MAGICAL SYNERGY — AUDIOQUEST DRAGONFLY COBALT & MEZE 99 CLASSICS
WHAT
The AudioQuest DragonFly Cobalt ($299) is the Alpha and Omega—the Beginning and the End—(to date) of the AudioQuest DragonFly headphone amplifier/preamplier/DAC line. “Unmusicality” will be forever banished from smartphone and computer alike, when the DragonFly Cobalt is allied to one’s system. And there is a richness and naturalness and transparency that only a very few audio components contain and, generally, not at this price point, but it is clearly bred into the DragonFly Cobalt. Budget allowing, the DragonFly Cobalt may well be an endpoint for those who seek to eschew the audiophile merry-go-round and wish simply to enjoy the music. Again, the more apt one’s headphones, the more intact one’s hearing, the more enjoyable, satisfying, and deliciously rich the experience will be. Bravo!
The Meze 99 Classics ($309) is primarily for music (and movie) lovers, in our quite subjective opinion, as it gets to the heart of the music, but with a transparency that nicely defines the venue whether intimate jazz club, symphony, arena rock concert, etc., while also providing great insight to the performer(s) and performance. And most important of all, the Meze 99 Classics will perform its magic with smartphones, computers, DAC-dongles, DAC/Amps, DAPs, etc. And don’t forget the movies or you’ll be missing out entirely on another of its wonderful strengths!
WHY
The AudioQuest DragonFly Cobalt and the Meze 99 Classics bring a truly exceptional synergy to bear for those who consider themselves music lovers and who enjoy a diverse array of musical genres from classical to jazz to hip-hop to country. And don’t forget, as mentioned above, the movies!
