MOON Nova CD Player Updated: August 2, 2005    

 

Also available with black 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.
 
 


 
 
  Significant Design Features:
 
· Separate digital and analog power supplies using two toroidal power transformers
· Seven stages of DC voltage regulation
· Philips based transport mechanism
· Two precision matched 24-bit BurrBrown PCM1704-j "Digital To Analog" converters
· BurrBrown DF1704 digital filter with 8X oversampling
