AudioQuest DragonTail Carbon USB A to C Adapter
Brand: AudioQuest
Color: Black
Categories: Electronics, Home Audio, Home Audio Accessories, Connectors & Adapters

The DragonTail USB adaptor activates USB Host Mode on most Android devices allowing the devices to transmit USB digital audio to an outboard digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Using DragonTail to connect to an external USB DAC such as an AudioQuest DragonFly will provide greatly improved audio performance. Solid 5% Silver Conductors Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications like HDMI audio and video. These signals being such a high frequency travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. As the surface is made of high-purity silver the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable but priced much closer to solid copper cable. This is an incredibly cost effective way of manufacturing very high-quality HDMI cables. All Conductors Controlled for RF Noise Directionality Hard-Cell Foam Insulation Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry. Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Hard-Cell Foam Insulation is similar to the Foamed-PE used in AQ's more affordable Bridges Falls cables and is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. Because nitrogen (like air) does not absorb energy and therefore does not release any energy from or into the conductor distortion is reduced. In addition the stiffness of the material allows the cable's conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the cable's full length producing a stable impedance character and further minimizing distortion. Carbon-Based Noise- and Crosstalk-Dissipation System This cable's negative conductors are covered with partially conductive Carbon-Loaded Polyethylene. This remarkable material reduces radio-frequency garbage being fed back into the ampl
