FIRMWARE UPGRADEABLE While the original DragonFly created a new category of portable DAC, its USB power draw made it compatible with computers only. Black and Red answered the call of music lovers everywhere for DragonFlys that could be used with Apple iOS mobile devices and Android smartphones and tablets. These DACs proved for once and for all that convenience and performance need no longer be mutually exclusive. All current-production DragonFly models incorporate 32-bit ESS Sabre DAC chips. The DAC chips weve selected are remarkably powerful and sophisticated, yet weve intentionally limited DragonFlys processing capabilities to 24-bit/96kHz resolution. This makes using DragonFly as simple as its always been: All models are fully compatible with PCs without having to download and install new drivers. Most importantly, DragonFly is designed to honor the music you already own and love. Whether youre listening to Spotify, YouTube, Tidal, Qobuz, ripped CDs, or state-of-the-art high-resolution files, DragonFly will deliver a more emotionally compelling and enjoyable experience. DragonFly Black supports Tidal Masters (MQA) playback from iPhones and Android smartphones. MQAs technology folds high-resolution files into smaller files that can be streamed on the go. As MQA Renderers, DragonFly Black completed the unfolding process, allowing music lovers to enjoy a wider selection of high-res music. Click here to learn more about how MQA works. DragonFly Black supports Qobuz high-res playback from iPhones, Android smartphones, and MacOS and Windows computers. Qobuz streams and downloads music in bit-perfect FLAC, the most widely used format for mastering and archiving, at resolutions of up to 24-bit/192kHz. With DragonFly Black listeners can enjoy more than 40 million tracks in lossless 16-bit CD resolution and over 2 million hi-res files.
