Customer Reviews
Time Spent with this DAP is more than 50 days, used many IEMs from Budget range to high end.
OBSERVATION & EXPERIENCE SO FAR.
- Wide soundstage, it's creating a spacious listening experience.
- Smooth and refined sound, with good bass & trebles. I liked it.
- little high Volume doesn't hurt ears because of spaciousness which this DAP creates.
- Main unique point is Vocals & Instruments separation, it's best.
- So far, I noticed Battery back up is really good. Will check it over time and provide feedback.
- Does not get warm that too after using for hours.
- Best software & Shanling Music app, it's very fast ( I use 1TB fully loaded Micro SD card.)
Please Note - Little more care is needed while handling as it has Glass tubes. Again it's unique offering & tubes makes music more enjoyable.
CONS-
1. Charging time ( it will get solve by software updates in future, Brand has co
nfirmed it in their post)
2. Only one colour option is available from Brand.
3. Some settings currently not present, Brand may add in future updates ( DSD gain Compensation, PEQ, MSEB, Night light short cut in quick pannel)
CONCLUSION-
a. Highly recommend those who want detailed & immersive experience.
b. THREE IN ONE- One DAP but three modes, all three sounds differently. One mode Transistor (without Tubes) and two Tube modes (Triode & Ultra- linear).

The Audiocular C03 is an exceptional value for money upgrade cable in the market with a decent mike and in line controls along with amazing build quality thank you The Audio Store for fast Delivery
Good for Gaming and Multimedia both
these iems are so clear with wide soundstage and these are small and lightweight and sits flat in ear without building out if u use small tips according to your ear , this is my second iem the first one was kz edx and it was bass heavy after listening to this , i find out that this is what we call iem neutral soundstage. this dsp version allows you to set a fix eq to the dsp and now you can use same eq anywhere you want if it is laptop or tablet or pc without installing an eq software, the app also have community driven eq sharing where individuals can share there eqs you can pick eqs from there to suit your preference
It is really really good and the vocals clarity is much more higher than the traditional default 3.5mm ports of smartphones. I think, it is a great investment.
Anc & Transparency mode nice, Battery hrs fullfill & Mic quality top notch,
Soft touch Key function.
Best IEM under 5K. You'll be surprised by the value you're getting.
It's a great and adorable dac at the same time. It fulfills the need without a heavy toll on the pocket.It comes with a 3.5mm to type C converter with High res and moreover a Usb C to A converter.
While I wouldn’t call myself an audiophile, the Moondrop Space Travel 2 delivers an impressive listening experience that exceeds expectations at this price point. The sound is clean and well balanced, with excellent clarity and instrument separation. Bass is present but not overpowering, and the overall loudness feels well tuned. My only real criticism lies with the case that is the open-top design makes handling the earbuds a little fiddly, and there’s a learning curve to inserting and removing them smoothly.
crisp details and decent bass. overall, perfectly balanced sound. loving it. Also kudos to the quick one day delivery.
This is my first IEM and kz did an wonderful job making this piece of beauty, paired along with a dac it's even better, the lows are good, the mids and highs are even better, the stereo seperation and audio quality is much better than my previous tws. This tws even got a control switch, if you're an audiophile then this would make a difference you'll feel it, but to other people who uses casually not much of a difference they'll feel, the iem feels premium and the wire quality is good. Lastly thanks audio store for providing this at one of the lowest prices where on other platform this ain't even available, the packaging was excellent and even if the outer cardboard box got a bit deformed but inside the product box were perfect so 10/10 on packaging. The quality of headphones 8.5/10, the quality of the audiocular dac I ordered with this iem 8/10. Overall go for this iem at this price range this is a beast.
It's warm/bassy sound is what I like the most. The emphasis is more on sub bass but also not in ur face. Mid bass also sounds clean without being shouty. Treble is really smooth with slight sparkle which is great if ur treble sensitive. I can listen to these for hours at work without being distracted or fatigue. Good fit and build quality. Any genre sounds good on this iem.
As redditors said its good. But might be boring at initial iem try. App has lot of EQs to tweak and play
I would like to thank Purecast & Pritam ...I was not sure if this was required. I however noticed it's not a normal dac it's a DAC Amp so it also amplifies sound...it comes in a cool packaging with cover and I am thankful that Audiocular was thoughtful to add a typeC to Type A convertor as I am using this mainly in my Dell laptop. Thanks Audiocular.
Bought the Moondrop Dawn Pro Balanced DAC/AMP recently. Build feels premium with a sleek metal body, swappable 3.5 mm & 4.4 mm outputs, plus handy volume buttons. Noticed extra loudness and a subtle but clear improvement in my IEMs. For the price, totally worth it! 🎶
I used lots of earphones and earbuds, neckband but this IEMs sound is different unbelievable I loved it Thanks 👍🏻
