MOON 791

The MOON 791 is a preamplifier that exceeds expectations, combining a high-quality phono stage with a streaming DAC, all wrapped in a state-of-the-art analog preamplifier. Its rich array of features is only surpassed by its exceptional build quality and extraordinary sound performance.

This device offers a wide range of connection options, including seven digital inputs, including HDMI ARC, three analog inputs, and two independently configurable outputs for variable or fixed volume. The technological heart of the MOON 791 is its MDE2, a re-clocking FPGA paired with a high-end DAC capable of supporting resolutions up to 32-bit/384 kHz and DSD256. Additionally, the 791 is equipped with a USB port and the Roon Ready MiND2 network player, which supports Bluetooth and AirPlay 2, further expanding its usage possibilities.

The phono preamp of the MOON 791 is designed to support both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges, with real-time configuration easily adjustable through an intuitive menu system.

The upgrade to the acclaimed M-VOL3 (third generation of the MOON volume control) takes electronic gain control to a level of sublime precision, while the 4.3" color display and BRM-1 remote control make interaction with the device simple and refined.
