About AudioQuest

AudioQuest has been the largest cable supplier to the high-end specialist market for many years. AudioQuest is sold in several hundred outlets in the US and in over sixty countries. Bill Lowe (Founder) is especially pleased that this success has been possible despite his insistence that the foundation of the company, and the foundation of AudioQuest marketing, must be the performance of the product. In the audio world, many professionals have learned that it is not always convenient to listen to the products they sell … they might learn something they don’t want to know! Bill has always understood the challenge of basing the existence of AudioQuest on the performance of the product. However, to Bill, this is the only reasonable way to do business and the only acceptable way to combine his passion for music (and all things high performance), with his need to make a living.

Does the job, but a little cumbersome
9 Aug 2020
Verified Buyer
As other reviewers have said, this provides a great connection from your phone or tablet to the Dragonfly DAC, but via a 10cm stiff cable. This makes it a little cumbersome if used with a phone in a pocket. Also, unlike the USB C DragonTail which came with my Dragonfly Cobalt, this Tail does not fit flush up to the Dragonfly. There is a 2mm gap between the Dragonfly case and the Tail's USB casing. Again, not a deal breaker, but it would be nice to see a redesign.

A little uncomfortable
13 Dec 2017
Verified Buyer
It does look pretty well made. Sound that comes out from headphones is great. Problem is that cable, although short, it is very stiff and becomes very annoying. It is like having your phone with an antenna connected to it. Like the very first phones in the nineties. It is uncomfortable to keep the lot in your pocket. But at the end of the day there's no choice, at least for the time being.

High quality but a little unwieldy for mobile use
26 Nov 2017
Verified Buyer
I got this to connect the Dragonfly red to mobile phone for listening on the train. It does ensure the best sound quality. However, because the wire is quite stiff, it all becomes a little unwieldy- not too bad once (if!) you have a seat but tricky when standing up or trying to put it all in your pocket.

For truly mobile use, it would be good if they would make a small high quality usb to micro adaptor (without the wire) or even better make the Dragonfly with a micro usb connector for use with phones/ tablets.
