Introduction
Moon by Sim Audio 260D CD Transport with optional DAC
Like two products in one: CD player and standalone DAC
- A true high-performance, high-end, affordable digital product that meets current and future needs. The MOON 260D CD transport with an optional 32-bit DAC is the next evolutionary step in combining high-performance, useful features, CD playback and music streaming all into one chassis
Highly flexible
- The MOON 260D provides superb flexibility because it is a CD Transport and a DAC all-in-one. Thanks to its 32-bit processing engine, upsampling capabilities, hallmark MOON oversized power supplies and elaborate analogue stages, the 260D‘s sonic performance is without equal in its price category. The DAC section is entirely optional, whereby you can easily add it later on, if not needed right now.
MQA pass-through
- The MOON 260D CD Transport features an “MQA pass-through” capability. The MQA-encoded data on the disc will be outputted on the digital output such that an MQA-certified DAC will decode it and give you the full performance that MQA offers.
Design features
- Proprietary CD drive system mounted on our M-Quattro gel-based 4-point floating suspension for vibration damping, allowing ambient and spatial cues in your recordings to come to life like never before.
- Two (2) digital outputs – S/PDIF and AES/EBU.
- True 32-bit asynchronous Digital-to-Analog converter.
- Digital inputs (S/PDIF x 2, TosLink x 1) allow for a connection to virtually any digital source.
