MOONDROP DAWN PRO Review

The new DAWN PRO from MOONDROP adopts dual flagship decoding amp chips CS43131 from Cirrus Logic. It uses HiFi-class USB digital interface chip, dual independent crystal oscillators, and three independent power supply chips for supplying each IC separately, forming a set of high-efficiency and high-performance HiFi audio circuit architecture, which meets enough thrust, ultra-low distortion, ultra-low noise, and rich details in audio experience with low power consumption.

MOONDROP DAWN PRO

DAWN PRO is compatible with most available computers, smartphones, and laptops, and supports decoding PCM from 16Bit/44.1kHz to 32Bit/384kHz, even for 1Bit with DSD512. DAWN PRO offers a 131dB dynamic range, and ultra-low background noise, its distortion is as low as 0.0001%, and the SNR exceeds 116dB, 4Vrms/120mW lossless output power.

Almost lossless 100-level volume control, which separates the device volume control from the smartphone, presents better performance and brings a smooth control experience.

The housing of DAWN PRO combines aviation aluminum alloy, CNC, and mold forming, and the surface is processed by the anodized, which has excellent texture and durability. In the design of the heat dissipation structure, DAWN PRO has utilized the design idea of desktop HiFi devices, and the heat dissipation vents are set above the chips which generate more heat, improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
