Why Choose the AudioQuest DragonFly Cobalt USB DAC?

The AudioQuest DragonFly Cobalt USB DAC delivers high-resolution audio up to 24-bit/96kHz for pristine clarity. Its 2.1-volt output drives most headphones, ensuring powerful, dynamic sound.

Rendering supports studio-quality playback from Tidal and other platforms.

The ESS ES9038Q2M chip offers clearer, more natural sound than the DragonFly Red’s ESS 9016. Improved power-supply filtering reduces WiFi and Bluetooth noise for cleaner audio.
