VIEWMoon by Simaudio 390 High-End Network Player / Preamplifier with MiND2Item Code: 390The MOON 390 is a multi-function crossover type product that has the function of a modern network player, DAC, preamplifier, headphone amplifier, and phono stage. Roughly, it combines the feature set of both older model 350P and 380D and adds further. Another point of view: it can be seen as an All-in-One without a power amplifier. Still, it will be pricier than Moon's All-in-One ACE as it is of a higher pedigree and higher performance level. The 390 was the first new product to benefit from MiND 2 streamer technology.
Please note, the listed price of £6,150 is for the version that does not feature HDMI ports. The version with HDMI ports retails at £6,900.
