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.

Good description

This was the only site which showed decent photos of the product. I was a bit concerned that I might be ordering the wrong connector type, but this site showed me that I was buying the correct one.

Also, the price was competitive, and the item was sent to first-class post. All in all, a good purchasing experience

Works well; a little unwieldy
12 Jul 2021
Verified Buyer
Bought this to connect Dragonfly Red to Galaxy S20 Ultra. Set-up needed me to download USB Audio Player Pro app for £6.99 to work properly, but once I'd done this it worked flawlessly, and the Dragontail seems to cope well, even with very hi-res FLAC files. Sound is exceptional.

My only quibble is that the combination of S20 + Dragontail + Dragonfly is about 30cm from end to end, so you obviously need to bend the Dragonfly back on the phone to make the set-up portable. This requires care, both to ensure the fairly stiff Dragontail is not bent too much and also to ensure the Dragonfly does not scratch the phone (depending on what phone case you have). Fiio sell connecting wires for use with their headphone amps and DACs that are "pre-bent", ensuring easier use and less risk of damaging the connector as it is bent and re-bent over time - Audioquest would do well to copy this. This issue to one side, I'd definitely recommend the Dragontail to anyone buying one of the Dragonfly DAC/Amps.

Superb Audioquest quality

I've purchased the Audioquest usb-c adapter before for a music application and it worked flawlessly. This time was out of necessity for a keyboard connection, the Apple usb-c adapter didn't work and out of sheer curiosity I tried the Audioquest. It worked perfectly. Instantly ordered another two. Highly recommended product.

Superb service and fast shipping from the guys at Futureshop.

I have always found Audioquest products to be good value (apart from the very expensive ones). They do what it says on the tin. The DragonBall enables me to play youtube from my new phone through my hifi, and the sound is surprisingly good.

Service from futureshop always a pleasure - good knowledgeable advice. No pressure selling, and will, for example, advise against buying super expensive gear if it is not necessary. Well done futureshop - keep up the good work!

This was recommended by Audioquest for their Dragonfly DAC so I took the plunge not thinking it would make that much difference but boy was I wrong. Clarity and musicality was significantly improved with my OnePlus 6T. Really worth the asking price.
