    @@f_society9151 Hello! Well, it doesn't make bad equipment sound "better," but it definitely scales the function of our equipment better. Think of the DAC as your graphics card for a laptop. Most graphics cards work fine for most uses, but when you play heavy games, which in the audio world is like high quality music files, a the regular graphic card can play it, but it loses out on showing the nicest and most detailed qualities of the game. So, this is what the dongle does, it sort of allows for more of the music to be pumped out for a lower volume setting, and that in turn makes it sound better because you get more details and just a generally better feel of the equipment you're listening on.

    ​​@@f_society9151no. All dacs do the same thing. Transform audio from digital to analog. Hearing a difference between them is just placebo. They're good if you want more volume than your phone's headphone jack, or if you want balanced audio if you have interference.

    @@f_society9151 Improved Sound Quality: Phones typically have a basic DAC and amplifier that prioritize efficiency and cost over ultimate sound quality. A dedicated DAC and amplifier will generally have better quality components that provide a cleaner, more accurate conversion of digital audio to analog. This results in clearer, more detailed sound with better dynamics. Higher Power Output: A dedicated headphone amplifier can provide more power than a typical smartphone. This is particularly important for headphones that are harder to drive, though less critical for efficient IEMs like the Blessing 3. Nonetheless, even for easier-to-drive IEMs, the extra power ensures that you can listen at any volume without distortion. Reduced Noise and Interference: Smartphones can introduce electrical noise from other internal components like the CPU and wireless signals. A dedicated DAC and amplifier are designed to minimize such interference, thus offering a cleaner signal path and reducing background noise. Better Handling of High-Resolution Audio: While some smartphones support high-resolution audio, dedicated DACs are often designed to handle a wide range of audio formats and resolutions with better fidelity. They can decode higher resolution files natively, ensuring you get the most out of your high-resolution audio tracks. Enhanced Volume and Gain Control: Dedicated headphone amplifiers offer more precise volume control and multiple gain settings, allowing you to fine-tune the listening level and dynamics according to your preferences and the specific needs of your headphones. Improved Stereo Imaging and Soundstage: A high-quality amplifier can improve the separation between channels and enhance the soundstage, making the audio feel more spacious and immersive. This is particularly noticeable in well-recorded music where instrument placement and spatial cues are key.

    Hey! Thanks so much for checking out the review. I only have the 4.4 version of the original Dawn, so the only direct comparisons I could do was with the 4.4 outputs. I couldn't find the power output of the 3.5, but usually, it is about half of the balanced power output, which would be around 60 mW. That's more than enough power for almost any IEM. So you should be safe just getting the Dawn Pro if you mainly listen to IEMs. I can't really hear a difference in bass quality when switching from the 3.5 to 4.4 using IEMs. The only time I noticed a difference was with full-size headphones.

    Hi. Andy from donglemadness said that the dawn sound identical with dc3pro. And with this review we know that dawn pro sound the same as dawn but less power. So conclusion is dc3pro sound the same as dawn pro, but I think dc3 pro has more power. Three of them has the same dac chip. I my self have the dc3pro and curious about dawn pro, thanks to this vid, I see no point for getting it. But had I not have the dc3pro, I would probably went for dawn pro because its dual bal output.

    The BTR5 is a completely different beast from the Dawn Pro. The BTR5 is basically a BT device that can be used as a wired dac/amp. It has WAY more features than the Dawn, like a LED display, a battery, a mic, NFC, etc. It also puts out double the power from its 2.5mm balances output (240mW), has a dual balanced DAC chipset, a dedicated app, hands-free calling, among other things. If you want features like this, the BTR5 is a no-brainer. If you want a dac/amp with a sole purpose being just that without all the bells and whistles, the Dawn should be better. I have/have had Fiio dac/amps on the past. I also have the BTR3K that I use when I want BT. Sound-wise, The 3K (through its 2.5mm bal out) has a warm-ish sound that has decent detail and resolution but based on how the Dawn was described, it sounds like it might have better clarity and detail.

    Does the Dawn Pro support microphone input for IEMs with mics in their cable? Wondering since the HiBy FC1/3/4 have this feature. Dawn Pro would be perfect if it did since I really like the 100 step volume control. The only thing making me consider the FC1 is that mic support. The FC4 actually fits my preferences, but it's ~$25 more than the Dawn Pro. Also, do you think the 3.5mm output power of the Dawn Pro is more or less than 70mW? Asking coz the FC1 is rated for 70wM @ 32Ohms. Thanks!

    How can I know if the MOONDROP DAWN PRO is working at 32 bit? I currently have the ifi UNO and the LED changes color to yellow when it is in 32 bit and thanks to that I have noticed that in Windows 11 every time the PC turns on , the DAC goes to 24 bit and does not allow you to go to 32 bit unless you turn it off and on again, which is very annoying. I would like to buy the MOONDROP but I am afraid that like the IFI UNO it will not stay in 32 bit all the time

    I suggest you buy a real digital audio player (DAP) instead of LG smartphone with audiophile features. For budget ones the Hiby R3ii comes to mind (I'm buying this myself soon enough). A dedicated DAP has the advantage of not draining your phone's battery and vice versa. Phone is for communicating, DAP for music listening. With Bluetooth enabled DAP, the phone can easily be connected to the DAP. Or if a DAP is out of your budget or impractical, then buy a dongle like this Moondrop (or even go cheaper with one of those Jcally types). Why not the audiophile phone like the LG V40? Because smartphones come and go, you don't want to tie in your music listening to a smartphone. There might be other phone brands with better features than the V40, so you don't need to compromise with an all in one.

But if you want to use an earphone with an inline microphone, because this player doesn't support it, you'd need a dongle. A cheap JCALLY dongle will do the job below 10usd. Point is, Hiby players allow you to load your music files to listen to it independent from the phone. In addition, it can also function as a DAC through USB or Bluetooth. These functions aren't available in dongles.
