Simaudio MOON 100D

General Information

The MOON 100D Digital-to-Analog Converter accepts USB, S/PDIF and TosLink inputs. Intended for use with a computer via the USB input, the remaining inputs allow for interfacing with other source components such as a music server, digital transport, etc. All digital input signals are processed through an asynchronous sample rate converter and then 24-bit DACs.

The 100D is housed in a compact chassis constructed of rigid aluminium and features a 1/4” brushed and anodized faceplate. Don't be deceived by its small footprint since trickle-down technology dominates, thanks in no small part to its larger sibling, the 300 D ... Amazing things do come in small packages.

Using 24-bit/1.411MHz processing, the MOON 100D will faithfully reproduce your digital music in an effortless fashion. Accepting an input signal from 44.1 to 192kHz with a bit-depth range from 16 to 24-bits, jitter is a virtual non-issue thanks to the asynchronous operation of this DAC. Sonically, it portrays all of the Simaudio hallmarks: clean, powerful, fast, extended bass combined with an open midrange and airy extended high frequencies.

Hi,

I am new here. I am looking for advice regarding Simaudio Moon DACs. Are there any experts around here?

I have been using a Moon 100 D DAC for years. I really like the musicality and the typical Moon sound signature. Unfortunately I recently gave a cheap 100 USD DAC, which I bought for my TV, a try and it turned out that in many aspects (cleanliness, accuracy, details) the new cheap DAC is better. But IT is not musical at all. Overall I still like the Moon DAC better. But it seems that it is time for an upgrade.

Can anybody recommend a DAC, preferably Moon, or maybe another brand, that would be a good upgrade from the Moon 100D?
An affordable upgrade that is, because I have looked at Moon's current offerings and well I do not want to remortgage the house...😉

Thanks in advance...
