Moon 891 Network Player/Preamplifier

Simaudio calls the 891 the keystone of the North Collection, combining a network player, DAC, configurable MM/MC phono stage, and reference level analog preamplifier in one chassis, with each stage independently powered in a dual-mono layout.

Its MDE3 digital engine handles PCM up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD256, paired with Simaudio's M-RAY2 analog volume control and MiND 2 streaming platform, including Roon Ready, Qobuz Connect, AirPlay, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, and Bluetooth.
