A bit more detail on the product the MOON streaming platform lives within… the MOON 390 is a unit of the future, yet can still allow a gramophone to be used. The release follows:
The gateway to great sound – Simaudio’s new MOON 390 Network Player / Preamplifier offers a complete high-end listening solution. Featuring a DAC, preamplifier, headphone amplifier, phono stage and network streaming capability, the MOON 390 is a truly flexible music system. Simply connect it to a power amplifier or active loudspeakers to hear an exceptional audio performance. Simaudio has built upon its heritage of outstanding audio products by combining the functionality of the award-winning MOON 350P preamplifier and MOON 380D DAC with the latest high-end streaming architecture to create the MOON 390. With a host of analogue and digital connection possibilities, no matter how you play your music, the MOON 390 will reveal astonishing levels of detail.
The MOON 390 is designed to deliver an outstanding high-resolution streaming experience through music services such as Tidal Masters, Qobuz Sublime+ and Deezer Hi-Fi. The DAC architecture supports PCM (up to 32-bit/384kHz), DSD (up to DSD256) and is MQA certified.
It is also Roon Ready and has Bluetooth aptX connectivity. The MOON 390 features the new MiND 2 streaming module. MiND 2 (MOON intelligent Network Device) is a fabulous way of streaming and listening to your music. MiND 2 allows the playback of all the most common file formats, including DSD and MQA (via local files and TIDAL Master files). The MiND 2 also boasts a USB host port, permitting access to music on USB thumb drives. Finally, MiND 2 will also stream any digital or analog input of the 390 to other MiND 2 zones on the same network.
