Lower Power, Greater Output
AudioQuest's careful selection of a new 32-bit ESS Saber 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.
Optimized for Lower Distortion
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.
Performance-Driven Copper Design
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, but, like every other aspect of the DAC's gorgeous design, has been implemented for improved performance.
