CD Player DAC and Transport

A true high-performance, high-end, affordable digital product that meets current and future needs. The MOON 260D CD transport with 32-bit DAC is the next evolutionary step in combining high-performance, useful features, CD playback and music streaming (add a MiND2).

The MOON 260D provides superb flexibility as a result of it being a CD Transport and a DAC all-in-one. Thanks to its 32-bit processing engine, upsampling capabilities, hallmark MOON oversized power supplies and elaborate analog stages, the 260D‘s sonic performance is without equal in its price category. The DAC features a fully balanced output for connection to your amplifier.

As a CD Transport the MOON 260DT features “MQA pass-through” capability. The MQA encoded data on the disc will be outputted on the digital output such that an MQA certified DAC will decode it and give you the full performance that MQA offers.


Standard finishes:

  • Black

  • Two Tone

… if you’re among those who still enjoy their discs, the Simaudio Moon Neo 260D will do a smashingly good job of turning those ones and zeros into tuneful, toe-tapping, tantalisingly compelling music. And if you need a supremely good DAC as well, the 260D’s got you covered there, too.
