Moon 780D

De Moon 780D streaming DAC:

“Understated, yes, but it’s one of the best network players around.”

Andrew Everard – Hifi News & Record Review

Om geheel op te kunnen gaan in de emotionele kracht van muziek is een gevoel dat men moet ervaren om het volledig te begrijpen. De 780D herdefinieert deze ervaring door het naar een geheel nieuw niveau te brengen.

Hoe? Door het gebruik van een volledig gebalanceerd dual-mono ontwerp met twee DAC chips, ieder met 16 unieke DAC circuits, dat vrijwel alle digitale audioformaten kunnen decoderen (maximaal DSD quad en PCM 32-bits / 384kHz). De nieuwe Moon 780D zal een ongekende dynamiek en detail ontketenen waarvan u nooit had gedacht dat het uit uw digitale audio bestanden te halen was .

“The grand illusion here is that while the 780D v2 doesn’t seem to be doing much, and its sound won’t shake you to the core on first exposure, extended listening reveals its true maturity, resolution and power.”

Andrew Everard – Hifi News & Record Review

Onder de vele en gevarieerde digitale ingangen is de Mind (MOON intelligente Network Device) netwerk-speler die het mogelijk maakt voor DSD streaming over ethernet, evenals de toegang tot o.a.de Tidal en Qobuz muziekdienst; een toegangspoort tot de grootste online bibliotheek van ongecomprimeerde en high resolution muziek. Andere interne functies omvatten onze MOON Hybrid Power (MHP): een nieuw, ultra-high performance voeding en een modulair ontwerp om te helpen deze revolutionaire DAC zo toekomstbestendig mogelijk te maken.

Specificaties

Specifications

Nine (9) digital inputs include USB (hi-res audio), AES/EBU, SPDIF (x3), Optical (x2), aptX® Bluetooth®, Ethernet/Wi-Fi.

Supports native DSD up to DSD256 (USB only) and PCM up to 384kHz (32-bit on USB only)

Built-in MiND network streaming player includes TIDAL Music Service

DSD Streaming over Ethernet via MiND and USB

Fully balanced differential digital and analog circuitry in a dual-mono design

Femto second clock (vs. Pico second clock where 1 pico-second = 1000 femto-seconds): The result is much lower jitter – 150 femto-seconds (less than 1/6 of a pico-second) – and therefore lower distortion.

There is one DAC chip per channel running in mono mode for a true dual-mono design; each of these two DAC chips are programmed to process a single channel for the best possible sonic performance, whereby each chip contains 16 individual DAC circuits which provides for 8 differential mode DAC circuits.

On-board programmable software for customization of the end-user interface.

MHP (MOON Hybrid Power) is a “High Performance Universal (Power Supply” using conductive polymer capacitors, high speed digital switching and analog linear regulators post stages (non-switch mode) for ultra stable and exceptionally low noise DC output

2 stages of our M-LoVo (MOON Low Voltage) DC regulation circuit; a highly sophisticated circuit that is virtually free of noise, yielding an exceptionally fast, precise, and stable DC voltage. The result is a power supply with a virtually unmeasureable noise floor

Power supply voltage regulation includes i²DCf (Independent Inductive DC Filtering); There is one inductor dedicated to each integrated circuit type component (DAC, Op-Amp, etc.) in the audio circuit’s signal path; 4 stages in all

SimLink™ controller port for 2-way communications with other compatible MOON components

IR input for external control

RS-232 port for (i) full unsolicited bidirectional feedback and (ii) firmware updates

A very short capacitor-free signal path using a DC servo circuit and proprietary 18dB/octave analog filter

Fully compatible with the 820S external power supply.

4-Layer printed circuit boards with pure copper tracings for a much shorter signal path; This results in greater sonic accuracy and a dramatically improved signal-to-noise ratio

Ultra rigid chassis construction to minimize the effects of external vibrations

Accurate matching of the very finest quality electronic components in a symmetrical circuit design

Includes the FRM-3 remote control
