MOON 390 details
Simaudio has basically combined the functionality of the award-winning MOON 350P preamplifier and MOON 380D DAC with the latest high-end streaming architecture. This hands the MOON 390 a host of analogue and digital connection possibilities to suit, no matter how you play your music. In fact, you get no fewer than 7 audio inputs (digital and analogue), an additional 4 HDMI ports, and 4 sets of audio outputs.
Furthermore, you will get an outstanding high-resolution streaming experience through music services such as Tidal Masters, Qobuz Sublime+ and Deezer Hi-Fi. This is pretty much guaranteed as 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.
Finally, the MOON 390 is packing the latest MiND 2 streaming module. MiND 2 (MOON intelligent Network Device) allows the playback of all the most common file formats. Those formats include DSD and MQA (via local files and TIDAL Master files). It also boasts a USB host port, so that you can access music on USB thumb drives. Moreover, it will also stream any digital or analogue input of the 390 to other MiND 2 zones on the same network.
