PS audio or Moon

Interesting 

Thanks guys.  It does seem that moon is better for streaming.  PS admittedly doesnt have the best streaming interface.  Id  be ok with that if the dac and pre are superior. Biggest obstacle w the moon for me is price. 

The 390 is nice.  Build quality on Sim Audio/ Moon is very high.   Really nice stuff

Don't bark at the Moon man!

I’m a huge Moon fan….  Great product and value. 

If you live a Moon dealer you can also try to obtain a factory refurbished one from folks who trade up. Likely 75% of MSRP 

I traded in my BRYSTON BDP-USB/ BDA-2 duo stack on a MOON 280D MIND2 …it’s that good . Its build quality , digital interface, and audio performance is top-shelf … it requires an OEM recommended 400 hrs to fully run-in. (But the MIND2 current version already sounds fab out of the box,).

BIG BONUS: Upgrade path and warranty

If you bought from a dealer,

(1) Upgrade Option Going forward

TAKEAWAY:

yep … any new MOON isn’t cheap, but you are stepping up to top-shelf best of and breed unit stratus , In this hobby, you get what you pay for.
