#RASPBERRY PI BITPERFECT USB FREE#
Firmware UpgradeableĭragonFlys Black, Red, and Cobalt are firmware upgradeable via our free Desktop Device Manager. The 2.1-volt output makes Cobalt and Red compatible with a wide range of headphones, including power-hungry, low-efficiency models. This solution ensures maximum fidelity, thrilling dynamic contrast, and excellent signal-to-noise ratio. Bit-Perfect Volume Control and 2.1-Volt OutputĬobalt features the same ESS Sabre 9601 headphone amp and bit-perfect volume control that give DragonFly Red its unique combination of power and grip over the music. Successfully combating this noise is absolutely crucial to the preservation of the lowest-level musical details, particularly when it comes to high-res audio-and especially when applied to a portable-audio device such as DragonFly. In Cobalt, we've taken what we've learned from our recent research and development in noise dissipation to employ power-supply filtering specifically designed to dramatically reduce the increasingly prevalent noise from WiFi, Bluetooth, and cellular signals. While the chips used in DragonFlys Black and Red are unbeatable for the price, the minimum-phase slow roll-off filter in the 9038 results in naturally expressive sound that is always emotionally engaging and never fatiguing-a beautiful combination of warmth and detail that we find equally exciting and soothing. Why the "Slow Roll.?"Ĭobalt employs ESS's new flagship ES9038Q2M DAC chip. Streamlength and monoClock are registered trademarks of Wavelength Audio, ltd. This superior clock enables DragonFly Cobalt to provide greater resolution and clarity than DACs with multiple clocks. Further, in Gordon's monoClock ® technology, a single ultra-low-jitter clock generated from the ESS ES9038Q2M DAC chip runs the ESS chip functions as well as all microcontroller functions. Like all previous DragonFly models, Cobalt uses Gordon Rankin's precedent-setting StreamLength ® asynchronous-transfer USB code. With its higher 2.1-volt output, DragonFly Red is compatible with a wider range of headphones, including power-hungry, low-efficiency models.ĪudioQuest, Gordon Rankin: A Beautiful Partnership DragonFly Black outputs 1.2 volts-enough power to successfully drive all preamplifier input circuits and a wide range of today’s efficient headphones. While DragonFly Black uses a high-quality headphone amp and analog volume control, DragonFly Red includes a more advanced ESS headphone amp and a bit-perfect digital volume control that resides on the 9016 DAC chip itself-a sophisticated implementation that gives Red a unique combination of power and grip over the music. The ESS 9010 DAC chip in Black and the higher-performance 9016 chip in Red employ minimum-phase filtering for naturally detailed sound.
DragonFly Black, the most affordable model of the award-winning DragonFly family, has been praised by Darko.Audio as “the quintessential everyman hi-fi product,” while its more sophisticated sibling, DragonFly Red, combines significantly improved performance with still exceptional value.
