The Simaudio Moon 891 features a stylish, sturdy chassis designed to reduce external vibrations that can affect sensitive internal circuits. The large rotary dial on the front panel acts as both a volume control and a navigation tool in the settings menu, rotating smoothly for ease of use. The 5-inch color OLED display on the front panel is clear and easy to read, simplifying setup.
Moon is praised for the excellent design of the included BRM-1 remote control, provided with matching products in the North Collection. While most competitors opt for a simple design, Simaudio has put a lot of effort into this elegant all-metal device, making it both aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly.
The front panel features a 5-inch color display showing volume levels, active input, and providing access to a wide range of settings. You can use the menu to adjust the built-in MOON 891 phono stage to match your cartridge. During online streaming, album covers and track metadata can be displayed on the screen.
The player comes with the elegant MOON BRM-1 remote control featuring an OLED display, touch controls, and a stylish aluminum volume control knob. For an ideal setup, Simaudio recommends pairing the Moon 891 network player/preamp with the North Collection's dual mono power amplifier 861.
This exceptional device includes new technological innovations like the Moon Damping Base - a mechanical system to suppress parasitic vibrations causing microphonic noise - and the M-RAY2 volume controller with discrete resistors and enhanced components.
