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

Exactly what I was looking for. I was interested in using a simple CD transport with top quality parts and build. with Toslink SPDIF digital output to feed my Yggdrasil LIM and Topping octo, and Musician Drako...all excellent DACs. This CD deck features a great drive that is virtually skip free, and capable of reading CD, CDR and CDRW. This Moondrop Discdream 2, has a very well implemented DAC of popular choice for many. It has enough power in its headphone output to drive most of my headphones to more than loud enough levels. My Sennheiser hd600 are not efficient enough for this player, while easier to drive , lower impedance headphones, as are the others I have, are well powered by this machine. I am impressed with the smoothness, strain-free clarity and precise imaging, along with a refreshing openness this player is capable of on its own. I love that it functions as a USB dac and amp with my PC (Chromebook)..and delivers hi-res streaming from Qobuz beautifully. No noise. no distortion audible ever. Tracking.. A+++++++ ...Portabiity.. B .......display & features..A++++++++++++.. user interface A++++++.......SOUND A+++++++++++

I am using this hardwired to an external speaker. This seems to be a good product. Sound quality is good. Startup time is good. I like that you ca. open the lid with 1 hand easily. It doesn’t lock like portables. I wish that it had a remote control like larger cd players.

Compact, easy to use, stylish, good audio sound; however the casing itself audibly vibrates when the disc is spinning. If one modestly squeezes the casing the sound is reduced. Standing near the machine with the volume low it can be plainly heard, another bump or two louder and it can’t. Follow-up: the mechanical noise seems to have lessened after several hours of play time. I’ll raise my rating to 4 stars.

Excellent CD player with sturdy build quality. Sound quality is fantastic (it’s even better with a iFi attenuator to play it at max volume and headphones - awesome tone and clarity with this method). Recommended!

The first bit of tech that I bought froma chinese company that isn't made from cheap plastic, cheaper electrical parts and cost cutting techniques. I.e., chineseium! If you want a cheap Walkman cd player that puts out 5 star level audio quality made from parts that are worth the price, this is the disk player for you. AND the instructions that come with it double as a poster too! Tho I'd recommend framing it in a double sided glass portrait frame so you can enjoy looking at the poster while also not having th worry about the instructions getting damaged on the other side if you ever want to use the instructions again as a refresher.

Doesn't have gapless playback. Not sure why so many players don't have this basic function which was so common in the 90s/2000's. Also, the player was much bigger than I thought it would be. I have tried a bunch (Shanling EC play, Shanling EC Zero, Fiio DM15, Klim Nomad, etc). Out of the players I tried, the Shanling EC Zero AKM is the clear winner. It doesn't skip, doesn't create random static, can be hooked up to bluetooth, sounds great, has gapless playback, etc. My biggest issue with it was it's a little bigger than I wanted for a portable, and not as easy to hook up to bluetooth (though not too difficult to get it working). I really wanted to like the Shanling EC Play and the Fiio DM15, but they both had major problems (the EC Play didn't play many of my cd's that all of the other players I tested played with no problem, and the Fiio DM15 seems good at first, but then will start randomly skipping around and create random static sounds that the Shanling EC Zero and other players didn't do). Ultimately, the whole process of trying to find a great portable CD player made me question the quality control process these companies go thru where basic functionality doesn't even work. Not sure why it's so difficult to create a good working portable CD player anymore as the ones in the 90s/early 2000's were great, and even the more expensive ones don't seem to work as well.

This is an amazing product. Never have I thought I was missing an equalizer. My CD collection has never sounded so good.

Nice but couldn't interface with 2024 Lexus

Ich betreibe den MOONDROP Discdream 2 CD-Spieler zusammen FiiO KA11 USB-Dongle DAC und Amp und den Edifier M60 Mini-Aktivboxen auf meinem Schreibtische. So kann ich beim Arbeiten am PC so gut Musik hören, dass ich eine große Musikanlage nie vermisse. Die Klangqualität ist gefühlt um Längen besser als die 2000-Jahre-Stereoanlage. Ein Nachteil besteht.: Von den rund 800 CDs, die ich wieder hervorgeholt habe sind rund 1/4 wegen der miesen Aufnahmequalität jetzt mit dem deutlich leistungsfähigeren CD-Spieler und dem tollen DAC nicht mehr angenehm hörbar.

Llegó muy rápido, hasta ahora excelente, muy buen sonido, su funcionamiento muy bien en todo

Really nice little unit, purchased to use the optical out with my DAC as I have no analogue pre amp anymore. works well, solid build, great styling. My only gripe, and reason to drop a star is: For the price, a remote control would have been nice, however given its intended as a portable device it makes sense why it doesn't have one. but just sees a little on the pricey side for what it is.

It's only been a short time but I love this CD player. I use it as a desktop player and will probably never use it as a portable player. I love the design and it actually appears nicely constructed. I have been using the mini toslink connection which works perfectly. I'll have to see how it holds up over time but as of now, I love it!

Fantastic little CD player that is rechargeable for maximum flexibility. Connecting it up was very easy and the sound quality is superb. The lid does have a habit of dropping shut quite violently, so take care when lowering it.
