I love the look of this with the smooth CNC milled body (or appearance) with the clear backing, but something like a FC6, RU6, or RU7 on sale seems like it may be worth the extra $.
I just tried Moonriver 2 Ti and Fosi Audio DS1 - while they are vastly different in price - when driving the Austrian Audio Hx60 with it - the Fosi Audio DS1 won by far. The sound was better. For me it felt like I got more detail out of the DS1 than the Moonriver 2 Ti when both had the same volume. I noticed that the Moonriver gives more power, but Fosi will give you the better sound signature. More bass and more goose bump feeling in the mids. This may not be the same for you - since it heavily depends on what you are driving - My Hx60 from Austrian Audio are only 25 Ohms.
One of my best dongles. I really regretted that I sold the original but now there is an updated one. Moondrop needs to make a protective case for this beauty.
Wow! Spot on review, you really nailed this on! Thank you. I'm baffled that moondrop won't transparently inform the power ratings, I presume it would be an important parameter to choose accordingly to user needs. Curious how they would compare to Fiio KA5, you did mention Q11 though. Have a nice one!
No "output impedance" spec, no buy from me and rule of thumb is if you don't see a certain spec then it is atrocious. Almost all dongles are screwed, take a look at various dongles output impedance spec and at Mojo 2.
i still have two moonriver 2. first one the button on the side fell off and emailed shenzhenaudio and they just asked for a picture from email, they sent me a new one free of charge also didnt have to send the one with the button that fell off. also had my little white stop working within few days of receiving and the sent new one within a week no charge.
I just wish the FC6 had a discrete balanced out instead of the SE. Then I would jump that. Do you think it is worth owning both the BTR7 and the FC6 - is there enough of a sonic difference to match different IEMs?…
A nice update, but I really hate the glass back - I'd rather have a solid unit that's more durable. A real shame because this is one of the most gorgeous dongle DACs I've ever seen. It would have been sooo cool if the underside were milled into river pebbles like a dry riverbed. I know that would add $20 to the price.
Hi i am new to headphones and dongles will this give me enough performance and power for my quad era 1 planars which are 3.5mm or would i need a 4.4mm cable , many thanks
How would this compare to the Cayin RU7? My use case involves playing music on bigger pro audio systems as well, the Cayins Line out feature sounds interesting for those applications. Would you have any input regarding this? I'm looking to purchase my first decent DAC, currently using the Shanling UA1.
not sure if you found out, but it means your device is on high gain. hold both the volume up and volume down for a sec and it will be put in low gain ( at least thats how its done with the moonriver 2 original) low gain is handy if useing low impedance handphones/iem or running low on phone battery
@@feriel1216 I guess the ti version doesn't have low gain but better volume control compared to original. I watched iiwi reviews as was wondering what changed with the dac. Just curious do you use yours with your phone or pc/laptop, I use mine as a mix of both
Has anyone in the US received one of these? I ordered mine from Amazon over a month ago and it's late. I'm not good with extremely long delivery times.
They said it was out of stock and refunded my money. Why did they say it was shipped Sept 20 if it was out of stock the whole time? I'm getting the Questyle M15 instead.
Moondrop 4090 Ti
thanks for the review~. Been waiting for someone to make one.
Thanks for watching!

Moonriver 2 Ti and Softears Turi Ti combo now sounds like a big flex 🗿
And periodic audio Ti titanium earphones..😂

Cuál era más sonido analógico?
I tried it and I'm glad that I bought the Cayin RU7~
ru7 better than ti?
@@SileDevil For me the RU7 is better but it also costs more.🫠
@@gogo8033sorry hi if i may ask how’s ru7 compared to moonriver 2 ti? is it significantly better, and if so in what terms?
I'm gonna wait for the moondrop Moonraker edition.
what is that???
@@karolkilian2402 that my friend is a joke.

Legend has it that Doggo is still confused as to what’s going on😂

Agree, a case would be nice for sure. Thanks for checking out the review!

Excellent overview !
Just ordered Hiby FC4. Price was 83USD delivery and tax included.
Hi, I need to know if it is compatible with IPhone 13 and the next IPhones (14,15,etc.). Please I need to know
Any difference in terms of sound between 3,5 or 4.4 ?
As always great review!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Nice review, I have one question does it have gain setting like an old one?
Great review. Do you know if the TI works with a PS5?
FIIO KA17 or this one im gonna use on PC for gaming and music i need crazy details . thanks
I like the look of the original better. Do not hate the ti but still dig the OE
i still have two moonriver 2.
first one the button on the side fell off and emailed shenzhenaudio and they just asked for a picture from email, they sent me a new one free of charge also didnt have to send the one with the button that fell off.

Hey, please suggest a portable dac for oriveti od200.
If you get a chance could you review the SHANLING UA4. It has the new ESS ES9069Q Dac chip and costs $100
Please do a review or say something about the Queen of Audio Gimlet. It's a $60 iem. But I'm hearing A LOT of good things about it
Those vs AFUL SnowyNight vs Moondrop Dawn original 4.4 ?
I just wish the FC6 had a discrete balanced out instead of the SE. Then I would jump that. Do you think it is worth owning both the BTR7 and the FC6 - is there enough of a sonic difference to match different IEMs?…
Looking at the TI vs. Dragonfly Cobalt,& the Ifi hip Dac 2,..do you have any discernible wisdom to impart?

Must agree very nice looking and sounds great. Did I see sivga Luan and will you be doing review? 👍
Yes, I will be posting it soon! Thanks for watching!
would this be able to sufficiently power the HD660S?
This or the Fiio KA5?
are you maverick watch review??
I wonder, what is the sound difference between this and something inexpensive like the 7Hz SeventyOne?
Hi i am new to headphones and dongles will this give me enough performance and power for my quad era 1 planars which are 3.5mm or would i need a 4.4mm cable , many thanks

Still plan to do a Shio review?

I'm looking to purchase my first decent DAC, currently using the Shanling UA1.
Question, what does a green light mean on this device? Mine's always showing green.
Tried to read the manual but I can't find any info.
not sure if you found out, but it means your device is on high gain.
hold both the volume up and volume down for a sec and it will be put in low gain ( at least thats how its done with the moonriver 2 original)
low gain is handy if useing low impedance handphones/iem or running low on phone battery
@@CressNess should it change in color in low gain? I already tried holding the volume buttons but it's still green.
@@feriel1216 I guess the ti version doesn't have low gain but better volume control compared to original.
I watched iiwi reviews as was wondering what changed with the dac.
Just curious do you use yours with your phone or pc/laptop, I use mine as a mix of both
@@CressNess on my phone. i rarely use it on my pc.
does your volume button rattle?
Vs Hidizs S9 Pro?

Could we get a shoot out between Cayin RU6, RU7 and Hiby FC6, please?…
does it work with pixel 7 pro
Dunu falcon ultra 👀
