Audioquest DragonTail USB Extender for Dragonfly DAC

The AudioQuest DragonTail USB Extender is a functional yet non-complex addition to the equipment of every DragonFly DAC user. It’s built to offer elasticity and, at the same time, the smoothest possible data transmission. It is easily your best USB audio device for the DAC fibre optic converter.

The USB extender takes the burden off you. It also increases the possibility of moving the DragonFly DAC to the optimal position and making the most of it.

Audioquest DragonTail USB Extender for Dragonfly DAC

The Audioquest DragonTail USB Extender for Dragonfly DAC is a USB type-A male to female cable that allows you to connect your Dragonfly USB DAC to a PC. The DragonTail extender helps ensure that the Dragonfly does not hinder any extra USB ports when connected to a laptop or PC. The DragonTail USB extender shares much of its technology with the Audioquest Carbon USB cable.

Solid 5% Silver Conductors

Solid conductors minimise the harmful effects of electrical and magnetic strand-to-strand interaction. For digital cables, whose signals are highly frequent, they travel almost exclusively on the conductor’s surface. Increasingly thick layers of silver plating are applied to AudioQuest’s Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors to improve noise dissipation further.

Placing the superior metal outside the conductor produces the greatest benefit on overall performance. This is a superbly cost-effective way to maximise the DragonTail USB Extender.

Carbon-Based 5-Layer Noise-Dissipation

It’s easy to accomplish 100% shield coverage. Preventing captured Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment’s ground reference. The DragonTail requires AQ’s Noise-Dissipation System (NDS). Traditional shield systems absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to the component ground. Modulating and distorting the critical “reference” ground plane, which in turn distorts the signal.

Hard-Cell Foam Insulation

Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation in the DragonTail USB Extender ensures critical signal-pair geometry. Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is part of an imperfect circuit. Both wire insulation and circuit board materials absorb energy. They store some of this energy and then release it as distortion.

Hard-cell foam Insulation is similar to the foam-PE Audioquest uses in the more affordable Bridges & Falls cables. And nitrogen is injected to create air pockets.

The best possible link

The DragonTail USB Extender is an instrument replete with new potentialities opening since it’s not just a cable of a specific geometric length. Still, it’s also a new audio standard that this cable sets by detecting your audio at the starting end and recreating it as such on the other end, due to its being very short.

Freedom in the interaction

With the introduction of the DragonTail USB Extender, people previously bound by connection limitations have become more demoralised. Interaction with the DragonFly DAC is no longer just a one-on-one situation; the possibilities are endless. The importance of a soft and elastic string in any cable is irreplaceable. The practical protection the cable gets is much more than just a mere rubber insulation or spade tip.

Features and Benefits

• High fidelity in music file transmission: A good-quality connector will ensure that your sound signal is free of distortion or noise.
• Less resistance more length: It is better when the signal stays away from the computer and its electrical noise. And closer to your DAC.
• Durable Construction: Manufactured to be strong enough to protect you from damage and last a long period easily.
• Compatible with DragonFly DAC’s: Built to harmonise with the AudioQuest DragonFly series perfectly.

Technical Specifications

• Metal: Solid 5% Silver
• Noise Dissipation: Carbon-Based Mesh-Network + Directional RF Draining
• Insulation: Hard-Cell Foam
• Bitrate: Up To 480 Mbps
• Signal Type: Digital

Summary of the AudioQuest DragonTail USB Extender for DragonFly DAC

The DragonTail is one piece of AudioQuest equipment that is a perfect fit for the DragonFly DAC’s in both technology and design. The uninterrupted transmission of the digital signal ensures that only high-quality and lossless sound is produced. Thus, meeting the needs of audiophiles.

Flexible and Practical Design

By equipping the cable with the needed length and flexibility. The USB extender has become a realistic sidekick to every DAC user looking to solve their space issues and minimise the wear and tear. The end user’s sustainable choice is the one that helps the DAC and the USB port work in an active condition rather than using the other poorly developed solution.

Built to Last

A compact product that protects from clutter while carrying out the main functions is not an accessory that can be easily eliminated. The DragonTail USB Extender is the perfect choice when you want to indulge all of the DAC performance while avoiding the space constraints of an older laptop.
