MOON 260D

Second-hand. In excellent conditions. Free of visible signs of wear. Comes with remote control and original packaging.

The MOON 260D is a high-end audio solution that combines an excellent CD transport mechanism with a sophisticated digital-to-analog converter (DAC), offering an uncompromising listening experience. Thanks to its advanced technology and build quality, this device is able to reproduce music with accuracy, delivering every sonic nuance with naturalness.

One of the most distinctive features of the MOON 260D is its flexibility, making it suitable for any audio requirement. It can be used as a simple CD transport mechanism, utilizing its digital outputs to connect to an external DAC, or it can integrate an internal 32-bit DA converter for complete signal management within a single chassis. This modularity allows the device to be adapted to individual needs, leaving the option open to expand the system at a later stage.

The design of the MOON 260D is based on a proprietary CD transport mechanism, mounted on an exclusive MQuattro floating suspension support, designed to absorb vibrations and minimize mechanical interference. This system, based on an innovative gel material, ensures extremely accurate disc reading, allowing recordings to fully express their spatiality and sound depth.

On the connectivity front, the MOON 260D offers a wide range of options, making it a true digital hub. It features two digital outputs, S/PDIF and AES/EBU, as well as four digital inputs, including USB, TosLink, and two S/PDIF inputs, allowing you to connect virtually any digital source. Additionally, with the USB input featuring galvanic isolation, any potential noise from a computer or other digital sources can be eliminated, further improving sound quality.

Another noteworthy feature is the MQA pass-through functionality, which allows the player to transmit MQA-encoded data directly to the digital output. In this way, when connected to an MQA-certified DAC, the system can decode and play back high-resolution audio, fully leveraging the potential of this advanced format.

The high-quality sound of the MOON 260D is the result of meticulous design, including a 32-bit processor and a sophisticated oversampling system capable of drastically reducing jitter and improving digital reproduction accuracy. The result is a detailed, transparent, and incredibly realistic sound, capable of satisfying even the most demanding listeners.

Designed for those who want a reference CD player with exceptional performance, the MOON 260D is an ideal investment for anyone looking for a reliable, versatile solution that can evolve over time.
