Long Live DragonFly!

Since 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. With more than 300,000 DragonFlys sold worldwide, AudioQuest's little critter has proven capable of disarming even the most rigid audio skeptic.

DragonFly Today

Like all AudioQuest products, the award-winning DragonFly has benefited from gradual refinements made possible by better parts, better materials, and AudioQuest's own insatiable desire for better sound.

DragonFly Copper maintains everything that made its predecessors such a success:

Beautiful sound from all audio files: MP3 to Hi-Res
Compatible with Apple® and Windows® PCs, iOS and Android devices
Drives Headphones; Feeds Preamps, Amps, and Powered Speakers
Phone, tablet, or computer controls the output level
Meets all USB Audio Class (UAC) standards; requires no additional drivers
Dragonfly emblem changes color to indicate playback status and the sampling rate of the file being played: red (standby), green (44.1kHz), blue (48kHz), yellow (88.2kHz), light blue (96kHz).

Compared to previous DragonFlys, Copper offers:

2x greater output power
25% lower current draw
High-conductivity copper-plated case for improved RF-noise drainage

Power, Efficiency, Beauty

AudioQuest's careful selection of a new 32-bit ESS Sabre DAC/headphone amp allowed for the implementation of a slightly smaller processor than the one employed in previous designs. 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.

Drawing 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.

AudioQuest DragonFly Copper faithfully carries forward the esteemed legacy of the DragonFly family, which we hope will introduce many more listeners to the immersive, emotionally compelling musical experience that hundreds of thousands of DragonFly owners have already enjoyed.
