Simaudio Ltd. proudly introduces the MOON CD5.3 CD Player, our newest addition to the MOON Classic series of audio components. Improving on
technologies found in the world-reknowned MOON Eclipse CD Player and borrowing from the recently launched Evolution series SuperNova, the MOON CD 5.3
incorporates highly advanced digital and analog circuitry to produce an astounding level of sonic performance with no equal in its price range. With features such as a large and easy-to-read
display, optional balanced analog audio outputs, and a luxurious industrial build quality, the CD 5.3 will provide for many years of listening pleasure
and hassle-free use.
Significant Design Features:
Separate digital & analog power supplies using two toroidal transformers.
Eight stages of DC voltage regulation.
IR input for external control.
Internal upsampling which uses 24-bit/352.8kHz processing.
Optional balanced differential analog outputs.
Philips-based transport mechanism with in-house developed software.
BurrBrown BB1730E high-resolution 24-bit/192-kHz Digital-to-Analog Converter and 8X oversampling digital filter.
All digital and analog audio circuitry mounted on a single circuit board, each with their own respective ground plane, to minimize signal path lengths and eliminate any potential for interference and signal degradation.
Accurate 50ppm digital clocking system for exceptionally low intrinsic jitter levels.
Advanced analog signal path using a DC servo circuit and proprietary 6dB/octave analog filter.
Extremely rigid chassis design, common to Simaudio MOON components, which minimizes the effects of sonically degrading external vibrations.
Pure copper circuit board tracings with low impedance characteristics.
Accurate matching of the finest high quality electronic components.
