Moon Nova CD Player

Description

Here is a Simaudio Moon Nova CD player in very good+ condition. Plays, operates, and sounds as it should. I have been fortunate enough to live with this player for a while and I must say that it is one of the best sounding players I have had in my system. Combined with the Simaudio Moon I-5 integrated amp, it really woke up my system.
Here is info from Moon
Based on the world renown MOON Eclipse CD Player, the MOON Nova delivered "audiophile" performance in a more affordable package with an internal upsampling rate that featured 24-bit/352.8kHz processing. The MOON Nova was intended as a companion source component for the MOON i-5 integrated amplifier. Alternatively, it provided superior performance when paired with virtually any other integrated amplifier or preamplifier available. Imagine the MOON Eclipse in a single chassis with an on-board power supply, a front-loading transport mechanism and single-ended audio circuitry.
Technical aspects:
Separate digital and analog power supplies using two toroidal power transformers
Seven stages of DC voltage regulation
Philips based transport mechanism
Two precision matched 24-bit BurrBrown PCM1704-j "Digital To Analog" converters
BurrBrown DF1704 digital filter with 8X oversampling
Internal upsampling with 24-bit/352.8kHz processing
Accurate 25PPM digital clocking system

Pure copper circuit board tracings with extremely low impedance characteristics
Full-function Bi-Directional RS-232 port control and status for custom integration and automation
Separate digital and analog audio circuitry mounted on one circuit board, each with their own
respective ground planes, which minimizes signal path lengths and eliminates any potential for
interference and signal degradation
Extremely rigid chassis construction to minimize the effects of external vibrations
Accurate matching of the very finest high quality electronic components
A symmetrical circuit design
Designed to be powered up at all times for optimal performance
Low operating temperature to ensure a longer than normal life expectancy.
