Audio is “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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile 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. DragonFly Black outputs 1.2 volts—enough power to successfully drive all preamplifier input circuits and a wide range of today’s efficient headphones. With its higher 2.1-volt output, DragonFly Red is compatible with a wider range of headphones, including power-hungry, low-efficiency models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDragonFly Cobalt, our new flagship DAC, takes what music lovers around the world have come to expect from the multi-award-winning DragonFly family—\u003ci data-redactor-tag=\"i\"\u003enaturally beautiful, seductive sound\u003c\/i\u003e—and strips away fuzz and fog that weren't even noticeable until Cobalt removed them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow is this possible?
