Simaudio/MOON

Simaudio/MOON has become renowned for producing some of the finest, warmest, and most involving analog and digital components in the industry. Up until now, their analog and digital products have been quite separate, except for the ACE all-in-one music player and DAC boards which have been available as plug-ins for some of their analog products. Now they have produced their first analog integrated amplifier with a complete suite of digital inputs, and they have done it at an entry level price of only $2100! Welcome the MOON 240i.

This is the entry-level, modern integrated you have been waiting for. With connectivity accented on digital audio (up to 24-bit/352.8kHz and DSD256), as well as a plethora of analog line-level inputs, plus a phono input, the 240i can easily become the one-box centerpiece (both amplifier and control center) of your music and entertainment system.

The 240i features full external control (Control4 driver available), an OLED front-panel display, amazing user-configurability to customize its features for your specific needs, and an unexpectedly powerful 50 watts per channel that allow the 240i to drive even inefficient and complex, low-impedance speaker loads without difficulty. As you would expect, the sound quality is all MOON: organic and detailed, with exceptionally well-controlled and tuneful bass that is coupled with a wide and airy soundstage. In a nutshell, music comes alive. This product is the perfect example of how a very high-end manufacturer uses the knowledge gained in its flagship designs to bring exceptional sound to music lovers on a budget.
