AudioQuest DragonFly USB DAC

November 9, 2012

Chris Connaker has posted a review of the AudioQuest DragonFly USB DAC ($249) at The Computer Audiophile. His conclusions:

“The AudioQuest DragonFly is certainly the coolest product I’ve used in recent memory. An asynchronous USB DAC running Streamlength code with a built-in headphone amplifier and analog volume control that is smaller than many USB flash drives. Increasing its coolness factor is the multi-colored LED illuminated dragonfly that indicates the incoming sample rate. Not only is that cool for audiophile geeks it’s also cool for the masses trying to show some audio bling with their Beats headphones. In addition to being cool the DragonFly sounds great. The DF flew reproducing the vast majority of music in my collection while only faltering in a few circumstances. Above all the coolness and sound quality is the high value of a great component that retails for $250. I know of no other product that performs this well for so little money. The DF is in the running for Computer Audiophile Product of the Year and is running unopposed for the highest value product ever reviewed on these pages. AudioQuest has successfully targeted both mass and class with the DragonFly asynchronous USB DAC.
