DIGITAL PRECISION AND STREAMING

At the heart of the 891 is the advanced MDE-3 DAC, ensuring extremely low distortion of just 0.0003% and a dynamic range of 125 dB. With a frequency response of 2 Hz to 200 kHz, even the finest details in the music are preserved, and a signal-to-noise ratio of 125 dB ensures a remarkably clean and quiet background.

The built-in MiND2 module provides access to modern high-resolution streaming services, making the 891 a natural digital hub in your system. With six digital inputs, including USB and HDMI ARC, both music streaming and TV audio are integrated into a single device.

ANALOG VERSATILITY AND PHONO STAGE

The MOON 891 is not just a digital master – it also has a high-end analog heart. The built-in phono section supports both MM and MC pickups with flexible gain levels of 40, 54, 60 and 66 dB. The user can also adjust both capacitance and resistance (from 10 ohms to 47 kΩ), making it possible to fine-tune the system precisely to any pickup.

With an analog input impedance of 22 kΩ and an output impedance of just 50 ohms, the 891 ensures full compatibility with both classic and modern power amplifiers.

CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN

The MOON 891 is designed to impress both technically and aesthetically. The solid construction weighs 25 kg and measures 48 cm in width and 14 cm in height, emphasizing the no-compromise approach. The MOON Damping Base (MDB) ensures that vibrations are minimized, allowing the electronics to perform in the best conditions.

On the front you will find a 5” graphic color screen that makes navigation intuitive, and with the included BRM-1 remote control, operation is simple and elegant. Power consumption is optimized to 30 W in operation and just 5.5 W in low-power standby.

The MOON 891 Network Player / Preamplifier is the flagship of the North Collection – a complete solution where streaming, DAC, phono stage and preamp come together in one unit. It delivers an unparalleled combination of power, precision and flexibility that places it among the world's most ambitious high-end components.
