MOON CLASSIC SERIES
Updated: August 2, 2005
Nova CD Player
|
|
Also available with silver faceplate
|
|
|
Based on the world reknown MOON Eclipse CD Player, the MOON Nova delivers "audiophile"
performance in a more affordable package with an internal upsampling rate that features
24-bit/352.8kHz processing. The MOON Nova is intended as a companion source
component for the MOON i-5 integrated amplifier. Alternatively, it will provide superior
performance when paired with virtually any other integrated amplifier or preamplifier
available. Imagine the MOON Eclipse in a single chassis with an on-board power supply, a
front-loading transport mechanism and single-ended audio circuitry.
