Here's the blurb:
A SOUND UPGRADE FOR YOUR PC, MAC OR LAPTOP
With the huge amount of digital music out there, many of us now listen to our music libraries via a PC, Mac or laptop. While there's little that can beat them for storage and ease of use, the sound quality isn't always the best and can easily be improved. Where PCs and even Macs fall down is in the quality of their built-in DACs (Digital to Analogue Convertors). Good enough to do the job but certainly not up to hi-fi standards. This is where USB DACs such as the Audioquest Dragonfly come in. Whether you use headphones or have your computer connected directly to your hi-fi, the Dragonfly simply offers a massive improvement in sound quality. By connecting into a USB socket, the Dragonfly bypasses the computer's built-in DAC, instead passing sound through its own, high-end hi-fi quality device. Simply plug in your headphones or 3.5mm cable and you're good to go.
BIG SOUND FROM A SMALL PACKAGE
Although tiny, the Dragonfly is every bit as impressive as many full-size DACs. The technical specification includes a high quality 24-bit ESS Sabre DAC that's usually found in more expensive hi-fi. Asynchronous transfer and twin clocks ensure perfectly timed and controlled digital information enters the DAC, meaning you get a highly accurate and precise sound quality. Compared to a computer's headphone output you'll notice a much more dynamic sound with far more detail and openness. In essence, the sound will simply be more lifelike - and then some!
PLAYS MULTIPLE MUSIC FILES, RIGHT UP TO 24-BIT/192KHZ (downsampled to 96kHz)
Despite its tiny size, the Dragonfly will also play back a wide variety of music files. Twin clocks ensure perfect playback of 44.1kHz (CD quality), 48kHz, 88.2kHz and 96kHz. As a final neat touch, the dragonfly logo glows various colours to indicate the file frequency! Green for CD (44.1kHz), blue for 48kHz, amber for 88.2kHz and magenta for 96kHz.
