creatures interconnects, isn’t merely gorgeous, but, like every other aspect of the DAC’s design, has been implemented for improved performance.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AudioQuest","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47995640119483,"sku":"DRAGONFLYCOPPER","price":495.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2788\/2378\/files\/AudioQuest_DragonFly_Copper_Portable_Headphone_Amplifier.jpg?v=1782258154","url":"https:\/\/audioconnection.com.au\/products\/audioquest-dragonfly-copper","provider":"Audio Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
