AudioQuest DragonFly USB Digital-Audio Converter and Sydney Interconnect Sweepstakes

Register to win an AudioQuest DragonFly USB Digital-Audio Converter and Sydney Interconnect (MSRP $478) we are giving away.

According to AudioQuest:

Beautiful Sound ... From Any Computer: DragonFly is an affordable and easy-to-use device that delivers far superior sound by bypassing the poor quality sound card that is built into your computer. DragonFly is a sleek, flash drive sized Digital-Audio Converter that connects to a USB jack on a Mac or Windows PC, turning any computer into a true high- fidelity music source.

Whether you’re on the go or at home, listening on ear buds or connecting your computer to a stereo system, DragonFly reveals all the emotional expression and nuance that makes your favorite music, or movies, so enjoyable. However you connect it, DragonFly simply and easily makes any computer sound better.

Features:
Plays All Music Files: MP3 to 24-bit/192kHz
Drives Headphones Directly
Variable Output Drives Powered Speakers or Power Amp
Fixed Output Feeds Preamp or Receiver
Asynchronous Transfer Ensures Digital Timing Integrity
Two Clocks Enable Native Resolution Up To 24-bit/96kHz

For this special sweepstakes, included with DragonFly is a low-distortion AudioQuest Sydney analog interconnect cable with a 3.5mm "mini" plug at the DragonFly end and stereo RCAs at the other end. From AQ's Bridges & Falls series, Sydney is all that's required to connect DragonFly to a full-blown audio rig just like a traditional DAC or disc player, or directly to a power amplifier. Sydney employs superior materials and design, including solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ conductors, air-tube insulation, and AudioQuest's 3-layer Noise-Dissipation System for low distortion and high performance.

bramankp's picture

Hoping this doesn't turn out to be another finicky audiophile tool and is as easy to use as I've been led to believe by reviews.

I somehow managed to post the same comments twice - see above (note to self - nice try, or maybe not!)

john abramson's picture

sweet product; "seven come eleven"

Slee ZZ's picture

I could use an outboard DAC.  My iMac is a wonderful device, but the sound card leaves a bit to be desired.  I roll the dice...

garysi13's picture

I'm in for this!

wesleyhixson's picture

How convenient it would be to have great sound in such a portable package.

GeorgeHolland's picture

How Ironic that it takes a sweepstakes to get people to post on here when the importance of audio testing takes a back seat. Similar to voting for a president I suppose. Why bother when the powers that be will tell us how to think? Sad times.

Duck851's picture

Pick me!  Please please please!

W Guyll's picture

I'll take two.

Nauscicaa's picture

There are probably all kinds of reasons for it, but it always makes me die a little inside when I read "a resident of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia" on EVERY sweepstake you have :(

Unfortunately I spend much of my life away from my much loved home and photo studio audio systems.  Since I spend more time listening on the road than I do at home, I need one of these little guys to make it a bit easier to handle the road.
