The Original DragonFly Launched in 2012, press and public alike have enthusiastically embraced AudioQuests multi-award-winning DragonFly USB digital-to-analog converter/preamp/headphone amp as the rare audio product that bridges the gap between die-hard audiophiles and mainstream music lovers. DragonFly plugs into a computers USB port to bypass the computers compromised audio circuitry and deliver cleaner, clearer, more naturally beautiful sound to headphones, powered speakers, and complete audio systems. Small, affordable, easy to use, and remarkably effective, DragonFly was named Stereophiles 2012 Computer Audio Component of the Year and 2012 Budget Component of the Year; Tone Audios 2012 Digital Product of the Year; Computer Audiophiles 2012 Computer Audiophile Product of the Year; AudioStreams Greatest Bits; and What Hi-Fi?s 2014 Product of the Year. Perhaps most memorably, DigitalAudioReview.nets John Darko quipped: A DAC with the DragonFlys performance at the DragonFlys price point is as rare as rocking horse sh*t. We couldnt have said it better.
