MOON CLASSIC SERIES
Eclipse Differential CD Player
|
|
|
Extensive research and development led to the creation of the MOON Eclipse CD Player,
a world-class component built for both the present and the future. This achievement was
realized through the implementation of the very finest electronic components available for
the established 16-bit/44.1kHz red-book standard by using four 24-bit DACs with an 8X
oversampling digital filter in a fully balanced differential circuit. The result is an
internal upsampling rate that features 24-bit/352.8kHz processing. Down the
road, whichever digital format becomes the industry accepted standard, the MOON Eclipse
CD Player will allow for the neccesary upgrade path.
