The Moon North Collection 891 Stereo Preamp/Network Streamer

is the cornerstone of the Moon North Collection that brings unparalleled levels of performance, features, and craftsmanship. As the flagship network player/preamp of the new collection, the Moon 891 leverages the MiND2 streaming platform to deliver an immersive audio experience and extract the finest nuances from digital music files. Seamlessly integrating local libraries and Internet streaming services, the MiND Controller app for iOS and Android offers comprehensive control, while AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, and TIDAL Connect support provide enhanced connectivity options in a Roon Ready solution. The MDE3 digital engine harnesses the power of dual-mono 32-bit converters with femtosecond clocking, unlocking the true potential of all two-channel digital audio formats, including PCM, MQA, and DSD, through a versatile array of digital inputs. Additionally, the Moon 891 features a high-performance phono preamplifier capable of accommodating both moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges, with real-time configuration options. Enhancing its performance further, the 891 incorporates the new MOON Damping Base, a mechanical system that effectively suppresses microphonic noise caused by parasitic vibrations. This feature includes an aluminum base placed on a specialized gel. The M-RAY2 volume control, equipped with discrete tin film resistors at 0.1% quality tolerance and improved components, adds to the overall refinement of the 891. 

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.
