The MOON MOON 350P is a high-performance differential preamplifier. Using circuitry derived from the Evolution Series,
the 350P is a modular design that accepts optional plug-in modules: (i) a 24-bit/192kHz high-performance D/A converter
with USB, optical (TosLink)and RCA (S/PDIF) inputs, and (ii) a configurable MC/MM Phono stage.
The MOON 350P's wide bandwidth and excellent dynamic range allows it to effortlessly reproduce high-resolution audio.
A well organized and thorough rear panel allows for connectivity to virtually any audio component.
For the headphone enthusiast, the 350P is engineered with a discrete headphone amplifier stage, which allows
it to effortlessly drive even the world's finest headphones. An audiophile-grade product with a toroidal tranformer-based large
power supply, military-spec passive and active components, and state-of-the-art surface-mount manufacturing techniques help make
the MOON 350P the finest affordable MOON preamplifier to date.
Since October 2012, the optional Digital-to-Analog Converter's fully asynchronous USB input is capable of 24-bit/192kHz
performance. An upgrade is available for units manufactured prior to this date.
