The important stuff

The Moondrop Discdream 2 is a portable CD player for when you want to put an album on and just listen, with no screen, no notifications and no algorithm picking the next track. It plays CD, CD-R and CD-RW for about 9 hours on a charge, drives earphones from its 3.5 mm output, and doubles as a USB DAC for your laptop or phone when the CDs go back on the shelf.
