Ifi just released "go link" dongle for the same price. I'm very interested in comparisons between them. Are you planning to get one in the future for the review?
Love the channel! I have burned by Moondrop twice on bad cables and their customer service suggested I buy a replacement… Your review is great but I’m gonna pass on Moondrop
I have the moondrop variations and currently just using a basic ugreen dac for it with my ipad pro. Is it worth it to but the moondrop dawn or should i save some more for moondrop river? Thx in advance.
iirc the other one is separate left and right, since 3.5 'mixed' those in the jack worry more abt amp volume level if its abt sound balance, since some sound worse at >75% and unbalanced at very low volume
Another great review! You should have a listen to the E1DA 9038SG3. Their only downside is 2.5 balanced jack only, but it is superb price to performance ratio.
Three questions if you don’t mind 1) is there a lightening version available? 2) if not, can you recommend a lightening to usb-c adaptor 3) any idea why there are far fewer options available in terms of dongle DACs that natively support iPhones/lightening connections?
Yes, there is a lightening version for iPhones. Other DACs usually focus on USB-C since it's the dominant standard outside of Apple's ecosystem. So that's usually a default, with lightening adapters being an option (but not always). Anyways, Apple will switch to USB-C soon due to EU regulations so different connectors will not be a problem any more.
@@SileDevil It works on pc and phone. I have bought it for dioko, it gave very interesting results. It is not suitable for earphones with already elevated bass. One more thing, you need adapter USBc to usbA.
@@bojankozz9211 thanks! for the price i gu3ss it is worth a try. Have you tried it with 100 ohm over ear headphones? im thi king of using it as a dac and connect the headphone out to a pre amp for extra juice
You were right in terms of form & description but incorrect by means of shape identification. An equally sided rectangle is a square. A parallelogram that is "squared" meaning right-angled is a rectangle. Any trolls out there & I useless plan drawer 😂
I am totally not into headphones, but do have some Sennheiser PX100 and Sony MDR-V55 and a Sharkoon mobile dongle dac. I much prefer listening to speakers, but maybe my headphones just suck. When a hook up the dongle to an amp it sounds good enough but on headphones just too closed in. When I cast it to my Argon Solo (you should really have someone send it to you because it will be a while before Serbia will join the EU) everything cleared up. Also I'm not inclined to spend a lot of money on it for fear I won't use it very much anyway. Maybe look for some nice vintage ones on the used market since my new DAC also has a headphone amp in it.
I can't tell the difference between filters at all. Seems like a placebo. Also, the 3.5mm adapter does have a square shape as well as a rectangle. Tell those people to kick rocks. Lol.
i have a noob question. will these dongle dacs need the usb player pro on android phones or will they work fine with spotify apple music youtube and local storage media etc
Can somebody please recommend a suitable dongle dac/amp to bring the best out of my Moondrop Aria’s/iPhone. Currently using Apples lightning to 3.5mm dongle but I could use more volume. Thank you.
JCally have good budget dongle dacs with the same chip. You can get the same style of sound for 10-20 euros, but only with a 3.5mm connection and lower power.
Good morning Toronto, from the afternoon Belgrade. ☕🧁 Using a proprietary connector has its perks and downsides. But EU just pushed a law that will make Apple switch to USB-C too.
What kind of fool would yell at you over a geometrical shape? Stuffy audiophile? Ugh people have nothing better to do I guess? You keep up the great videos don't worry about what those fools say. 100% great job
1. Hello please tell me the best analytical, resolution and better mid for variations! because my Songs have lots of mid binaural, vibrant, lush and mid notes more than bass and treble 2. Also please tell me.......better soundstage and imaging 3. Better fast decay and faster bass or mids or that decay more quick please!!! i'm in need of HELP!!!!!!!!!!!sdijgpigjapgj @iiWi Reviews #iiWi Reviews or anyone please help me
the commend is based for Moondrop Variations specified cause my music got so many lots of mid range notes than anyother genre! they are more emotional too!!!
Well, it IS SQUARE from the front end. Just a rectangle from the sides.
From a "geometry buff" - you got it right; the single ended Dawn is a rectangle! And who doesn't *love* a dead and flat sound? ;-)
rule number 1. never apologize to internet trolls
You guys read my mind. Was literally just looking at this after discovering..but does the Apple dongle stay undefeated??
How does this compare to the apple usb-c dongle?
I finally know what iiwi stands for ;-)
When will you test Serbian speakers N.N.Acoustics KSN?
I'd love to hear your thoughts and compare them to some other brend speakers.
do you plan to review the qudelix 5k dac?
How does it compare to the Dragonflys
You should also not forget that USB OUT at PCs is often limited to 500 mV and this limitation should be removed in the device manager.
@Mike Byrne Take a look at the Energie Settings for the USB Device of your Computer. I did this at my Win 10 PC..
👋 SRBOLJUB,…SORRY ABOUT THE CRITICISM OF YOUR RECTANGLE 😢😅 BUT CARRY ON WITH YOUR THOUGHTS AND IGNORE THEM 🤗👍💚💚💚
Compare to ibasso dc03 pro?
I'm considering either the Moondrop Dawn or the Fiio Q11 Bluetooth Dac/Amp. Which would you recommend for soundstage and warmer sound?

Moondrop Dawn with Portable headphones amp or desktop amp Vs Shanling UA5 or Cayin RU6
I wonder which is BETTER ! ! !

Dig the Audiophile sit down stand up. Very funny. Excellent
Glad you like it. I belive that everything is better with a healthy dose of humor. 😊
Would have been interested in comparisons to Audioquest dongle dacs
I sold both of my Black and Cobalt a long time ago. But from indirectly comparison, this one is better - more revealing, open, and airy than Black.
I'm new to the audio world can someone explain the difference between the 3.5mm and 4.4 mm variant of the Moondrop Dawn? Thanks
just buy the 3.5
iirc the other one is separate left and right, since 3.5 'mixed' those in the jack
worry more abt amp volume level if its abt sound balance, since some sound worse at >75% and unbalanced at very low volume
Another great review!

It’s like you’re inside my head. Great questions.
@@iiWiReviews great information thank you for the videos and comment feedback.
what would be the warmest bassies sounding dac amp on a 100$ budget ?
Muse hifi m1 13 eur

@@SileDevil Try it, it is really cheap. Don't have nothing over 60 Omh. One more thing that is important, it's not getting hot.

Have u tried Questyle M15, one of the best dongle dac right now some said
For $250 it better be.
