Headroom Notes
Moondrop publishes a voltage per jack and no power at any load, so what the Dawn Pro does into 32 ohms is unknown: the 2 V figure is a no-load level and the current limit is not stated anywhere. Everything else on the sheet is measured with no load too — THD+N is qualified no load explicitly. For IEMs that is enough; for a 250-ohm headphone the missing number is the one that decides.
What the datasheet actually says
Quoted verbatim from the manufacturer’s own page, with the date we checked it. We state what is printed, not what anyone intended by it.
«Line Output: 4.4mm: 4Vrms / 3.5mm: 2Vrms»
The Dawn Pro has no line outputs — its only analogue sockets are the 3.5 mm and 4.4 mm headphone jacks, and the row headed Line Output describes those. No load is named, and the sheet publishes no output power at any impedance, so the figure is an unloaded level rather than a drive rating. Two other Moondrop rows on the same page do name their condition (AES17 20 kHz for noise, no load for THD+N), which makes the omission here visible.
