Dang it.

The dawn of a new era

The Moondrop DAWN is a fully-balanced portable DAC/amp for use with PCs, laptops, phones, tablets, and other devices. It features audiophile-grade architecture like full-balanced decoding and stunning specs like 132dB dynamic range. This dead-simple, super portable device is the perfect addition to any traveling audiophile’s packing list.

Fully-balanced dual decoding chips

The Moondrop DAWN uses dual CS43131 high-performance DAC chips for full-balanced decoding through four channels. It supports playback types of up to DSD256 and PCM 32-bit/768kHz.

4.4mm true balanced headphone output

A 4.4mm true balanced earphone jack outputs up to 4Vrms of power, offering up to 230mW of undistorted power at 32Ω.

Type-C interface

Equipped with a USB Type-C interface, the DAWN is compatible with current-gen devices, including Android and Apple, and can be adapted with a dongle for even more compatibility.

Aviation-grade aluminum alloy shell

Designed with an aviation-grade aluminum alloy CNC shell, the DAWN is strong in the face of drops and bumps, and shields the electronics from external electromagnetic interference.
