The results have been excellent, given that the new Microchip MX micro-controller consumes 77% less than the one used in the DragonFly 1.2 and allows for full compatibility with Apple and Android phones and tablets.\u003cbr\u003eIn AUDIOQUEST DRAGONFLY BLACK, every aspect has been meticulously taken care of: noise control, power regulation type, and passive component quality. And even if the DAC chips used in the DragonFly Red and Black projects allowed for any resolution, AudioQuest preferred to limit it to 24-bit\/96kHz, making their use simple and fully compatible with any device, without having to download and install specific support programs. Furthermore, compatibility with higher resolutions usually leads to more noise, so for AudioQuest, the best choice was to limit compatibility to 24\/96.\u003cbr\u003eAUDIOQUEST DRAGONFLY BLACK uses the new 32-bit ESS Sabre DAC 9010, which employs minimal filtering to achieve natural detail and a more realistic sound.\u003cbr\u003eThe output of AUDIOQUEST DRAGONFLY BLACK can reach 1.2 volts, which is sufficient to effectively drive most preamplifier input circuits and all reasonably efficient headphones.\u003cbr\u003eThe new DragonFlys can be updated via a free application compatible with Windows and OS X. When new music players, next-generation audio streaming protocols, or other associated software become available, DragonFly customers will be able to implement the updates themselves without difficulty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePlays all music files: from MP3 to MQA and high-resolution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Apple® and Windows® PCs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with iOS devices (requires Apple Camera Adapter\/Connection Kit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Android devices (requires DragonTail or other USB adapter for Android devices)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMQA rendering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDirectly drives headphones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFixed output feeds preamplifier or AV receiver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAsynchronous transfer ensures digital timing integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSupported state\/sample frequency (LED indicator color code): Standby (red), 44.1 kHz (green), 48 kHz (blue), 88.2 kHz (amber), 96 kHz (magenta), MQA (purple)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eVolume control: Analog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOutput voltage: 1.2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHeadphone amplifier: Texas Instruments TPA6130\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDAC chip: ESS 9010 32-bit with minimum phase fast roll-off filter (black)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMicrochip: PIC32MX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Audioquest","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53993400238413,"sku":"092592048188","price":119.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/0643\/6173\/files\/158139-large_default.jpg?v=1779918099","url":"https:\/\/musicdelivery.net\/en\/products\/audioquest-dragonfly-black","provider":"Music Delivery 5.0","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
