The Moon North Collection 791 Stereo Preamp/Network Streamer

is an extraordinary device that goes beyond the capabilities of a typical preamp. This cutting-edge analog preamplifier combines a high-end phono stage and streaming DAC, representing the pinnacle of audio technology. The North Collection from Moon marks their first foray into new releases in quite some time, further emphasizing their dedication to quality and supported by an impressive ten-year guarantee. This collection introduces an entirely fresh lineup of products, starting with the Moon 791. Unlike mere iterations, these devices have been meticulously crafted from the ground up, showcasing Moon's commitment to innovation. The Moon 791 network player/preamp boasts an array of features, including seven digital inputs (including HDMI ARC), three analog inputs, and two outputs that can be independently configured for variable or fixed volume control. Its MDE2 technology incorporates a re-clocking FPGA and flagship DAC, enabling support for resolutions up to 32/384 and DSD256. Additionally, the 791 can accommodate a USB drive and includes the Roon Ready MiND2 network player, ensuring compatibility with Bluetooth and AirPlay 2. Notably, the device also incorporates a "super quiet" phono preamp that caters to both moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges, offering real-time configuration via the intuitive menu system. Galvanic isolation effectively separates the digital and analog domains, further enhancing performance and minimizing interference.

The Moon BRM-1 remote control, a sophisticated inclusion, combines intelligent Bluetooth technology with the exquisite Moon volume knob, pioneering touch controls, visual feedback, and opulent refinement. Crafted with utmost attention to detail, it exudes a remarkable build quality and is meticulously calibrated to uphold the renowned precision of Moon, guaranteeing flawless performance. Moreover, the BRM-1 operates flawlessly without the need for line-of-sight interaction, providing seamless convenience.
