A true high-performance, high-end, affordable digital product that meets current and future needs. The MOON 260D CD transport with 32-bit DAC is the next evolutionary step in combining high-performance, useful features, CD playback and music streaming (add a MiND2).

The MOON 260D provides superb flexibility as a result of it being a CD Transport and a DAC all-in-one. Thanks to its 32-bit processing engine, upsampling capabilities, hallmark MOON oversized power supplies and elaborate analog stages, the 260D‘s sonic performance is without equal in its price category. The DAC features a fully balanced output for connection to your amplifier.

… if you’re among those who still enjoy their discs, the Simaudio Moon Neo 260D will do a smashingly good job of turning those ones and zeros into tuneful, toe-tapping, tantalisingly compelling music. And if you need a supremely good DAC as well, the 260D’s got you covered there, too.
