Moon 390 Network Streamer


Still evaluating numerous DAC/Streamers and had the opportunity to listen to Moon 390 Network Streamer. Any thoughts on Moon products in general and the 390?

Recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I’ve had great results with Simaudio Moon gear.

@mahler123 Can you please share your source?

The suggestion that Simaudio is in trouble is disgraceful and unfounded. Their North collection is flying off the shelves on the back of superb reviews (and listening).

I have not heard the 390 specifically but have done with many other Moon products from the 300 series to the current mix of 600, 700 and 800 components in my system. They are unremittingly neutral with an extremely low noise floor, in other words you get exactly what is on the disc or file.

I find the Android app to be intuitive and it regularly updates seamlessly. One thing to note is that the MiND 2 unit in the 390 is the same as in the MiND 2 box and my own, much more expensive, 780D DAC. With the 390 you are getting the best they do.

Wow some really positive responses regarding the Moon 390. I'm looking forward to previewing. It was mentioned that it is fairly neutral so will I have to be very selective in cables? Currently have Kubala Sosna cables in my system. Are most of your systems all Moon or varies components? Thanks.

I owned Moon 390 and multiple Moon products. 
 

I view it as an excellent piece of equipment - I initially looked at it’s features as a streaming DAC. I replaced my McIntosh C 2600 with it and viewed it as an upgrade.

Lots of excellent equipment out there and I wouldn’t look past the 390 without listening to it. 

I have a 280d and its really good. You will like the 390. Not sure why someone would say they might not be in business much longer. I would love to see a source / article you read stating that they are biting the dust...
