Following the success of the recently launched Moondrop DAWN 4.4mm Portable USB DAC/AMP, Moondrop has now revealed a single-ended variant for the DAWN, Let’s meet the all-new Moondrop DAWN 3.5mm Single-Ended Portable USB DAC/AMP. They have kept the DAC design and internal circuitry arrangement the same as with the DAWN, housing a premium Dual DAC chipset from Cirrus Logics(2xCS43131) and dual independent crystal oscillators.
