Both are dongles, $75 against $190. This page puts them side by side on the only three things a maker can be held to — power, output impedance and noise — and then asks the question that actually matters: which headphones do they treat differently?
The Moondrop Moonriver 2 Ti reaches 100 dB on 565 of the 567 models here, the Moondrop Dawn Pro on 561.
| Specification | Moondrop Dawn Pro | Moondrop Moonriver 2 Ti |

| Power into 32Ω | 125 mW | 280 mW |
| Power into 150Ω | 27 mW | 79 mW |
| Power into 300Ω | 13 mW | 53 mW |
| Power into 600Ω | 6.7 mW | 26 mW |
| Output impedance | 0.3 Ω unverified | not published |
| Output noise | 1.5 µV | 1.5 µV |
| Price | $75 | $190 |
| Headphones it reaches 100 dB on out of 567 | 561 | 565 |
A figure marked not published is missing from the maker’s own material, which is not the same as being good or bad. Where one of these two publishes a number and the other does not, the comparison on that axis cannot be made at all — and saying so is more useful than guessing.
4 headphones reach 100 dB on the Moondrop Moonriver 2 Ti but not on the Moondrop Dawn Pro — Moondrop COSMO, Symphonium Crimson, Symphonium Helios, 1 more.
561 of the 567 models here reach 100 dB on both. That is a power count and nothing more; whether either source suits a given headphone also depends on the two lines above.
Each has a page of its own with every power figure traced to what the maker published and a full headphone list: Moondrop Dawn Pro and Moondrop Moonriver 2 Ti. Or put either against your own headphones in the source comparison tool.
