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. Streamlength and monoClock are registered trademarks of Wavelength Audio, ltd.Ĭobalt employs ESS's new flagship ES9038Q2M DAC chip.

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. All DragonTails use AQ's Carbon-level USB cable.ĪUDIOQUEST, GORDON RANKIN: A BEAUTIFUL PARTNERSHIP.Includes a form-fitting DragonTail female USB-A to male USB-C Adaptor.Improved power-supply filtering that specifically increases immunity to WiFi, Bluetooth, and cellular noise.Microchip's superb PIC32MX274 microprocessor draws less current and increases processing speed by 33%.New, more advanced ESS ES9038Q2M DAC chip with a minimum-phase slow roll-off filter for more natural sound.
