The Moon by Simaudio 430HAD is a high quality headphone amplifier at an affordable price, which has won acclaim and is widely regarded as the best headphone amplifier in the world. DSD files? Of course it plays them, either native or in x2 and even x4 format (DSD256). Do you prefer PCM format? Yes, it also supports them up to 32-bit/384kHz levels. What about power? 1.000 mW per channel at 50 ohms.
Remote control, analogue inputs and also preamp outputs so you can integrate the 430HAD as such into your sound system. The sound shows impressive dynamics, just the right tonality. Clean, muscular, organic and musical are the words it inspires. This is a device built with good materials that guarantee it a long operating life, so that the user enjoys hours, hours and hours of music played in enormous quality.
Features:
- Analogue Crossfeed circuitry can be bypassed for greater "spatialisation" and listening comfort.
- Balanced outputs hidden behind a sliding window on the front panel (2 x 3-pin XLR, 1 x 4-pin XLR) as well as a 6.3 mm jack, both with fixed and variable line signal level.
- Large power supply with 2 toroidal transformers in conjunction with 8 stages of DC voltage regulation.
- 4 stages with M-LoVo (Moon Low Voltage) regulation circuitry, a highly sophisticated, virtually noise-free circuit that produces an exceptionally fast, accurate and stable DC voltage. The result is a power supply inherited from the evolution series with a practically negligible noise level.
- M-eVOL2 volume control circuit with MDAC (operates in R-2R direction), which produces no sonic signal degradation.
- 4 line inputs (3 single-ended, 1 balanced) including a front 3.5 mm jack socket for media players.
- Integrated DAC converter with 4 digital inputs (S/PDIF x 2, TosLink x 1 and USB x 1) supporting up to DSD256 (via USB), PCM 16/44.4 Hz to 24/192 Hz (on all inputs) and up to PCM 32/384 kHz (via USB).
- 12 volt output for remote operation.
- Infrared input for external control.
- CRM-2 remote control (included).
- RS-232 port for bi-directional feedback and firmware upgrades.
- Simlink™ controller port for 2-way communications with other compatible components Moon.
- Optimised selection of high quality components.
- Ultra-rigid chassis capable of minimising the effects of external vibration.
- Dimensions: 429 x 89 x 351 mm (W, H, D).
