Cable choice for MOON products
Renaissance Audio have worked very hard not to be in any way biased about cable choice. However, for the safety of your DC coupled MOON amplifier we would advise that you avoid the usage of 'active shielding' cables. We have now had several problems with this type of technology. We do not wish to put down this technology but advise that it is not compatible with our products.

High Resolution USB has arrived
24/192
We are pleased to announce the launch of our MOON High-Resolution USB Interface for the MOON 650D and 750D DAC / CD Transport. After months of R&D, in addition to satisfying the growing consumer demand for this practical interface, we are thrilled to provide this upgrade.
The MOON High-Resolution USB Interface can handle both 16 and 24-bit depth data, and sampling rates of 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192kHz. In other words, it is "24/192" capable. Benefiting from the 650D's and 750D's amazing jitter-reduction circuitry, this USB interface will provide ultra-high performance to users with proper associated equipment and file types.
We have also implemented several less significant but nonetheless important improvements to the digital input board, which will benefit and improve the performance of the AES/EBU, S/PDIF and TosLink inputs. The best part is that this upgrade can be implemented in the field by your MOON Authorised Dealer. In addition, you may need to install a driver on your computer to properly interface with the High-Resolution USB interface. The driver will be available on our website.
The Upgrade Option will be available as of November 1, 2011. Retail price is £925 (VAT included).
