The MOON Equinox CD Player is housed in a rigid trapezoidal shaped chassis to diffuse mechanical resonances. Operating with an internal upsampling rate using 24-bit/352.8kHz processing in conjunction with an audiophile grade transport, a toroidal transformer based power supply and a military-specification FR4 glass epoxy circuit board, the MOON Equinox yields world-class sonic performance at a relatively affordable price. Based on the aesthetics of the globally renowned MOON Eclipse and the audio circuitry of the MOON Nova CD Players, the MOON Equinoxrepresents the culmination of over 5 years of in-house research and development into digital audio playback. Featuring a large proprietary display read-out, the MOON Equinox offers great ergonomics and superb ease-of-use. Intended as a companion source component for the MOON i-3 integrated amplifier, The MOON Equinox will provide superior performance when paired with virtually any other integrated amplifier or preamplifier available. Separate digital and analog power supplies with seven stages of DC voltage regulation - Philips based transport mechanism using in-house developed control software - BurrBrown BB1730E 24-bit/192kHz DACs and 8X oversampling digital filter - Internal upsampling with 24-bit/352.8kHz processing - Accurate 50PPM digital clocking system - A capacitor-free signal path using a DC servo circuit and proprietary 6dB/octave analog filter - Pure copper circuit board tracings with extremely low impedance characteristics - Short signal paths to eliminate any potential for interference and sonic degradation - 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.

The MOON i-3 integrated amplifier combines numerous technologies found in our separate preamplifiers and amplifiers. Producing a maximum continuous power output rating of 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 160 watts into 4 ohms, the MOON i-3 comes in a rigid chassis featuring six line-level inputs including a user-configurable "home-theater ready" input and a preamplifier output, audiophile-grade 5-way binding posts and a military-specification FR4 glass epoxy circuit board. The MOON i-3 represents an affordable alternative to the award winning MOON i-5, providing breakthrough sonic performance at a modest price level, in yet a simple and elegant physical package. An oversized power supply - A custom proprietary toroidal transformer design with lower magnetic, electrical and thermal loss, yielding an improved power transfer and lower regulation factor, resulting in increased current speed and better dynamics - An extremely short capacitor-free signal path measuring 18.5 inches in length from input RCA's to output binding posts, eliminating virtually all potential sources of interference and producing a sonically faster transient response - Gain section using a Crystal microprocessor functioning as a "shunt to ground" that doesn't degrade sonic performance regardless of the setting - One single-ended audio input which bypasses the gain stage to accomodate a component, such as home-theatre processor, whose own volume control is used instead - Amplifier section using a "no overall feedback" design resulting in real-time amplification, more accurate musical reproduction with respect to tonality, virtually non-existent intermodulation distortion and the elimination of com- mon phase errors resulting from feedback - "Class A" output power to five watts for greater efficiency - Precision-matched Bipolar output devices which offer superb linearity throughout the entire audio frequency spectrum - A symmetrical circuit design - Accurate matching of the high quality electronic components - Pure copper circuit board tracings with extremely low impedance characteristics - Improved reliability through the elimination of moving parts - Designed to be powered up at all times for optimal performance - Low operating temperature for a longer than normal life expectancy.
