260DT
Disc Player
The MOON 260D CD Transport outputs the best possible PCM stream from your CD to your chosen DAC and also features “MQA pass-through” capability. The MQA encoded data on the disc will be outputted on the digital output such that an MQA certified DAC will decode it and give you the full performance that MQA offers.
The optional 32-bit DAC section can easily be added later on. Thanks to its 32-bit processing engine, upsampling capabilities, hallmark MOON oversized power supplies and elaborate analogue 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.
