The MOON SuperNova CD Player is a fully-balanced differential design, representing the next
generation of high-performance audio components. The SuperNova raises the bar on the CD
Red Book digital standard, producing an astonishing level of sonic performance with no equal in its price range. This achievement is the result
of extensive R&D yielding new proprietary technologies, the use of the very finest electronic parts available and a powerful 24-bit/352.8kHz
internal upsampling circuit. Further raising the bar, the MOON SuperNova can be fully
integrated into a custom-install environment via an RS-232 port. As well, a plethora of user selectable cosmetic options are available at
the time of purchase.

Significant Design Features:
· Internal upsampling which uses 24-bit/352.8kHz processing
· Ultra high-perfromance 24-bit BurrBrown PCM1798 DAC/digital filter
· Full unsolicited RS-232 bidirectional feedback
· Separate digital & analog power supplies using 2 independant toroidal transformers
· Digital input for use as a digital-to-analog converter with a music server or external transport
· SimLink controller port for 2-way communications with other compatible MOON components
· Power supply voltage regulation includes i²DCf (Independant Inductive DC Filtering); There is
one inductor dedicated to each integrated circuit type component (DAC, Op-Amp, etc.) in the
audio circuit’s signal path - 20 stages in all
· MOON Alpha Clocking System with PLL synchronization yielding 25 PPM of jitter
· A proprietary 6db/octave analog filter
· 4-Layer PCB’s with pure copper tracings for a much shorter signal path; This results in
greater sonic accuracy and a dramatically improved signal-to-noise ratio
· Ultra rigid chassis construction to minimize the effects of external vibrations
· Accurate matching of the very finest quality electronic components in a symmetrical circuit design
· Designed to be powered up at all times for optimal performance
· Includes FRM-2 remote control.

Overseas MOON SuperNova RS
The RS series of MOON audio components benefit from an even higher standard
of manufacturing process than the regular MOON versions. All significant differences are contained within the circuitry and construction
of each model.
RS versions are built using different materials and parts in certain areas. For example, printed
circuit boards are of a higher temperature grade than that of the military specification FR-4 material we normally use; Their traces are gold-plated
instead of a tin/lead composite. As well, all capacitors use improved dielectric materials.
MOON RS models meet and/or exceed stricter manufacturing processes as required to pass many international
safety standards such as those imposed by the E-U, Japan and South Korea. Cosmetically, the ONLY difference is the RS
logo on the front panel.
