Awards & Reviews
HiFi and Music Source, October 2016
Manufacturer
The Moon Audio Neo ACE is audio’s Swiss Army Knife – even though it’s made in Canada. This all-in-one amplifier-meets-media player is on the very cutting edge of ‘now’ technology, a product that would have been impossible 10 years ago and unthinkable 10 years before that. Yet it’s a product with legs long enough to think it still a going concern 10 years from now, and that’s something that is not easy to suggest in today’s fast-moving digital audio world.
