Simaudio just introduced the MOON Neo 260D CD Transport with optional digital-to-analog converter, which offers 32-bit processing engine, upsampling capabilities, oversized power supplies and elaborate analog stages. The DAC section, entirely optional, can easily be added later on.
For music enthusiasts who simply want to play their CD’s, the Neo 260D is the perfect solution. Borrowing much of its technology from the more exotic and costlier Evolution series 650D, while incorporating the latest advancements in digital audio, the 260D extracts every last musical detail from the disc. Adding the 32-bit DAC allows for direct streaming of music from your computer, enjoying satellite movie channels with the audio fidelity of your music system and listening to Blu-Ray movies with the same fervor as your music collection. The Neo 260D is destined to provide for many years of musical enjoyment and total satisfaction.
