Moondrop is famous for their headphones (and their waifus), but now they're dipping their toes in the competitive mobile phone market with the new Moondrop MIAD01. With budget specs and a great port selection, has Moondrop hit it out of the park on their first try or is the biggest draw to the phone the cute girl on the box?

this is a bit commendable because this the first audiophile portable that is finally a smartphone whereas existing similar products pretend it can't be a smartphone e.g. no modem and cameras. however, this exposes the awkwardness of high end audio industry, it has been good enough for a decade or two already-the average music listener these days just want convenience like lossy music formats and wireless speakers

The part about Linus not really noticing a difference about balanced output or (4.4mm) at 9:30 is because Balanced output usually only provides more power (volume), The audio quality should be equal given the amplifier isn't designed in a way where the single ended or (3.5mm) output is poorly integrated and has a significant measurable difference.

Doesn't balanced reduce crosstalk since it doesn't have a common ground?
@Artoria858 10 күн бұрын
@@pixels_per_inch Hello good question, balanced connections are useful for applications where you want the least amount of noise or distortion possible (this includes cross talk), such as a microphone. Or connecting a dac, to an amplifier. However in headphones these benefits won’t be noticeable, either due to the length of the wire, or well the distortion of headphone being much more than the electronics. To put it simply most of the benefits of balanced won’t be humanly audible on headphones, if your amplifier chain on single ended is already past the human threshold. Which nowadays even an apple dongle can surpass. The main benefit of balanced connections is differential, which allows an amplifier to provide much more power to a headphone making it subjectively sound better to most people.

Balanced *literally* sounds the same. It's for effectively driving higher impedance headphones, usually on lower power devices. If you're using a dedicated DAC then a balanced port is probably moot anyway. It's more for peace of mind that power delivery/impedance is not the bottleneck in your system. Balanced is like 50% actually does a thing, 50% snake oil.

I've swapped from my Samsung Galaxy Zfold 3 to this phone about a month ago, other than the camera (the sensor is fine but the software is awful, getting a new camera app makes it actually pretty good) I've been enjoying this phone a lot. I used to carry my phone and an external DAC and now with just this im having a far better time. Yes, there are a few weirdness things to get used to with no true google support, but if you are a tech nerd enough to be looking at this phone, you have the know how enough to make it work. I'd be happy to recommend this phone to anyone who wants to enjoy a DAP experience without having to carry 2 devices.

@@odeiraoloap No, it doesn't "just so happen to have a balanced output", it "just so happens" to have a dual CS43131 a great DAC used in a lot of portable dac/amp like the dawn pro or the DC04 pro as opposed to stuff like the xperia 1VI which either just has the basic built in dac from its snapdragon chip (which happens to be garbo) or some equally bad chip. The only phone that could compete with what moondrop is putting on the table was an LG phone with their quad DAC. Edit: Also while I like dankpods as much as the next guy, he's mostly just an entertainment youtuber that talks about audio, expressing the output of something in watts is pretty meaningless. Also also you're comparing a $1700 piece of tech dedicated to audio to a $400 phone that also does audio.

I agree in general but I get as well that it can be weird to a more general audience. Of course, Moondrop has a more nerdy buyer base than average, and there is some correlation between nerds, Chinese, and liking anime, but still. If you have to explain that a lot of anime are set during highschool, and the cultural significance of highschool life in Japan, hence why tame illustrations tend to be highschool girls, you're already way beyond what most people are willing to even care to listen to.
