DragonFly COBALT, 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. The ESS 9010 DAC chip in Black and the higher-performance 9016 chip in Red employ minimum-phase filtering for naturally detailed sound. While DragonFly COBALT 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. DragonFly Black outputs 1.2 volts - enough power to successfully drive all preamplifier input circuits and a wide range of today’s efficient headphones.
