AudioQuest DragonFly Cobalt

The DragonFly series from AudioQuest, changed the HeadFi game for good. Proving that an amp so such small proportions can be used in Head Fi for drastic improvement. The initial release of the Red and Black amplifiers were an easy yet high end way to give extra power to headphones. Now AudioQuest are changing the game again with their release of the new Cobalt DAC Amp.

DragonFly Cobalt is the new flagship DAC. It takes what music lovers around the world have come to expect from the multi-award-winning DragonFly family, naturally beautiful, seductive sound, and strips away fuzz and fog that weren't even noticeable until Cobalt removed them.
