In Reply to: RE: MOON by Simaudio NÄ“o 280D MiND posted by oldmkvi on November 30, 2016 at 11:14:37
I've hesitated to post because I have not listened to the 280D. But the couple of times that I have listened to music through a Moon DAC it has been some of the best sound I have heard.
I couldn't tell you model numbers or associated equipment and such like that. I can only say that they always left a very positive impression on me like few components have.
If I was in the market for a DAC and had the budget for the 280D I would make sure that at the very least I demoed it and with regards to my experience with Moon DACs I'd probably take a chance a get one even without an audition.
Cheers,
Scott

Thanks! The local dealer has a return/restocking fee, so while it could cost me some to return it, I wouldn't be stuck with it.
It has the usual 2 V output, while the Mytek Brooklyn is around 5V, same as 192/DSD Dac, which I don't really like very much.
Also Brooklyn would benefit from after market DC power supply, more $.
I don't know what else there is at $2000+ to audition that would be better and have 4x DSD.
Exasound is $3500...
Yeah, I think the MiND streamer really puts the 280D at the head of the class. I hope you get a chance to check it out.
Beyond great sound and function Moon components really have great build quality as well as a great warranty.
Cheers,
Scott
I've always been a fan of Simaudio digital, but when MIND came out it was feature-poor. Now, in the latest version, they finally have Tidal and on-device storage of the playlist/queue. Those were two must-haves for me. The 380D also has a good quality volume control, making it a candidate to replace my Linn.
