The Dragonfly Cobalt is everything an audio enthusiast needs. Thumb size, decent quality and most importantly: great sound! Only ifs and buts I have to note are the included Dragontail (USB-A to USB-C adapter) and Android compatibility. The Dragontail quickly falls out of my Samsung Galaxy S9+ and Android isn't much of a fan of Hi-Fi USB Audio. It works, but everything is scaled to 16 bits / 48 kHz. To get around this, you need an app for about 10 euros that you can download from the Play Store (AudioQuest also recommends doing this). With that app it all works great and the sound is exceptional.

The Cobalt has a very handy size and looks nice. Easy to connect, no problems with the cable and the first use. I am incredibly impressed with the sound improvement and very pleased with the purchase. The price is definitely on the high side, but I'm still so impressed with the sound that I don't think about that when I have the Cobalt in use.
