Just get a 230/110 step down transformer - no effect upon sound quality! I'd be leery of any so-called "improvements" being touted by Bernard!
Simaudio, MOON, Neo MiND
Ok so I just purchased a Simaudio MOON, MiND network streamer and the ninny who sold it to me failed to mention that it was built for the Asian market and is 230V. Spoke to Bernard at MOON and he had a whole host of upgrades and such he wants to sell me as well as the 120V conversation. Biggest question, HOW WELL does this thing perform? I primarily stream from Tidal and now Quobuz. Bought the component inexpensively so can toss a few dollars more at it but want to hear what people think of it. It's literally in brand new condition with boxes & paperwork, etc so, a nice find perhaps? Is it an upgrade from Node 2i other than in I tail price? I want it to be a winner as it's a stand alone streamer and I have a wonder DAC I'm very happy with. System consists of, Cary CAD 808r tube amp, Manley Shrimp preamp, Line Magnetic 502ca DAC, MIT Terminator interconnects & speaker lines. Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated. Shared experience would be best. TY

He will have the Simaudio techs change the internal transformer and bring it to NA spec for a couple hundred + shipping to & from MA to Montreal. We have common friends up there so he offered to do the switchover for the "right" price. I don't want or need the model 2 mods (I don't think) as I really just stream. No storage of hi-res files of any kind. Mostly an LP kinda guy anyway. Just hoping to learn more about it and what people have paired it with successfully. It's sitting in a box right now staring at me wondering what it's doing so far from home, lol. |
The Mind 2 player is a wonderful piece of equipment. Work with Roon, Tidal, Spotify, Qbiz, ….. look here for full specs. https://simaudio.com/en/product/mind2-network-player/ |
