MOONDROP DISCDREAM 2 Portable CD Player USB Desktop Sound Card Function Optical Digital Output

Sounds crisp and clear and is shock resistant.
The music sounds crisp and clear but it could have more base. There is no equalizer or tone control to adjust for different earbuds so make sure you are using the best.The unit is shock resistant so you can walk around with it, but it will require a pouch of some sort as it is not sleekly designed like the Discman, it is boxy.While it runs off of the battery, you can plug in the USB charging cord (no regular pronged plug) and use it while it is charging. It is easy to get pronged plugs with USB connections.The readout is easy to see, letting you know which track you are on and how charged the battery is.The Buttons are big and easy to use. The On-Off switch in the back is small but this prevents you from accidentally turning off the unit while listening to music.

Sound Quality
Excellent sound. There is a noticeable hiss when the USB is plugged into the pc but it only needs to be used when charging the device. So charge it when you are not playing music. You will however have to use it if you are in pc mode. That is, you are watching you tube or listening to other digital content on line but that it not how I use it. I do that from my audio interface and studio monitors. No need to use the Moondrop.UPDATE:I made a discovery today. I had the USB plugged into a USB3.2 port. I switched to a 3.0 port and the hiss issue is gone. The 3.2 port connection also disabled my separate computers audio. This fixed this issue as well.

Pound for pound, it stacks up against all.
The on-board DAC is clean and clear. Battery was full after being in transit for a month. Can’t knock it, so far and I don’t think I’ll be able to. Paired up with my Hifiman open-back headphones, it sounds crystal clear with plenty of volume to spare. The price is a bit high but you get what you pay for and I am happy. They have a new model coming out (as of February 2025) and so you may opt for that but you shouldn’t be disappointed if this one is what you have.

excellent sound
excellent line outputs worth the money imo would buy more products from moondrop design packaging was on point as well

Sieht toll aus, hat alles, was man braucht (Digitalausgang und eigene Super-Wandler + Kopfhörerverstärker, Akku). Als Gerät für unterwegs etwas klobig, auch wenn absolut schüttelfest. Aber bei mir steht er schick im Zimmer und spielt alles, auch noch die ältesten selbstgebrannten CDs, ohne Aussetzer. Bin begeistert (und das für einen Preis, wo man viel viel weniger erwarten könnte 🙂 ).

Ho acquistato questo lettore per diversi motivi, tra cui la possibilità di spostarlo facilmente senza troppi problemi. Al primo impatto sorprende: sembra molto più solido e curato di quanto ci si aspetterebbe, considerato che è comunque un prodotto in plastica.Esteticamente è molto gradevole, colorato e originale, una bella alternativa ai soliti modelli grigi o neri che si trovano ovunque.L’ho collegato a una cassa Marshall Stanmore 3 e devo dire che il suono mi ha davvero colpito: molto chiaro, dettagliato e con bassi rotondi e pieni, grazie anche alla qualità della Marshall.Considerando il prezzo a cui l’ho acquistato, posso dire che è stato un ottimo affare. Lo consiglio a chi cerca un lettore CD compatto, colorato e facile da trasportare.In più, le batterie integrate ricaricabili offrono un’autonomia davvero eccellente, un dettaglio non da poco.In conclusione, è un prodotto consigliato a chi vuole ascoltare i propri CD in modo nitido e piacevole, senza dover spendere cifre esagerate.
