Review: Excellent DAC, especially for the price - This DAC is really good for the price. It is small enough to everyday carry, and with the aluminum case it's sturdy enough too. I have been using it with my phone and PC for a long time now, and it sounds excellent. Never given me a single problem. It can drive every headphone I've thrown at it. I was delighted that it just works, plug and play on Linux. Excellent product!
Review: Great DAC for you phone and mobility. - Nice DAC for the money super light and powerful. Headphone jack has normal power but there is a slight boost with the 4.4mm connections for richer sound. Controls are clear. Sound is great. Doesn't appear to be a battery hungry device and will run for hours on my iphone.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great DAC for you phone and mobility.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Astounding sound, with one caveat
*by R***E on January 24, 2026*

This device has made an astounding difference in the music stored on my phone. I ripped all my CDs to FLAC files during covid and have them stored on an SD card on my phone. When this device is utilized in conjunction with the USB Audio Music Player, music is going to be as good as it gets on a phone device. But a couple of things will determine just how good it does sound. First, your headphones. Cheap 20 dollar headphones are not going to deliver quality sound. However, if you are on a budget, the Koss KPH40 Utility On-Ear Headphones offered here on Amazon deliver surprisingly good sound for the price. Otherwise, decent headphones can be had for a hundred dollars, just read reviews to make that decision. Good headphones make all the difference. Second, your music format makes a huge difference. Those 128kbps MP3s are tightly compressed and just do not deliver the sound that FLAC files do. Yeah, I know it sounds confusing, but if you want your stored music to sound good, it makes a huge difference. If you stream your music, it's much better. That solves a lot of problems for you. Streamed music comes alive with this device. The Moondrop Dawn plays DSD/DSF files beautifully, if you have any of them. Not many people do, but for those that have them, this device shines. I do hesitate giving the Moondrop Dawn 5 stars, but that's not due to the sound. The C USB adapter that comes with the device is pretty frail. The connecting cable is thin and may easily be damaged or broken. They way our phones get tugged and pulled while running or moving about can be taxing on cables. Amazon offers a 10 dollar C USB to C USB cable that is robust and stout. For an extra 10 dollars, you can stop worrying about the connecting cable to your phone. It's worth the money. The cable I recommend is bright yellow and hard to miss in your Amazon search results. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CWGSGNSH?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 This device vastly improves the sound quality of music on your phone, and for the price, you cannot beat what it delivers.
